  • Not OP, but for a while I tried using Ubuntu and Mint but kept on having random issues with my printer/scanner combo (Brother) and a couple of other problems that I don’t remember before I just gave up and switched over to pop.

    Been using it as my daily driver for a couple of years now and even the one time I did have something go sideways I was helped by people on the Telegram channel.

    On a side note there have been a couple of ranking lists released on YouTube and one of them noted that the desktop is a bit outdated but I really like the tiling window manager that pop has. Sure it eats shit sometimes but as of recently I haven’t had to think about it at all. I’m excited to see the new desktop that they are currently developing as well.




  • I’ve previously used YNAB but all of these budgeting apps are fairly similar. I think YNAB does have two different ways to sync accounts vs some of the competitors where they use only one way to sync accounts which sometimes causes issues syncing or even with which accounts you can sync with.

    Besides the above I would like to point out that YNAB runs a bit differently than a basic budgeting app. With YNAB you do have a budget but it forces you to assign every cent and then you have to do as planned (with flexibility of course) but I find others that they only provide a dashboard somewhat like an overview.

    An example would be Mint. Had it for years, configured and it was synced with my accounts. I used this as a quick overview of how my accounts were looking vs an budgeting program to help get my finances sorted. Then I got YNAB and I’m not exactly sure why but paying off CCs and building a savings happened without having to force anything on my end.

    Now you are you, I am myself. Give something a shot with honest effort. If you’re putting your best foot forward and getting help if you’re ever stuck or have a question, and it’s not working out in ~3 months, change it.





  • You’re correct, with a bit more know how and knowledge it’s completely doable. Quick question maybe, once you create a pool and are utilizing it, are you able to add/remove drives as needed or does that require additional work to be completed? I am under the impression that the pools can be created with a variety of drives but making any physical adjustments are a bit of trouble.

    However, I do appreciate you posting about this, maybe it’ll help someone else that might be browsing through here. Thank you.






  • UCP don’t give a shit about Albertan’s nor the province.

    As of date they have fucked the following (super short list):

    • Health Care - Cuts on top of cuts, also forcing doctors out or to certain areas after the local one left.
    • Education - Cuts once again and is now trying to mess with federal funding for post secondary.
    • Utilities - Removed caps on utilities.
    • Park Land - Released Park Land for O&G to drill on.
    • Support Programs - AISH got drastic cuts, just one of many examples.
    • Carbon Tax - Had we maintained the lower rate we initially had then we wouldn’t have been imposed the higher rate from Fed.

    War Room - WTF has this pile of shit been able to accomplish besides chewing through cash.

    The one thing that they have successfully achieved is bringing hatred and dividing the province’s people.

    I don’t have to. You shared the video with nothing else. No call to action, no question(s), no concerns, nothing.

    Why did you share this video? You thought this was a solid educational piece on FF didn’t you? That’s the only reason I can think of that fits requesting a counter. So no questions, no research, didn’t even browse the comments, just choked this video down and decided to pass it along. Hell you’re not the first person to run into and post this video, a quick search would show you multiple discussions on it.




  • No my guy, the hero doesn’t always win in the real world. This is where you get placed on PIP or start having performance issues, or get a promotion to a different team where there is a clash with your new manager.

    Given any opportunity I will always be for a union but good damn if the cards aren’t stacked against unions.



  • Lol two greedy companies who don’t have to actively do anything nor take accountability for any neglect on their part are of course happy to get more data and data points for nothing. Color me surprised.

    What I don’t understand is how people are completely complacent with this solution which is supposed to make housing more attainable.

    As a country we are not new to dealing with loans, credit, nor credit history. The system has been around for a long time.

    The problem is not people having too poor of a credit score or thin of a credit history to be able to obtain a mortgage from a bank. It’s the basic fact that if you’re Canadian you are going to be fucked financially in at least 3 different ways at any given time.

    To simplify I know companies will never pay employees what they are actually worth. It’s a nonsense game of carrot or crop. But if the cost of living wasn’t so high it makes reaching for a dream easier.

    Now back to this rent reporting program. Who is this program actually for? Its not for people with an established credit/loan history. For people that currently have bruised credit, adding rent payments to it isn’t going to help in any way. Going to take 7 years for whatever that bruised the score to fall off regardless of whatever it was.
