GOS’s argument over the attestation is that it’s essentially the same as Google’s system. It approves the devices themselves regardless of their security. An approved device isn’t more secure in any way just because it’s on the list. It’s just a way of arbitrarily excluding any OS that they don’t like while still allowing devices that are obsolete or behind on security updates.

Nothing special about them. It’s just a different name for a regular convenience store.

It has neither the positive reputation you assume

This is true. Quebec French is often looked down on by other native French speakers. It’s seen as a rougher version of the language, mostly due to its accent and different pronunciations, and often Quebecois’ simplified vocabulary compared to the French. But what the previous comment was about is that Quebec French is closer to what French sounded like a couple centuries ago, and the language in France has shifted in a different way.

nor do Quebecois say “le stationnement”.

Yes we do.

Quebec has a problem with English in particular as it is seen as overtaking its culture. As such, a lot of English words that the French have directly adopted are instead translated into Frencher versions of the words. Stationnement vs parking is one example, magasinage vs shopping is another.

Yes the word for cat is “chat” but the word for chat, in the online sense is also “chat” and it’s pronounced like the English word. It should also be capitalised because it’s a proper noun, eliminating the ambiguity that may exist.

IMO switching to Linux as a new user is no harder than switching from Windows to Mac, which I think is something more people can identify with and aren’t afraid of, for the most part.

But how do you pronounce zoo?

An event for women playing a game about cooking.

I mean if it was intended that way, it’s pretty nasty, but a game is a game, and Overcooked is a ton of fun and chaotic, so it’s entertaining to watch as well.

Those sellers post their stuff on every marketplace they can, and just fulfill it through their Amazon store. Ebay, Etsy, Walmart, Best Buy, etc, are all full of Amazon sellers.

Youtube definitely hinders the experience if you have adblockers. I’ve had a page load instantly and the video start to buffer immediately, only to refresh on its own a fraction of a second later, load the page slowly, and then wait about 10 seconds before any buffering would happen. If adblockers are disabled, the page loads instantly and the video buffers immediately.

I also regularly get the little popup in the corner saying “Experiencing interruptions?” but shockingly only if the adblocker is enabled. Weird.

It’s actually gigabit.

If it didn’t work they wouldm’t profit from it.

Advertising exists for a reason, and that’s becsuse it’s very effective.

Spies are so common all over the world, they called them diplomats and gave them their own offices.

The SC has ruled that the president is immune to prosecution for any actions done in an official capacity. Now I’m not advocating for the assasination of the entire Supreme Court, but it apparently would be legal, along with a whole host of other unsavory things that could solve many of those issues.

Many bike lanes are plowed in the winter. The weather is almost always “permitting” depending on how brave you are.

I’ve never seen a giraffe indoors

The actor unions typically require that each actor use a unique name, which is why so many actors use their middle initials, or use an alternate name.

I don’t have a solution for your issue, sadly.

This was the smallest Bluetooth chip back in 2017. I can’t even imagine what else they can fit into the form factor of a USB-C plug nowadays.

C-to-C is even worse because Usb-C requires a chip in the connector, and you never know what that chip is capable of. Usb-A would only have a chip in it if it’s been tampered with.

Have you ever cleaned out a lint trap? All that lint used to be part of the clothes.

That’s an illusory wall if I’ve ever seen one. There’s a hidden bonfire there, and you have to drop off the roof to find it.
