I remember when I wanted Mozilla to do that, since they had the organizational might, the money, and it fit perfectly with their mission when they created mozilla.social. On the one hand, it seems slightly less ideal to have the same organization that develops mastodon also providing hosting for it. On the other hand, they probably have a better chance of doing it well.

Did you know that there was no oxygen in earth's atmosphere until a couple billion years ago, when some mischievous bacteria started pumping it out all over the place? It was called the oxygen catastrophe, and all that poisonous oxygen gas in the air is thought to have led to the evolution of many new things such as nuclear envelopes and sex. I like to remember it once in a while.
The FCC does for example prohibit "obscenity" — not profanity — on cable. No doubt it is mentioned somewhere on their website.
I still have a laptop with a tiny shrunken Windows partition on it in case I need it for some reason, but I've not actually booted it since installing debian. I can't be bothered to figure out how to clean up the bloat, disarm the telemetry, avoid the online MS services, block the ads, dodge the bugs, wait for the updates, get used to all the various stupid ways the UI has changed since the win XP I was familiar with, et cetera.
Using Windows these days is just way too much work, I don't know how anyone even does it.
They are the regulator for cable TV and therefore do regulate cable news shows. https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/cable-television
There was no recession in 2015.
Huh? That chart looks fine for Harper — the 2008 financial crisis really wasn't his fault — and quite bad for Trudeau, if we assume that it's accurate, that it's representative of something meaningful, and that everything else that happens in Canada is to be blamed on whoever's prime minister at the time. I'm guessing it's that last assumption that might be wrong and the break into a downtrend in 2015 started as a result of something that changed a few years earlier, but who knows.
I habitually throw random spelling and grammatical mistakes into my posts and comments all the time, to make it less likely that anyone can fingerprint my writing style and thereby dox me. That is the only reason for any such errors.
Canadian Tire gets to be associated with a brand known for being not Canadian, and Tim Hortons gets to bask in the warm glow of a giant big-box retailer known for selling plastic lawn furniture. Synergy!
Politics has come down to a contest between two teams: One team thinks we're on one team and they're on the other, the other team is people who don't know there are supposed to be teams.
Weird that the man assumes those images were chosen to target him, but horrifying that he might be right.
