I mean, I haven’t watched the video. Guy however appeared in the Pandora papers. The Canadian government has sanctioned him for “gross and systematic human rights violations in Haiti and engaged in acts that threaten the peace, security, and stability of Haiti”. A quick search of his company (GB Group) seems to point to quasi-monopolistic practices on many Haitian markets. His father was sanctioned by the US as well in 91 around Aristide’s coup d’état. He is today Haiti’s one and only billionaire. He is also indeed a Zionist, even is honorary consul for Israel. What’s antisemitic about pointing any of that out?

My 7yo son definitely would have no idea about physical formats if he didn’t see my N64 cartridges sitting alongside the Switch lol. I had to explain to him that we had to buy or rent movies and games if we wanted them. Blew his mind.

Man, I’d settle for something that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg for a shit box with terrible range half the year when it goes under freezing temps…

Honestly, it’s just another shell. Both Bash and ZSH happen to be mostly POSIX compliant, so stuff that works for Bash tends to work with ZSH too. For me it’s mostly just about the stuff I can add to it - I use the antidote plugin manager to get additional autocomplete, syntax highlighting, suggestions, async prompt updates, that kind of thing.

The answer is very location dependent, and often multifaceted. However here in Canada it’s a combination of neglecting affordable housing construction for decades, a huge uptick in immigration raising demand in some areas, a total lack of political willpower (most of our MPs report housing income, many actual landlords), and an economy that’s over-leveraged on real estate in general.

Yeah, it’s a good shell. I’ve found the lack of compatibility with some bash tools to be inconvenient enough that I just went back to zsh and found alternatives for the parts that I liked about it. Works well enough for me.

I feel you. It’s however gotten a lot better since I turned some of these commands into abbreviations. They’re aliases that expands in place, more or less. Fish has them natively, I personally use zsh-abbr.

Hah, for me, this broke down in the middle of my degree lol

Dude has been stuck in a high school drama queen phase since forever. Stir shit up, act like people were wrong for reacting negatively to said shit, rinse and repeat. His anti-woke BS is just the cherry on top, I’m not surprised he went this way at all.

Mostly VR stuff, in the recent weeks. Specifically Golf+ since the IRL golf season is over and I’m sad about it, and I’ve been slowly getting into Elite Dangerous.

Nothing screams “small government” like provincial overreach into municipal politics, amirite

Ardour is indeed pretty good. I’m a Reaper guy, which is incidentally available on Linux as well nowadays, so on the DAW and audio interface front, I’m all covered. If anything, my older 2i4 runs slightly more stable over Linux/Pipewire than it does on Windows with the official driver. I’m more on the composition/production side of things (amateur, although I do have a very small amount of professional experience), it’s mostly the amp sim and virtual instruments landscapes that left me on my appetite a bit last time I tried. There just weren’t many option and they all frankly sounded like crap. Maybe that got better since then, I don’t know hehe.
