How long before a new government amends it again to strike the Criminal Code exception?
These people think we won't do anything about their bullshit, and they can't wait to call us all Convites if we show up in Ottawa to protest.
I think it's time for a general strike, regardless of whether or not they back down. This won't stop until we show them where it leads.
Video shows masked Border Patrol agent chasing woman back to her Louisiana home
Jacelynn Guzman said she is a U.S.-born citizen. The Department of Homeland Security said Friday that it "determined the individual in question was not the target."
Masked immigration authorities were recorded on video this week following a woman back to her Louisiana home during what the Department of Homeland Security is calling a “targeted immigration enforcement operation.”
Jacelynn Guzman, 23, was walking home Thursday from a corner store in Marrero, a New Orleans suburb, when a silver, unmarked SUV pulled up next to her and two masked agents exited, she said.
“I was walking and the first car pulled up on the side of me and I thought it was an Uber,” she said. “They said, ‘Wait don’t run, Ma’am.’ That’s all I heard before I blasted off,” Guzman told NBC News on Saturday.
Guzman said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen.
Expensive repairs are making it impossible for people to maintain the vehicles they already own. Simple fixes that used to take minutes now cost thousands or force you back to the dealer.

Bikeshedding, or why I want to build a laptop
I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels Apple’s quality is degrading. I spend 10 hours a day on my laptop and would spend any amount of money within reason for a better one. However, everything comes with tradeoffs.the singularity is nearer

Sounds absolutely stupid... and yet my (gaming) desktop (model CORSAIR ONE i180) remains untouched after nearly 6 years. I still play indies to AAA to VR with it. I still work with it, specifically VR prototyping, so dev.
If I were to give it away or use as a self-hosted server with GPU used on e.g Immich or video transcoding it would still do pretty well.
So...IMHO it's not a bad take but damn I remembered I paid a LOT of money back then. As other pointed out if you can afford it, sure. If you are not a professional then probably not.
Honduras Plunges Into Post-Election Turmoil as Electoral Official Alleges “Monumental Fraud”
José Luis Granados Ceja
Dec 06, 2025
Days removed from Sunday’s presidential vote, and still without a clear winner, Honduras’s post-election crisis became more contentious after a member of the country’s electoral authority denounced “monumental electoral fraud” on Thursday evening.Marlon Ochoa, a representative for the Libre Party on the three-member National Electoral Council (CNE), alleged coordinated and deliberate electoral fraud carried out by the other council members, Cossette Alejandra López-Osorio of the National Party and Ana Paola Hall of the Liberal Party.
Honduras Plunges Into Post-Election Turmoil as Electoral Official Alleges “Monumental Fraud”
A member of Honduras’s electoral authority says deliberate manipulation and internal sabotage compromised the general election vote—complicating a razor-thin race marred by U.S. interference.José Luis Granados Ceja (Drop Site News)
For context:
Libre is a third party that was formed in 2011. They're a coalition of leftist groups, and are democratic socialists.
In 2012 and 2013, at least 18 of their pre-candidates, candidates and staff were murdered.
In 2013, they lost the almost certainly fraudulent presidential election to the right-wing National Party candidate - Juan Orlando Hernández Alvarado, the narcotics trafficker who was just pardoned by Trump.

RSF strike on Kordofan kindergarten kills dozens, mostly children
A drone strike by Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) hit a kindergarten in South Kordofan, killing 50 people, including 33 children, the Sudan Doctors Network (SDN) said late on Friday.
The group said the RSF and its ally, Abdelaziz al-Hilu’s faction of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement - North (SPLM-N), on Thursday carried out “deliberate suicide-drone attacks" on the kindergarten and several civilian facilities in Kalogi town.
The SDN, a group that has been supporting civilians throughout the course of Sudan's war, said paramedics responding to the scene came under “a second, unexpected attack”.
Canada has legal duty to provide safe water, housing to remote First Nations, federal judge rules
A federal judge has sided with two First Nations in Manitoba and one in Ontario that sued the Canadian government over its duty to provide them with safe housing and clean drinking water, in separate rulings delivered Friday.
The federal government has had a duty to ensure Shamattawa First Nation, and other First Nations who opt into the northern Manitoba First Nation's class-action, were provided access to drinking water safe for human use over the claim period, Justice Paul Favel said in a decision.
Shamattawa launched the class-action, which was certified in 2023, on behalf of all First Nations members countrywide whose communities were subject to a drinking water advisory in effect on or after June 20, 2020.

The reasoning and the article has a link to the judgement if people want the super long legal version of it.
Favel said in both decisions the Canadian government made First Nations dependent by forcing them to relocate to reserves, and that the country has historically "exerted direct control over every facet of First Nations life through legislation, regulations, policies, and practices," including control over financing for water infrastructure and housing.
Also the personal opinion part you'd think Pierre and the Conservatives would applaud this given the stance on "government tyranny".

I wasn't following this too closely, but read that the other day.
What struck me was the new owner not having an account on the forum. :/
I have to confess that I was not aware of this, thank you so much for letting me (us) know. It's interesting, and shows why taking the time to research software as well as the devs in charge is so important. I did not see any red flags other than the way the handover has been handled though.
I get it, and I am well aware you're correct about the risks, but the infrastructure I'm running doesn't really allow me to go without it at the moment. I did stop the updates in my Obtainium entirely.
The good news is that this just came up: github.com/nel0x/syncthing-and…
So, it's looking bright right now.

I noticed nel0x started releases on their Github.
Currently, I'm undecided about waiting for a F-Droid repo or just install via apk from Github and get update notices through rss.
I don’t know man. This crap gives such ammunition to the “both sides are corrupt” argument.

Why did Ukraine suspend 11 ‘pro-Russia’ parties?
The suspensions have more to do with political polarisation than genuine security concerns related to the invasion.Volodymyr Ishchenko (Al Jazeera)
That is not even the end of it.
I'd like to add on that there is literal footage of Ukrainian troops firing into crowds of civilians in Mariupol and Krasnoarmeysk back in 2014, both after Maidan Coup.
There is also footage of Ukrainian Nazis carrying out a pogrom against the Romani in 2018.

Lastly, I just want to send out a huge thanks to all the app/frontend developers that have very patiently been helping us debug all these things as we have been implementing them on the test instance. Also, a thanks to users like Sunshine that make sure to keep the pressure on us to make sure we don't forget anything!
