This was happening long before Covid.

I had ordered a SIM from them, then threw it in the drawer and promptly forgot about it. I'm going to see if I can find that again, thanks for the reminder.

We can't all be perfect.

I wish there was something like RES where you hover the community name in the list item and it pops up a frame you can choose Block on.

Aaaand... it's gone.

Now it's back.

Now it's gone.

This is why I have a lemmy.ca login too.

I'm of two minds on this; the Cons would seem to support business at the detriment of the Canadian public, so offshoring would bolster profits of these businesses and therefore desirable to both sides. But Canadian conservatives seem to have a healthy distrust of the CCP, which doesn't seem to be so big of a hot button for the Liberals, especially give the high support they enjoy from immigrants, which are largely Chinese. So it could go both ways. Obviously the CCP have latched on to the Liberals, but I actually think they could make more inroads more easily by greasing the Conservatives financially and by making it easier for Canadian firms to do business in China.

Both parties are schizophrenic when it comes to the Chinese. I think when it comes to getting elected (the primary driver of the LPC), they'll publicly support China, but when they're in power they'll do what they can to keep them down in the interests of Canadians.

The CSIS documents reveal that the campaign’s primary goals were to ensure that a minority Liberal government was returned in 2021, and to defeat Conservative politicians considered to be unfriendly to Beijing.

So I'd say decidedly "anti".

Does anyone know of a Canadian provider that offers an IOT data plan for multiple SIMs that share the data pool? I have a pile of telemetry devices I'd like to move to LTE with minor data needs per month each, but I need a low monthly cost per device with a shared data pool of like 5GB.

I've never understood why women support the Church in the droves that they do. It's mainly women keeping Catholicism alive despite being treated like shit for more than a thousand years.

Man, I hate Meta with a passion, but it's hilarious watching the slow motion train wreck this amateur-hour legislation has become.
