Agreed. According to current polling, if the Conservatives get votes at the botttom of their confidence interval, and ALL the other parties get votes at the very top of their confidence intervals, it’s still a PCPO minority.

The problem as I see it is that both the OLP and the ONDP see the other as “taking their voters”. “If only those idiots supporting the <insert party here> would vote for us, then we could defeat Doug Ford!”

Meanwhile, if they ran as a semi-coalition, and got out of each others way in a few dozen ridings, they could at least reduce Ford to a minority, or possibly form a coalition. In the absence of proportional representation or a ranked ballot (or both), it’s the best way to prevent vote splitting among 60% of Ontario from allowing Ford to win again.

Examples:

• Scarborough Centre: If the NDP gets out of the way, it goes from Lean PCPO to Likely OLP
• Timiskaming-Cochrane: If the Liberals get out of the way, Lean PCPO → Lean NDP
• Algoma-Mnitoulin: Liberals get out of the way, Toss-up NDP/PCPO → Lean NDP
• Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte: NDP get out of the way, Toss-up OLP/PCPO → … okay this one probably stays a toss-up, but the advantage shifts to the OLP from the PCPO.

Notably, I would leave ridings like Humber River—Black Creek out of consideration, as that’s a solid 3-way race.

If you’re concerned about being able to govern as a coalition, make your #1 priority electoral reform. Get that done and then see where it goes from there.

I took 5 minutes, and looked at one polling aggregator, and found a possible path to moving 4 seats. You need to move ~30 seats to get Ford out of power according to today’s polling. If the OLP and ONDP can’t work together to find a path to victory for them together, neither of them deserve to lead, IMO.

(Fortunately for me, I get to vote for Catherine Fife (NDP-Waterloo), and her seat is pretty safe)

Ahh, the comment I was looking for

I would have also accepted: “Haskell did it first.”

Yeah, I just saw news about that last night. If he can make recess appointments it’s all over.

X2go is the successor to NX and works well IMO, though I’ve never tried Rustdesk to compare.

My understanding is that there hasn’t been a technical Senate recess in a long time. I think there b has to be a 5 day gap or something, so one senator stays in DC, calls the Senate to order, then adjourns it. Something like that.

I hear the screams of the vegetables (scream, scream, scream)

Watching their skins being peeled (having their insides revealed)

Grated and steamed with no mercy (burning off calories)

How do you think that feels? (bet it hurts really bad)

Carrot juice constitutes murder (V8’s genocide)

Greenhouses prisons for slaves (let my vegetables grow)

We have to stop all this gardening (it’s dirty as hell)

Let’s call a spade a spade (a spade is a spade is a spade is a spade is a…)

First, you’re stronger than i. Congrats on the life shift.

Second, “not having constant input” can be viewed as a skill. Meditation is a way that I have practiced that skill (I’m quite out of practice these days).

I recommend doing guided meditation. It’s not the thing for everyone, but it helps some.

They’re Japanese patents, so maybe they’re already circulating in Japanese media and haven’t been translated yet.

Alternatively, maybe the Japanese Patent Office requires you to follow some bureaucratic process to get a copy: like you have to be a lawyer and it takes 4-6 weeks to get your reply. I don’t know, but Japan just finally got rid of its last laws requiring floppy disks for certain processes a few years back, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility

I’m sure we’ll hear the details soon.

I wish FIDO had paid more attention to SQRL. It’s long in the tooth now, but with some attention it could have been a better solution than passkeys, IMO.

I’d argue that the concept of isolated environments is great. Python’s implementation… leaves something to be desired.

It’s still a bit hacky, even in Python 3. Tools like uv and pdm exist in the gaps to smooth it out.

That said, it’s something that the core community is actively working on and it’s not something users will face day to day.

I say this as someone who moved from PHP 3 to Python 2 to Ruby to PHP 6+ to Python 3 as their goto language over the years.

I regret that I have but only one upvote to give.

That depends on whether you treat “limericks” as a trochee (long-short, i.e. “lim-ricks”) or a dactyl (long-short-short, i.e. “lim-er-icks”).

Firefox still doesn’t have a native vertical tab bar.

That is only mostly true now. There is an about:config setting you can turn on in FF 129 (released this week) which will let you have native vertical tabs. The implementation is only about half done, but it’s good enough for me to use alongside Sidebery Tabs.

You can track progress on vertical tabs in Bugzilla. They are also working on tab groups, but that work is at an earlier stage.

All in all, I think we’ll see vertical tabs in the next 6 months or so? As a devout Firefox user and resister of the Chromium monopoly, I am really excited.

Sounds to me like lawyers got wind of it and were worried that NVIDIA might sue them because they paid to have it made. They would likely be concerned about this whether or not NVIDIA had a case.

Even everyone’s favourite Gary Brannan, Gary Brannan?

Tried it out. Liking it so far, but I might have soft-locked the demo? I think I got into a state where I can’t get a key to progress. Or at least I can’t seem to find it. Happy to send pics of map or copy of save file if it would be valuable.

You could probably do a season about how all the people making up and spreading the conspiracies are all part of a conspiracy…

Through the magic of buying two of them…

I’m already on an independent git forge, so I have that covered.

I only read the protocol document and skimmed the guide, so I didn’t see the cryptocurrency angle of the funding company. Yeah, that’s a bit of a warning sign.
