Because the Liberals who came before him were worse, and to those who keep voting for him, haven’t changed.

With that said even in the snap election the Conservatives weren’t as popular as duggie is thinking he is. Rural towns flipped Liberal though not enough of them.

The Ontario Liberal and NDP parties need to get their act together and start cleaning up since the last election the campaign on “we’re better than Dug” when dug was very popular with his hard stance on Trump

Yes RetroArch on steam.

I am going to play devils advocate right now and say the Canadian Government should not leave Xitter. Not because it isn't a cesspool, I deleted my profile ages ago. But I feel they should keep and continue to post on Xitter since if they stop they will allow others to control the narrative. And despite our views that we should support alternatives, Xitter is still insanely popular.

If the Canadian Government should do anything they should either make their own Social Platform (like their own Mastodon server), or move over to BluSky and use their old Xitter accounts as a Mirror. Where content and important messages are still posted, but discussion and replies are on the other platforms.

Eventually when Xitter implodes like other social media before it, then the Government already has established social media ready to go.

My anecdote for AI and coding is that it’s a good replacement for google searching, especially when you are learning a new language.

You need to understand the fundamentals first, but asking the AI how to do a task in C when you’ve only coded in JS is very helpful. It’s still wrong, but it’s not like Stack Overflow is more accurate.

Yes modern Windows is based on the NT Kernal. However to keep with compatibility with older programs, NT needs to be compatible with DOS. For most people they never saw the transition from DOS to NT, since it was quietly done with Win XP.

From a windows perspective Linux does 2 things differently which makes it more secure to Windows.

1. Like MacOS it doesn’t need antivirus software like Norton. Windows needs antivirus because DOS the OS windows is based on, had it where any program had access to anything. This is still sadly true even on Windows 11. Linux is Sandboxed, where instead of giving the program full access to everything, you just give it a sandbox with what it needs.

Unless you deliberately run a program as the admin of Linux (su or sudo), malicious code can just delete system32.

2. Linux’s is open source and while the desktop market share is tiny, there are a massive market in servers. As a result since there are a lot of eyes on the project if/when problems are found they are fixed quickly. I remember a time when a malicious actor was trying to add a backdoor into a library as a blob and it was caught.

Windows on the other hand is closed source, meaning if MS can’t find the issue, the only time it is found is when it’s in the field. To avoid downtime MS offers bug bounty programs for those who can find issues, rather than to let them exploit it.
