Ottawa announced yesterday that they’ll be dropping more than half of federal internal trade barriers.

Mull was part of the DIvestOS project, which has recently been discontinued.

For a similarly strengthened fork, I’ve been using IronFox after seeing it recommended on Lemmy.

I grew up going to school in French, in an area of New Brunswick that’s roughly 50/50 Anglo/Franco. I relate a lot to what Fontaine has to say in this interview about how education is vital to linguistic and cultural survival.

On a related note, I find it’s a pity there’s not more solidarity in regards to Indigenous language rights from minority Francophone communities. You’d think we’d empathize with their plight, and we could be allies in this fight. Sadly, a lot of people buy into the anti-indigenous rhetoric that permeates Canada.

Free as in freedom, not free as in beer.

Thanks for the overview! I appreciate it, and can definitely see how these features could be worth the investment depending on your use case. I guess I’ve mostly seen Kagi pushed as a privacy-respecting option, which doesn’t appeal to me considering the alternatives such as Searxng.

Feature-wise, I can definitely see why some people would prefer Kagi.

Care to share what makes it worth it for you? I’m honestly curious.

I truly don’t understand the hype around Kagi. Maybe I’m just too wrapped-up in my own little FOSS and privacy world, but paying for a closed-source solution that ties you into an account just doesn’t make sense to me.

For basically as much money as an unlimited Kagi plan, you can rent a small VPS to host Searxng and a VPN service to run it behind and you’d have a much more privacy-respecting search solution, plus a VPS to play with. Kagi just seems like such poor value for your money. Granted, I’ve never used it, but I can’t imagine its results could realistically be good enough to justify paying 10$/month.

It’s a bit unreal to be reading a serious, sincere article about Canadian insurgency in the face of an invasion from the US. I get that The Tyee isn’t exactly mainstream journalism, but it’s hardly your local anarchist newsletter either.

After spending most of my life fearing societal collapse, instability, and war, it feels like everything is suddenly right at our doorstep. I’m scared.

I’m not sure how it would do multiple languages however, as I’ve not tried it.

As someone who types the majority of my thoughts in Frenglish, Heliboard is the only FOSS keyboard I’ve found that would remotely accommodate that while still having useful autocorrect.

Add 40 million left leaning socialism supporting voters to the USA

Man, I wish I lived in the Canada that exists in your head. It sounds so much cooler than Real Canada.

I love the look of it, federated blogging is such a neat idea!

What software do you use to do this? WriteFreely?

I don’t have traditional TV service so I’m unfamiliar with what “shit” Google is pushing through the TV app. However, if it’s what I suspect (ads), a possible option would be using a local DNS server (like pi-hole or Unbound) to block Google domains on your TV.

VERB THE NOUN

It uses the MIT license!

I really don’t understand why his base tolerates it.

Because the relationship between him and his “base” isn’t one between citizens and politician, it’s a literally a cult following their leader.

I feel like TV is inherently a shit medium for news.

Get ready for their radio and print journalism to go down the shitter as well when PP defunds the CBC 🫠

I feel like running grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg would probably fix that.

Disclaimer: I mostly have no idea what I’m talking about.

No, it’s not like stealing a physical item from a store.

I’d argue stealing physical items from massive corporations is also morally acceptable. If you shoplift from a small mom & pop store, you’re actively hurting your community, however, if you shoplift from Wal-Mart, you’re actively hurting an entity which is hurting your community, therefore helping your community.

The difference is, if the app were open-source someone could continue developing it.

If it’s proprietary, you’re shit out of luck.

There’s many things I dislike about how Mozilla operates, they are however completely outweighed by the massive list of things I dislike about Google.

Seeing as the only realistic options for browsers use either Blink or Gecko as their engine, I’d much rather use Mozilla’s offering than contribute (even if ever so slightly) to Google’s monopolizing of the web.
