Part of this is because whenever something works, it inconveniences Doug Ford and his buddies so they make things worse.

More than 400 RCMP members accused of misconduct
More than 400 members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were accused of misconduct in 2024, leading to at least 20 dismissals and resignations.
According to the RCMP, it logged 443 cases of alleged misconduct in 2024 involving 408 employees. Nearly one quarter of these cases resulted in “serious” disciplinary measures, such as being declared ineligible for promotion or being forced to forfeit more than 80 hours of pay. Ten RCMP employees were also demoted to a lower rank or level, which was more than double the number of demotions made over the previous two years.
Five per cent of the misconduct cases, or approximately 22, resulted in termination or direction to resign, which was the most severe consequence. Over 70 per cent of cases led to remedial or corrective measures such as special training, close supervision or deferred promotions.
The misconduct cases were revealed in the RCMP’s Report on the Management of the RCMP Conduct Process, which was quietly released on Jan. 21. The report from Canada’s federal police force covers the 2024 calendar year.

Well, it's progress. We used to promote them and put them in charge of standards and training.
Honestly, this could be a good thing. It may look like more misconduct is happening, but it also could be the same amount as always. Only now it's coming to light and being dealt with.
ACAB, but maybe, just maybe, there's a little bit of light on the horizon?

Private members aren't actively blocked from external access; they're passively marked "Access prohibited".
That means that rather than being unable to find the members of a class, C programmers simply can't pick up on the signals telling them that they're not wanted.

Windows' UX is shit.
Windows 11 still has its settings splattered across multiple applications. The Settings application has all the shiny new gimmicks they added, yet still lacks any way to change some basic settings. If you need to reset a local user's password, you're stuck going back into the now-gutted Control Panel to do it. And if you want to change something that Microsoft feels the average user shouldn't be allowed to know exists, you're using the group policy editor to do it.
Or, how about the way that there's at least two applications installed by default that do the same or very similar things? Windows Media Player or Videos? Paint or Paint 3D? Cmd.exe or Windows Terminal?
How about the design language inconsistency? The Run dialog was left looking like a Windows 7 dialog and didn't get a dark mode until the mid 2020s. The Event Viewer and Windows Firewall UIs are still something right out of Windows XP, but with Vista-smeared paint applied on top.
Or, if that's not bad UX, then how about the ads in the start menu? Or how OneDrive tries to trick you into uploading your desktop to the cloud? Or, maybe all the telemetry services running in the background and slowing shit down?
If you're using a distro with a worse UX than that, then that's on you. There's plenty of options that provide a more cohesive UX than Windows
What this whole thing has taught me is that there is a market among billionaires for someone to peddle enslaved kids.
Now epstein is gone, and has been for years, but that demand doesn't just die. I don't have proof, but there is zero doubt in my mind that epstein is not a one and done. There's either another epstein, or more likely a dozen smaller epsteins out there.
There's a part of me that thinks all these ICE abducting kids is being done at trumps order, specifically as a means to replace epstein.
One of my favorite quotes of all times by henry ford reflects your statementent "Wether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right."
But I guess my last comment was more to highlight something odd about religious psychology and it is that this planet is not the end goal and that anything done here has implications on the judgement of your character in the afterlife to a faithful person. I guess religious execution would be a good example: In the modern times (this was not just in the middle ages), humans were still burned alive but the goal was not the spectacle as it often is assumed to be. When you read through proper literature from cardinals and theologians of those ages, (my favorite being Nicholas De Cusa which has written on this) the reason they practiced death by fire is because the pain was seen as an instrument to make the sinner regret their actions, allowing them to receive a quicker punishment for their actions here than endure what the christian god would give them in hell. This is therefore an attempt at saving their soul rather than a way to give everyone a show or even to deter other potential sinners by the public spectacle. And this in turn also was seen by the executioner as a way of acquiring more praise from god because they forced someone through a terrible situation, salvating the nature of their soul from any malice BEFORE they pass (meaning they saved the soul by lighting the body on fire). Frankism follows the same logic, sinning as a way to see the evil in sinning before you die and therefore being of higher religious value than a common soul which has not sinned as much. Because the pleasure in sinful acts is not the focus, what is the focus is that sinning brings suffering to even the sinner. This can be understood by false analogies like how a thief or a murderer will not acquire happiness from their act despite those acts being pleasurable to them. Because pleasure and happiness are not the same. Pleasure is ephemeral, happiness lasts. But knowledge also lasts, and so the murderer or thief will be brought to realizing the evil of their ways prior to death, following the assumption that most people experience the regret for sins they have commited before their passing.
And the same goes for ISIS which would stone some of their prisonners, typically when they were muslims as a way of saving them before their passage, strangely they prefered to just kill the caucasian prisonners right away by beheading which then was indeed for the spectale and deterrence of western visitors. This world is weird sometimes.
Beyond just the pedophilia, his (Epstein) operation was largely one of socialising, and securing (probably coerced) introductions from people he helped facilitate and now held blackmail over.
e.g. using blackmail material on a Bill Gates to secure an introduction to another wealthy and influential individual, offering them a “massage” and then producing kompromat at a later date to bring them into his circle.
Now don’t get me wrong, everyone who found themselves in this position was a willing participant, not a victim - but I can understand how so many oligarchs eventually found their way into his little black book.
Noam Chomsky, that's what broke my faith in humanity. His work in linguistics is why I'm a computer scientist, his work in political activism was my introduction to leftist theory, so much of what I do and think every day is directly influenced by his work.
Turns out at the end of the day he's a neo-liberal apartheid supporting hypocrite and possibly a pedophile.
Pre 2008 conviction contacts can be excused by ignorance. E.g. Stephen Hawking visited Epstein Island with other scientists in 2006.
Gates was happy to make house visits to Epstein in 2011-2014

Something that the society achieved in the last 150 years are two dogmas:
- 5/7 8 hours workweek is a maximum
- people before 18 should not have sex with people after 18
I'm kinda glad that questioning these puts one into a category of weirdos.
5/7 8 hours workweek is a maximum
I question this, it's way too much labor with not enough compensation.
thank you.
very important to share here.
unfortunately I've heard similar phrasings and ideas expressed by 20- and 30-something year olds in the gaming community.

Former PMs Harper, Chretien discuss nationalism, defence in sit-down conversation
Former prime ministers Stephen Harper and Jean Chretien sat down for a fireside chat in Ottawa to discuss the topic of “Canada and the World,” moderated by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS).
Ahead of the conversation, Harper received an RCGS Gold Medal at a ceremony in Ottawa, in recognition of his “distinguished career in public service,” according to the organization.
Harper on nationalism
“We are living in an age of nationalism,” Harper says, adding that Canada has no reason to not being nationalist. “We have a lot to be proud of.”

Hollywood like any other industry is just overwhelmingly greedy. Instead of getting a buck or two from everyone they want to get a hundred bucks from a portion of them…. While screwing basically everyone working on the project and funneling the proceeds into the hands of an extreme minority.
The rent seeking from subscriptions that has all but swallowed whole all media is disgusting. Physical media will be gone soon and we will be left with shitty bitrate renting.

Anyway, I can't remember the last time I've used Mega, for anything. None of the cool sites use them, afaik. There's like a million better sites now, and the best stuff is in Russia, since they barely touch piracy sites. it's so often in a piracy sites lifecycle for them to start on a normal tld, get banned, move to a weird tld, get banned, then move to a cool foreign countries tld.
