This slightly diminishes my fears about the dangers of AI. If they're obviously wrong a lot of the time, in the long run they'll do less damage than they could by being subtly wrong and slightly biased most of the time.

It's quite something. They want complete authority to order any providers of information services they choose (probably including your ISP, maybe not including your lemmy instance but who knows) to implement or install any new features or devices they come up with (to be determined) in order to spy on the users and give the data to CSIS on demand.

Along with a dozen other things that have nothing to do with border security.

They didn't come up with all this shit in the past month. It's a laundry list of insane things that someone in Public Safety wanted but knew they couldn't get away with ahead of an election.

To counterbalance the dryly pragmatic lack of enthusiasm for software freedom shown in this article, here's another bit of writing from a recent covert to linux with fewer technical details but a more emotionally satisfying approach: https://alisonwilder.com/not-the-linux-audio-post-you-want/

It's in Ubuntu, but if you go to the OBS website it doesn't mention that and tells you to use their PPA instead.

  3. reinstalls entire operating system.

Yep, definitely a Windows user. One who would go out of his way to use actual Google Chrome rather than Chromium. He seems to be starting to catch on, by the end of the week. I wonder if he'll keep going.

Canadian government employees still lag in returning to physical workplaces, and this needs to be rectified if the government is to maximize professionalism

This non sequitur was the point at which I suddenly felt my suspicions of the writer being full of shit completely validated.

A mysteries graphic of sea surface temperatures is the kind of clickbait I fall for, apparently. As it turns out, a is the observations, b and c are from the models they're evaluating, referred to as AMOC- and AMOC+. d e and f are similar for salinity instead of temperature.

Looking at SST anomaly maps you often see it a bit lower in that region, but I didn't realize the "hole" was so strongly apparent in the observations.
