For many people, the #Linux vs #Windows vs #Mac debate is a privilege — it assumes you can choose. But working with the Computer Upcycle Project, I've seen the real choice is often Linux vs no computer at all.
~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines #Microsoft and #Apple called trash.
This isn't Linux vs Windows. It's Linux vs e-waste.
This is concerning:
“Carney’s display of his Catholic faith Tuesday stood in stark contrast with a heated debate about the value of state secularism that played out an hour later at the Supreme Court of Canada.
Where Carney quoted from the Gospel of Matthew and from Christ’s Sermon on the Mount to talk about the grace and generosity that politicians should channel, Quebec’s lawyers argued religious beliefs should not be on display by public officials, saying the state should be neutral, and public services delivered without signs of any religious belief.”
While we all know Quebec’s ‘secular’ law is really about maintaining the dominance of the Catholic Church and suppressing the right of anyone else to practice competing faiths, I’m more concerned about our sitting Prime Minister invoking religion as a guiding principle for governance.
This feels like an entry-point for Christo-fascism.
“Mark Carney invokes Christian values as top court told religious beliefs don’t belong in government”

On the same day Quebec vigorously defended its law promoting state neutrality and secularism in government, Prime Minister Mark Carney declared religious values can and should frame how politicians act.
Settings: Tried this time EurekaClaw, with Qwen 3.5 (35B) as main and Qwen 3 for fast surrogate, everything running locally. The HW is an AMD Ryzen AI 395+ (there is a "max" somewhere). Not the best performance per Watt, but I eyeballed less than 120W for less than an hour.
The resulting tex file was broken with 100 errors. Lazily I tried another local model to fix it. It was surprisingly long and adds to the power cost, but it worked.

Mark Carney is looking to eliminate personal #privacy from #Canada. The government will be able to demand anyone that provides electronic services (which includes anyone who has an email address) develop such tracking capabilities as the government may order and then demand that information with reasonable grounds to suspect any federal offence: https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/45-1/bill/C-22/first-reading
