$1k in maintenance is rather a lot.

That’s great news! Let’s hope Alberta doesn’t opt out.

That’s great news! I’ll have to make that change next time I login.

A Raspberry Pi will work as a Jellyfin server, but it will really struggle if it has to transcode any media.

If you want your Jellyfin server to be up and accessible at all times, I would suggest getting a second hand PC. I’m personally a fan of small form factor mini PCs. Anything with a 7th gen Intel processor or newer, with integrated graphics, will be able to hardware transcode anything but AV1.

Agreed. Terrible headline, but solid advice in the article.

That’s really too bad

Blackberry did all of that years before Apple. Sure, they didn’t have a touchscreen, but all of the capability was there.

I certainly prefer fewer and longer ad breaks, over several short ones, but this still sucks.

I’m personally happy with my taxes funding public services like CBC.

While you could argue that we get taxed a lot, and that our taxes are not always well spent, the average person receives a ton of value for the amount of money they put in.

While not FOSS, I do really enjoy Plexamp.

That’s a great question, and I can’t seem to find an answer. I got my information from stats Canada, but I can’t seem to find how they define a home owner.

I certainly agree. Seeing as all property values skyrocketed in the past few years, those whose homes are now worth $1 million only kept up with everyone else.

Seeing as over 60% of Canadians own their home, that means that the rise of property costs merely widened the gap between those that own and those who rent. While the rise of property costs certainly isn’t a good thing, those who own property realistically aren’t any better off than they were before.

Does anyone have some recommendations for some good games?

That looks to be a fake house that is used to hide some kind of city infrastructure. That would also make it a great place to put a hidden cell tower.

Unfortunately, yes.

Can you use PC Optimum points to buy gift cards? That’s a great idea!

I completely agree that children should simply be using family computers. Kids are much to young to understand proper internet safety.

You don’t usually have to ask someone if they’re being harmed by a person/substance/thing to see the negative effects it is having on their lives.

Socially media is already known to have negative impacts on adults. This means it WILL also have a negative impact on children and youth. Seeing as children and youth are even more susceptible to negative influences, due to their body and brain still developing, we need to protect them from what we can.

Even if kids are seeing worse things in their every day lives, that doesn’t make it okay to subject them to other less worse things.
