Wait, the guy who… smoked crack, I think? Doug Ford.

close, that’s his brother! who is the current premier of ontario, much to the chagrin of everyone.

the one who smoke crack was rob ford, and he was mayor of toronto.

disappointing but not that strange. we love to criticize the usa all the time, but when they want something, we kneel and start licking the boots…

i’d advise against dell too if you’re avoiding framework for ethical reasons, they are a primary target of the bds movement for their involvement in israel’s genocide (so are intel and hp, for the record)

but MNT looks really cool i didn’t know of that one!

to my knowledge no one else really does the upgradeable main board and swappable i/o things… but for repairable and upgradeable linux laptops, I’ve heard good things about tuxedo, slimbook and system76, maybe you could find something good there

then of course there’s always the ol’ reliable Used Thinkpad, which could be better long-term because you’ll certainly find more second-hand pieces for those laptops than for the niche linux manufacturers

the other person who replied to me has a list of organisations/projets framework finances. among those is rails world, which is run by the same guy that does omarchy

wether they still support omarchy or not is kinda irrelevant because rails world (which is in your list) is run by the same guy

they still finance fascists btw

war special military operation with burkina faso in 3… 2… 1…

reparations are a form of wealth redistribution.

do you think taxing billionaires is “collective punishment”? but, oh no, what if some of them inherited that wealth 🥺 it would be so unfair to punish them by taking it away 🥺 all of that for what, the crime of being born into wealth? oh no, those poor, poor billionaires 🥺

oh a lot of americans on lemmy are already very upset lmao

the states would be paying those reparations, not the people individually

european states should pay reparations to the nations they colonized and enslaved, and colonial states (the usa, canada…) should pay reparations to their colonized populations.

canada, australia and new zealand also abstained

are the descendants of the enslaved people still suffering from it? are the descendants of the enslavers still benefitting from it? yes?

then reparations should be paid.

i wonder if they include the people in Lebanon too… israel has killed more than 600 Lebanese citizens so far and i don’t see much news about it

there’s gonna be health problems too. the people of Tehran are gonna be living with the many health problems that come with breathing in petroleum (cancer, respiratory diseases, preventable birth defects) for decades to come…

kill the united snakes. this country can’t be allowed to exist anymore.

there’s also many slaves who live in dubai

i sure wonder who, of the two, will be denied food

oh i know this is the goal, but the fact that people can defend those murders and this is how they do it, fucking sickening

holy shit is that what they’re saying??? murdering hundreds of innocent children to… own the libs???

how can someone have such little regard for human life??? privilege and entitlement are a murderous poison

imo copyright should be like patents. 20 years after the copyright was filed, it becomes public domain.

that’s the compromise at least, ideally copyright should not exist at all

an RCMP intelligence official testified in court that it was a honeypot

That counterpart, according to Ortis, briefed him about a “storefront” that was being created to attract criminal targets to an online encryption service. A storefront, said Ortis, is a fake business or entity, either online or bricks-and-mortar, set up by police or intelligence agencies.

The plan, he said, was to have criminals use the storefront — an online end-to-end encryption service called Tutanota — to allow authorities to collect intelligence about them.

“So if targets begin to use that service, the agency that’s collecting that information would be able to feed it back, that information, into the Five Eyes system, and then back into the RCMP,” Ortis said.

of course tuta replied, with their reply basically being “no we’re not, you have no proof”. so.
