Blairmore latest Alberta community to lose bank branch — a trend seen across Canada
Valerie Robinson has been a CIBC customer for almost 30 years. Now, that’s coming to an end.
She lives and does her banking in the Crownest Pass town of Blairmore, Alta..
The bank notified the community of 1,500 in September that the local branch will close on Feb. 5. The nearest other CIBC branch is about 40 kilometres away in Pincher Creek.
CIBC will remove its ATM in Blairmore too.
Robinson is worried about locals’ reduced access to cash: the currency of the small transactions that fund the life of the town.
“All of our fundraising, like with the service groups, curling, sports activities for kids — you're not going to have a kid going around with a debit machine to sell their raffle tickets, you know.”
CachyOS founder explains why they didn't join the new Open Gaming Collective (OGC)

Maybe. I'm leaning more towards the typical "letting developer toxicity run rampant" situation:
And based in what is provider there I do not see a problematic statement by antheas (or how he is called). Maybe more context is needed?

Hmm, what is this news source? I'm not familiar with The Spectator. Who owns that?
Sir Paul Roderick Clucas Marshall is a British hedge fund manager, philanthropist, and media baron. He is the owner of UnHerd and The Spectator, and co-owner of GB News. According to the Sunday Times Rich List, he had an estimated net worth of £875 million in 2024, up from £630 million in 2020.
Who is the writer of the article, Jane Stannus?:
Oh, I see. A PP glazer and writer for Catholic publications. Not Canadian, btw. Ok then.
Time for you to unplug from f***book and right wing (mostly US owned, or in this case British oligarch owned and written by a USian) media for a bit there buddy.
Go touch some grass and maybe read an article from a competing viewpoint once n awhile so you start to notice the blatant lies and brainwashing you are falling victim to. Its disgustingly obvious if you just bother reading both viewpoints and think even a little critically about the information you are being fed.

I find it odd that the post article is not stopping extortion but stopping Indian extortion.

For targetting ratio, you need to target the general taste of the tracker (example: BLU likes high quality remuxes. BluRay DLs arent as popular).
Other than that, try to crossseed as much as you can ;)

in reply to slothrop • • •Torrenting in Germany is DANGEROUS. Piracy is in general harshly prosecuted here but "one click downloads" are in a gray zone. That means while you can download everything you want, Uploading is very illegal and henceforth seeding.
This is also the reason why i didn't seed my Linux back. Nobody in the world knows if i am allowed to seed proprietary software but if i am unlucky, that means pain.

Seeding actual .isos is legal.
What is illegal is torrenting movies and stuff. You know, stuff that one usually needs to pay for.
And for the 2nd part, you can rent a seedbox somewhere where they don't care for your little mishehaviour
