My main preference for preferring French’s is that it at least tastes less sweet than Heinz. Why does Ketchup need to be so sweet? It’s beginning to get harder and harder to find anyway, at least where I am.

What actual Canadian alternatives are available for someone in Ontario that isn’t a sugar bomb?

How would this store afford to pay its employees, rent and utilities if it only sold things at cost? One store alone would also make no difference, you’d need a chain of many stores.

lol, cops enforcing road safety laws? Good luck with that

I’ve been using a self-hosted Jotty instance, it’s been pretty great!

I know you’re talking about self-hosting everything, but to OP’s point at least 1Password is a Canadian company.

Everyone loves to hate on Toronto, right? I’m sure no one in your town would have concerns hosting the World Cup, yeah?

That much money and still our streets and highways are lawless

What’s a ‘TFW’?

What is your realistic suggestion on how they should react? If it involves them dying, or losing their jobs and healthcare? Would you be willing to risk those as an individual?

You call them cowards, but don’t give any meaningful suggestions on what they could realistically do.

My theory - OP’s roommate ratted him out to the police, prompting this rant and made up facts.

What is your alternative non-folder solution?

I’ve been using Tumbleweed for almost a year now, and have had a great experience! Zypper is fine; cnf is a helpful utility that things like Debian / Fedora could certainly use (I know they have ways of searching too, but cnf is so simple).

OPI has everything I’ve needed for 3rd party apps, so no complaints there.

When I first installed Tumbleweed it was on an HP Elitebook, which gave me some grief with audio before I figured out a workaround, but after installing it on an X1 Carbon I can’t imagine using anything else for the foreseeable future. (It’s still installed on the Elitebook, I just never power it on any longer).

All this to say, your experience hasn’t been great for you but for me it’s been fantastic. I run Debian on the self-hosted servers I run, but on my main machine Tumbleweed has been fantastic for me. I don’t even use or like YaST :D

I find your comment is a bit off-putting as well - how would you respond if I said ‘NEVER USE ARCH’? My take is - tell people about your experiences, and let them decide for themselves. Why are you still using Tumbleweed if you’re ‘so against it’?

I can confirm it’s not working - I received the same message @human did.

gfx.webrender.compositor.force-enabled is not mentioned in the article at all - while they don’t mention the specific setting annoyingly, they do mention ‘layer compositor’ so it should be gfx.webrender.layer-compositor.

It would help saying what province you’re in since selection will vary wildly.

If you can, check out Ungava gin. It’s a good price and made in Quebec.

What do Canadians have to do with European tech sovereignty? Why are you trying to hijack this thread?

And for Canadians, what realistic alternatives are you suggesting for everything you’ve listed?

If you want to be taken seriously, start by proposing an actionable plan.

directly addressing Canada’s growing driver shortage

There’s not a driver shortage, there’s a livable wage shortage.

Fedora works with secure boot, it shouldn’t need to be disabled.

Do you have more than 1 disk in the computer? Either way, check bios for a disk setting called Intel RST. If you see that, change it to AHCI, save and reboot.
