Uh… Probably somewhere around 150?

Snaps should put them in F tier.

I work in computers, remotely. So 8.5 hours minimum every day. Then I have to use a phone to communicate, so an additional 2 hours or so on that… And then some tv or games to chill. Yeah 13 hours a day seems about right… Yuck.

Im… Getting there. For now I built my own cloud at home… But browsers themselves are becoming a problem.

You’re mixing the Signal Foundation up with the original creator of Signal who has stepped down and is no longer involved… And is off…

Building fucking AI bots apparently? Thank goodness he’s not involved with Signal anymore.

Same!

As someone who moved from a province with flouride to one without it in the water, no flouride in the water is a greedy dentists wet dream.

Never had a cavity but now without flouride they just keep coming.

In Canada, the only province that historically has a rate that high is Ontario, and that is because they use Nuclear power, which is more expensive to maintain, and also they have no protection laws for consumers. So residents of Ontario pay what the US companies are willing to pay for power.

The neighbouring province, Quebec, uses primarily Hydro Electric dams, and has protection laws that restrict pricing for hydro power for residents of Quebec to a reasonable margin above cost, regardless of what the US is willing to pay for the power.

When I lived in Ontario, the price was $24c/kwh, while Quebec was $8/kwh

Ontario has had new laws passed with the energy board and now it appears their price is down to $14c/kwh according to this site, but I’m willing to bet that is highly dependent on surge pricing. Getting straight answer on costs is difficult these days with all the tiered pricing.

Apparently Alberta is more expensive than Ontario now… Must be all that “freedom” they have… Did they privatise electric in addition to everything else there? I’m not familiar with how their grid is powered… Maybe its oil/coal based. Which would be unsurprising.

Was super interested right up until the AI recommendations bit.

Lol, lost the internet because they have less DCs?

Meanwhile most of America is still on dialup or early 2000s broadband speeds.

This is a fucking shallow definition of winning.

Lol, this post has everything, even Sherlock holmes fan fiction.

Anyone contributing to open source either does it:

• on their companies dime, which means they work for a rare company building open source solutions
• at the end of their day, on their weekend, or during their vacation

Most FOSS devs are in position two. By a large margin. They could be relaxing, or earning more money doing freelancing to make ends meet, but instead they are trying to build something they want to see happen. That requires focusing on the important tasks and that often means not having time to spend on poorly reported bugs that are actually users just not RTFM and opening issues. It wastes the devs time, and projects with too much of this have development stagnate and are frequently shuttered.

And devs that just do this to get a better job stop contributions once their new job takes over their life, and then the project suffers.

Users need to appreciate FOSS devs more because some of the most important projects we need in 2025 are developed only because they want to see them happen.

Oh, go to your DDG options and turn the AI slop off.

No pensions, just an RRSP, and these assholes who did away with pensions keep manipulating the market in their favour.

Took me 30 years to barely get into a house before interest rates skyrocketed, and now the ai crash will likely take that from me.

Ill be working till I die, and at this point Ill likely be dead before retirement from stress, war, or both.

And the fun all started when I graduated directly into the dotcom crash.

I have run Pihole on 2 physical Pi 4s (DietPi OS) with config sync for 3 years now. Core to the house. Very reliable.

Don’t use Google. DDG works with keyword searches and you get exactly what you expect.

For horribly inaccurate results that sound like they were written by a $5 SEO article writer.

Ill stick with key word search and skipping over all the SEO crap for.real results.

Oh sorry, just realized we are talking app servers.

Yeah, Google apps, and linux hosted apps. Havent had a company that ran windows or MS anything in 14 years.

Forgejo and self hosted action workers.
