OneBC leader Dallas Brodie ‘removed’ leaving party’s future in flux | Globalnews.ca


This was the lady that was too nutty for the BC Conservatives and got removed 9 months ago to form her own party to get seemingly removed today from her own party.
in reply to SamuelRJankis

So BC conservatives AND alt-right BC conservatives found their leaders inappropriate? Did either party explain why?
in reply to Em Adespoton

Haven't seen any formal statements beyond ambiguous things.

Aaron Gunn name is rumoured for the BC Conservatives leadership so maybe it was because they weren't nutty enough.

in reply to SamuelRJankis

The formal statement is out now — in this case it’s because an aide wanted to tweet neo-nazi propaganda in her name and she responded by trying to get them fired… and others in the party responded by firing her instead for not being neo nazi enough.
in reply to Em Adespoton

looks like they couldn't get along. Nothing to do with their politics being different.


Man who killed US troops in Syria was a recent recruit to security forces, official says


BEIRUT (AP) — A man who carried out an attack in Syria that killed three U.S. ~~citizens~~ terrorrists had joined Syria’s internal security forces as a base security guard two months earlier and was recently reassigned amid suspicions that he might be affiliated with the Islamic State group, a Syrian official told The Associated Press Sunday.

The attack Saturday in the Syrian desert near the historic city of Palmyra killed two U.S. service members and one American ~~civilian~~ and wounded three others. It also wounded three members of the Syrian security forces who clashed with the gunman, interior ministry spokesperson Nour al-Din al-Baba said.

It's almost like there are consequences when companies are allowed to merge until there's only a few left.

How soon before modular PCs are killed outright and the only desktops you can buy are mini PCs with no expansion or upgradability at all?

So even the enthusiasts would rather, or are probably going to be forced to, give up their custom-built PCs, which they can do whatever they want with and run whatever OS and software they want on, for locked-down black boxes they don't even own anymore, even possibly to the degree where they can't even install their own OS anymore, so no more Linux or BSD outside of some niche hardware? That sucks.

You can run Linux on ARM. I do. And let’s not act like x86 wasn’t full of Microsoft-led efforts to undermine Linux. Anyone who’s had to disembowel their BIOS settings to the tune of “Your PC will be unsafe! Are you sure you want to run a LEGACY OS???” is familiar.

I’m not a huge fan of the idea of buying CPU+GPU+RAM+mobo all as one unit. But like… that’s what tends to happen. Audio cards, SATA drives, network cards, these things all used to be separated until motherboards offered features to streamline things.

The real problem is not form factor, but lack of competition. If there were 10-15 Qualcomms out there, offering different combos and a la carte options, there’d be no problem. It’s only because there are a tiny number of dominant players in the space that technical consolidation automatically translates to abusing consumers.

Someone on the other thread in this same community (this was posted twice) suggested thin clients and subscription based cloud instances. Mini PCs would be a mercy in comparison and I don't think we're getting that mercy.

They used finetuning in the research, but you can definitely see this kind of behavior in the course of regular prompting, particularly as the context starts to fill up. (Possibly related to this paper?)
