The politician is Avi Lewis, leader of the (federal) NDP, and it's a good call. Nuking the Bioware studio in Edmonton is a major blow to a blossoming industry in Alberta that has been building around their success for the last 30 years.

Alberta needs more than oil and gas, and helping when EA's decision threatens to ruin 30 years of game dev industry growth here overnight is how we ensure that can happen. There is undoubtedly people that Bioware attracted to computer science and software development attending the U of A, Grant MacEwen, and other tech schools in Edmonton today who were planning to, or hoping to stay here for their career. They're in class wondering WTF just happened and assuming they'll have to leave Alberta to follow the industry... Vancouver and Montreal are calling to them.

We should show them we give a fuck about what's been built here. That's a pipeline worth paying into, imho.

Deserves a post of his own he does!

Canadian studio based out of my home town of Edmonton. Fuck you, EA.

This is neat, thanks for posting. I was playing with btrbk a few weeks ago to take advantage of btrfs and set up incremental backups of my laptop to a storage server. The storage server only runs xfs, but I learned you can build btrfs subvolumes on top by creating a loop device with a few commands.

Anyway, it was really satisfying to set up and has me wanting more Fun with Subvolumes. Installing other distros onto subvolumes sound like a goos time to me! 😊

The storage server only has xfs, but you can build btrfs subvolumes on top by creating a loop device with a few commands, no preallocated space required.

Anyway it was pretty satisfying to get going and has made me want to have more Fun with Subvolumes! Installing distros on subvolumes sounds like a good time to me!

I've done this as well, but Fennec doesn't seem to care at all, and still happily connects, even after cache clears and a reboot. Fennec also ignored the about:config change another commenter suggested. Makes no sense. It's pissing me off.

CEO has CEO opinion, news at 11!

Thanks, I tried harder and got the same result as you. Edited my comment above to reflect.

• Vanadium 155.0.8059.84 (config 217) on GrapheneOS connects to ~~6/12~~ 0/12. Last updated 2026-10-17
• Fennec 158.0.0 (build #1580020) connects to 12/12. Last updated 2026-10-14
• edited: after I hit 'run again' a couple times Vanadium went 0/12, so hurray. Didn't make a difference to my dear Fennec though.

When it's convenient to do so, they equate the vehicle to a giant gun the driver is pointing at them. That way they don't need to think at all and can pull trigger until scary thing stops.

It took a minute to wrap my head around the fact you really do mean a speed limit in mph/kph applied to a wireless service client... it makes no sense to me. The signals operate at the speed of light, so that versus the speed of a private jet or a car on the freeway makes no practical difference.

Like you say it's an arbitrary restriction, but I guess that's the true innovation, ugh. I look forward to my local Big Giant Telco stealing this idea to charge even more for cell phone data...
