Warehouse

No level of government has the time to play whack-a-mole.

Hence why the likely outcome of this is that any website that originates outside of Canada will just be blocked, unless the company agrees to maintaining 6 months of metadata in Canada. They can just tell the ISPs to block any traffic outside of Canada and have a whitelist.

Whatever data that comes into Canada will have its metadata stored in easily accessable data centres.

They managed to do this with the Great Firewall of China, so don’t think that it isn’t possible.

If there is a company in Panama that offers services in Canada, that means for their Canadian customers they are keeping 6 months of metadata in an easily accessible server in Canada. If they aren’t, then Canada must IP block their services. VPN services that do not keep 6 months of your metadata also must be IP blocked.
The only way to get around this is to physically leave Canada.

This includes the team behind Lemmy. Being Canadian, after this bill, if they aren’t logging every single ping that reaches their website and making sure it is easily accessible, they are committing a crime.

A lot more than a third of eligible voters came out to vote. Not all the polls have even been unofficially counted yet and we’re at nearly 1.9 million of the 2.9 million eligible voters.

Also, this is a vote to have a vote to leave, so what we’re seeing with is the ceiling, you’d expect more for a stay vote if it actually came to that.

Trump implemented tarrifs the last time he was President as well, the difference being that he wasn’t (at least openly) doing it to try to annex our country. This time it is very much that, to the point that accepting the last trade deal would have made us a de facto protectorate of the United States.

Canada doesn’t show this increase either, going from 3.1-5.6-3.8. Mexico did increase from 2.6 to about 6 percent, and that 6 percent was consistent for June and July.

@theblacklounge@lemmy.zip might be correct in that it’s webscrapers.

You could just go to Lemvotes and figure out the specific users who did as well.

Yeah, your upvotes and downvotes are public.

For the cost of one orbital data centre you could probably build 10 terrestrial data centres, bribe literally everyone involved in the contrustion to pretend that they built it in space, buy an island, fake your death, and spend the rest of your life off grid.

I’m guessing that they might have been a bit worried about people actually dying at the event rather than just people being sweaty.

Sure, but we don’t have to give our biometric data to a US weapons manufacturer in order to purchase alcohol.

I don’t get why people want to eat the rich so much. Doesn’t that cause prion disease?

It’s a warehouse, not a store.

So, in the video, when you looked at this:

You saw a dark black and a navy blue? Or is it only in the context of the full image that you’re seeing it as dark black and navy blue?

So, when you say that you never understood how anyone saw gold are you

a) Seeing an extremely washed out image and compensating
or
b) You are literally seeing a solid black and a navy blue i.e. there’s basically an insignificant amount of difference to your eye between the black part of the dress and #000000

If it’s the former that might explain some of the difference in opinion, if it’s the latter then I have no idea how I would manage to interpret it as black.

I guess it depends. Are people looking at the left image and going “Yep, that is definitely a dark black and navy blue”? Using a colour picker, the darker areas show up as somewhere around #7a6642, which definitely isn’t the black #231e16 we see on the right. Same with the lighter spots: we’re seeing something around #8596bb, which again isn’t the navy blue of #3a45c3

Quite simply, I cannot make the dress in the left image look like the dress in the right, even if the dress in those images are supposed to be identical.

It looks like this for me. Granted I’m on Piefed so that’s probably part of the reason.

When I read that paragraph, I was gobsmacked. They “spent months analyzing feedback”? Seriously? They needed charts and graphs to figure out that people just want Windows to work?

Should they have not analyzed feedback? Out of everything you could complain about Microsoft, complaining about them taking their time to get it right this time wouldn’t be one of them. I mean, they aren’t going to get it right this time, but that seems like a different complaint.

I don’t think they actually have. They’ve even implied the opposite at times. https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/25/sam-altman-warns-theres-no-legal-confidentiality-when-using-chatgpt-as-a-therapist/

“Well, someone needs to run Vichy Canada!”
-Pierre, probably.

My bad, it seemed like you were implying that the 38.7% of people who signed the Forever Canadian petition and the 30% who are (or at least were) for Alberta separatism were the exact same group.
