A typical bike-riding leftist urbanite who also happens to be a hockey-crazy Western Canadian.
Yes. In Alberta, especially in the central/northern region, the time change doesn’t serve any particular purpose. Our daylight hours are very long in the summer and very short in the winter, so changing the specific time the sun rises and sets hardly makes a difference.
Personally I prefer standard time over DST, and I think a lot of people here share that opinion. We probably would have switched over years ago if our government had any shred of competence.

At least with the Conservative floor crossers, you can see how they would get the idea of Carney maybe helping advance their ultimate goals. But this does not make sense to me. The way Carney is governing is pretty much at odds with Avi Lewis-type policy.
All of this seems impossible to enforce in the FOSS ecosystem. People can just fork the software and remove any restriction they don’t like. That’s kind of the whole point of free software. Users are free to use their devices however they like, including in ways that are not intended by the devloper.
And the address space is big enough you can choose a new random address between every connection to avoid tracking.
It pisses me off how this is the second time Danielle Smith’s party is going to get bailed out by a war.
They’re terrible at running the province 99% of the time, but the moment it seems like the consequences might finally catch up – nope! The price of oil jumps and everyone says “oh yeah, I guess they’re doing fine,” and stops paying attention again.
Subscribed/New most of the time, but I check All/Active every once in a while to see if there’s any drama going on.
Sometimes I’ll hit All/Scaled when I’m really desperate.
Wow, someone should tell the City of Edmonton about this. Last year they eliminated physical parking machines in the city, and there is a QR code on basically every parking sign now. I wonder if anyone considered how vulnerable QR codes are to these imitation scams.
I assume they already have active countermeasures in place, but then again, online-only street parking seems rather ill-conceived to begin with.
This is what happens when you dignify a ridiculous demand with any sort of serious response. You get more ridiculous demands.
And honestly, if we’re talking about the last 20 years, maybe the US should be paying us for all the times we got dragged into one of their idiotic wars.
Trump done pissed off the cowfolk! If Calgarians are mad about this, just think how mad the rest of us must be lol
To add a tiny bit of technical detail here, vanilla Arch enforces support for x86_64 v1, meaning all software available in the Arch repos is built to not use any cpu feature that didn’t exist in v1. Not a bad thing since it allows for support of older (64 bit) hardware, but it does leave like 20 years of microarchitecture advancement on the table.
According to the CachyOS website, they have repos with software built for v3 and v4 which can apparently juice your rig for an extra 20% performance.
