You could probably build something decent for CAD$1000. Canada computers often have massive discounts on a lot of items. US$700 to CAD$1000 is not that far apart. The console would probably still be more performant but the point is, the prices are not that far apart anymore.

She has a happy and proud look on her face. Good for her!

We sure have a lot of interesting people in Ottawa don’t we?

A much needed feature gets released quicker than usual for the benefit of users and they complain about broken faith? They could have just delayed the release until they tested it thoroughly. Using that kind of wording makes me feel they’re just in for the drama.

This reminds me of someone else who didnt get to pursue a career in arts and instead tried to destroy the world.

Thank you.

Some form of stable, modernized bluetooth stack would be nice. Every other bluetooth update breaks at least one of my devices.

I have a Surface Pro 9 and it runs like a charm. I would recommend it even if it is a little pricey

I practice a mental exercise to see if I am implicitly being biased. I usually substitute the blamed party for someone else who already has a good or bad reputation to see if I would treat them the same way, if not then I am being biased and I correct my behavior. Applying that here, if we substitute Israel for North Korea or Syria for instance. Would the international community believe them if they bombed such an important NGO and then said “woopsie!”? The frequency in which neutral parties are being bombed is astonishing and if Iraq or Syria have done that, half the world would be considering imposing strong sanctions or even invading. The fact that we let someone off the hook so easily because we have an initial positive attitude towards them is bias and I would expect better from today’s educated world. In my opinion, Trudeau’s response should have been harsher.

Direct to Consumer, I think?

According to this https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/issues/1113 TLP is one of the culprits but I would rather the boot sequence and wake up from suspend process hang than uninstall TLP. Without it, intel boost keeps overheating my tablet and the battery becomes shit.

It is happening to me too on my surface tablet. Do you have TLP installed? Just out of curiosity

Path of Exile doesnt support Linux either and they are both rated gold on Protondb

I have had it installed for a while and I check it after every update. I can’t use it yet as my daily driver because of scaling issues. The desktop scales properly but windows do not. Fonts are too small and the cursor is tiny. I figured out how to scale the cursor manually but I couldnt scale the windows.

There is also Niri, a compositor that is inspired by PaperWM

I have a Microsoft Surface tablet and Fedora with GNOME works pretty well on it. I usually use a stylus or the magnetic keyboard with it but when I do use the touch screen I dont encounter issues. I use PaperWM on top of GNOME and it makes it all so easy to use.

As an immigrant, I can concur. What I thought Canada would be and what it turned out to be are very different things. I’m not happy with the financial stress nor with how my international experience is not taken into consideration when applying to jobs. I am an undesirable candidate. I was lucky enough to find a job that is somewhat similar to what I used to do but my partner is restarting his career just to make money. At the end of the day, we barely make ends meet because rent is so expensive. Just to get an apartment we had to go through hell because we have no credit score and we couldnt afford to pay 6-12 months in advance. I generally felt unwelcomed.
