It's a great technocratic move: disregard reality and instead focus on finding experts who will say what you want instead.

I think almost every admin has seen some very weird reports in the last week.
Maybe it's time for the big Tech refugees to go back where they belong. They clearly want to have the power to report anything that makes things feel remotely weird in the pants.

I really really really wanted to be ready, but it's not ready.
But for whatever it's worth, when I bought my first Android phone, that wasn't ready either. I think Linux is more ready now than Android was then.
At some point in the near future I would like to pick up a pine phone pro to see if additional hardware can be thrown into the problem. I tried the Nexus 5 and pine phone, and neither one of them can really drive the software well enough.
I will say that there are some non-standard forms of Linux that are much closer. The Ubuntu phone is basically usable at this point, but it's sitting in an evolutionary dead end since it doesn't share the ecosystem with the rest of Linux. Same with sailfish which worked pretty well.
For me, so Way Forward is going to be Linux on phones running xorg or Wayland so that in addition to specialized applications designed specifically for smartphones, you also get the entire catalog of Linux applications that will run on whatever architecture the phone is.

I cannot believe that I have to tell people this: If somebody stabs you with a spear, you do not end with a vagina on your chest, you end up with sucking chest wound. They're quite dangerous, you will likely die.

I've been really getting a kick out of seeing these old games getting the raytracing treatment.

A government that doesn't respect the rule of law will find ways to make their will work.
Oh look, an ad for my book. Well, guess the CRTC can send thugs in to kick my servers off the wall.

1. You want us to support current thing.
2. You say everything is political.
3. You say that because everything is political, to not enthusiastically support the current thing is to oppose, because "you're either with us or you're with the terrorists"
4. Therefore we are npcs because your philosophy tells us we oppose everything by default because we don't automatically agree with current thing.
Checks out.

This is the Trudeau government. They don't respect human rights, and they will incorrectly use any law that comes even close to silence any dissent.
Besides, I'm not using facebook or twitter. I'm using my own website, hosted on my own hardware. Why should the CRTC get any say in what I have on my own website or the order I display it in? How is that not interfering with my right to speak, or my right to listen to my users?

There are multiple pieces of legislation. Bill C11 is an internet censorship bill that is different than Bill C13 the "paying for links" bill.
Handing control of censoring the Internet to the CRTC is effectively nationalizing the Internet, bringing it under direct control of the federal government.
I'm not sure if I'll be continued to be "allowed" to run any of my websites under this new nationalized Internet.

There is a big difference between self-hosting and hosting elsewhere: You are in full control. If you want to defederate from someone, go ahead. If you want to federate with them, go ahead. If you want to have a color scheme nobody else has, go ahead. If you want special features, your own special emoji, special rewrite policies, or whatever else you want, it's all within your power.
