Because using your freedom to promote options that restrict freedom means helping to remove your freedom. But hey, what do the Linux elders know? Clearly the new people into Linux are far smarter...

Flatpaks, appimages, snaps, etc: why download dependencies once when you can download them every time and bloat your system? Also, heaving to list installed flatpaks and run them is dumb too, why aren't they proper executables? "flatpak run com.thisIsDumb.fuckinEh" instead of just ./fuckinEh

No thanks. I'll stick to repos and manually compiling software before I seek out a flatpak or the like.

This shit is why hobbies and things should be gatekept. Just look at how shit PC design is these days. Now they're coming after the OS.

Speeding is inherently a human problem because speed limits are a human constraint. There's no reason why we should have 4 lane roads (2 in each direction, sometimes even with a middle turning lane) at 50-60km/h. There's also no reason why they should be going from 80 down to 50-60.

Like literally right on the curb, sometimes on the road edge of the road itself, making it incredibly difficult to see around them when making a turn.

It's next-level stupid. Like should some dipshit lose control of their car or take the turn too sharp, that person is fucked.

This is more "fix the symptom instead of the problem" though I do agree that we need better pedestrian infrastructure.

That's fair, but easy to do: don't have the cops issue tickets for driving slowly on days where there is inclimate weather.

Depends on how often the camera needs to be repaired/replaced and where the money goes for the tickets it writes.

Cops need to start ticketing:

• people changing lanes without indication
• people turning without indication
• people driving in the inside lane when they're not passing
• people who take more than 2 seconds to react to a light change
• People following bumper-to-bumper forming left-turn trains through yellow/red lights
• People who take more than a few seconds to get back up to speed

And also:

• Pedestrians who stand on the edge of the curb at the corner waiting for the light to change so they can cross
• Pedestrians standing literally on the edge of the road at the corner waiting for the light to change so they can cross

Instead of wasting money on speed cameras and reducing speeds, we should be aggressively ticketing distracted drivers and pedestrians, and people who struggle to reach the limit in the first place.

Yes, but in this case they are punching up - just not high enough.

I'll never understand that logic... No, your father is horribly underpaid and instead of joining forces with the unions to get better working conditions and wages, we're gonna shit on them so we have no leg left to stand on.

Brilliant

I remember when we used to laugh and ignore people with these default-generated Reddit usernames... What a stupid community they've become. If you can't take the few seconds to create a username, you're not there for anything more than spamming bullshit.

I don't think there was any distraction. We had two shit choices and NDP. And since this country fails to elect NDP time after time, it was a given that we were pretty fucked. The main difference during this election between the parties that I saw were:

1. The Liberal platform didn't contradict itself every point or two

2. The Liberal platform focused a lot more on domestic tourism, accessibility, and making it easier to transport our own goods across provincial borders.

I don't see how bill C-5 fits into any of the platform they put forward.
