The Shopify CEO that's hated by a ton of people due to COVID layoffs and shuttering the Waterloo office? And the Financial Post, the magazine for rich people who still suck Elon's cock? Not very representative of "most Canadian businesses," IMO.

I have everything containerized (Podman) on my Debian PC and use Diun to check for updates and send notifications to a Discord server that I monitor. I do all of my updates manually so I don't update unless I have time to troubleshoot; if it breaks I still have the configs and data so I can delete the container and start over.

I also do monthly backups to cold storage (yeah, they should be weekly/biweekly but it's just personal data that I'm okay with losing). I don't use a RAID config or BTFS/ZFS like some do, so it's pretty easy to just set it and forget it. It really depends on what you're trying to do, how bulletproof it needs to be, and how you like to organize things.

Ooooh, do Ontario next! (Yes, I know who is in power... A man can dream.)

I'm willing to bet that the average Apex player is not a big enough nerd to even install Mint, the friendliest of distros, to cheat in the game. Linux accounts for what, ~2.5% of Steam users total? Come on.

Did they check if they have a state capitol? They probably don't need to if their country doesn't have states.

To tell you the truth, I don't rightly know. I'm in a spot right now where I've been learning Russian for about 2 months. I tried Busuu in 2016 to learn some basic German and Italian and really liked the approach, so I went back and it's roughly the same (with some noticeable negative changes to user feedback). I learned quite a bit in a short period of time and I like how it explains things (though it could be better/more comprehensive).

However, now I'm in the position where the lessons are too long so I feel pulled more towards Duolingo due to its short lessons and gamification, but Duolingo's approach doesn't help me learn very well. I thought paying for Busuu premium would help, so I did that and got an 80% off discount for the new year, but it barely adds anything of value. I ended up refunding the purchase since they have a 14-day money back guarantee.

Things have stalled for me because I really dislike using Anki. I have a few different courses downloaded that each include a workbook and a ton of audio clips, but it's a lot harder for me to sit down and do that kind of thing (I have ADHD). I really need to mix things up a bit, so I think I'm going to pull the trigger on listening to podcasts or maybe trying some YouTube lessons.

At least a few years. I switched to Linux a year ago and that was a huge consideration for me when choosing Debian over Ubuntu.

It may not have initially been chosen for its meaning, but on their website they do say this:

What Does "Kagi" Mean? The word "kagi" means "key" in Japanese.

You pronounce kagi in Japanese as ka-gi with a hard G. (Source: Wiktionary)

If it's a Japanese romanization (which it looks like, but idk for sure), it's almost certainly a hard G as in gator.

So much for "never again," eh? More like "whenever we feel like it" if trends in global hegemony are any indication.

He's a fan of China, just not right now. A trade war is more important to him. Not to mention Chinese AI just tanked the DOW a short while ago to the point that there's a bill trying to ban downloading DeepSeek R1.
