well mr. trump had done it,
republicans had won it,
with poilievre clucking all the while,
trudeau’s resignation made us smile,
wayne’s legacy lay unconscious on the bar-room tile.

we’re talkin’ trade war!
from maine to manitoba,
talkin’ trade war!
uranium and canola

edit: i ran out of ideas. was hoping someone could finish the last verse

i mean… the first rant was pandering to canadians for advertising purposes…

but this was self-made and self-published… the intent and sentiment seems pretty sincere to me

Pandering to who?

When you say “unrecoverable” do you mean the graphical desktop didnt load? Or you couldnt even log in to the terminal?

A lot of newbies assume that not getting to a graphical session means the OS is dead and nuke it and start over. When in a lot of cases, you can just switch to the command line and troubleshoot or roll back the broken drivers

Just for future reference if you try linux again

They had two things going for them… Decent linux support and non-shitty DRM ink/toner

Rens is part of groupe legault which also owns mondou and produces pet food in quebec

Read the post above mine… “Privacy respecting options” are almost always downstream forks of firefox. Abandon/kill the source, and downstream dries up

This needs to be higher up. We need firefox as an alternative to a chrome engine monopoly. ToS and telemetry are miniscule issues compared to what we are up against

Firefox is literally the last thing standing between google controlling the entire browser landscape and having control over all web standards (as if they dont already have too much influence)

People ditching firefox over tos, telemetry, AI, CEO pay, etc. are cutting off their nose to spite their face. Do i wish mozilla would stop doing stupid shit? Of course. But the alternative is far worse. Dont let perfect be the enemy of good. Mozilla will never be as ideologically pure as we want them to be, but that’s OK (for now)
