Not that Canadians can currently reasonably afford beef. Prices are insanely inflated.

Denouncing accomplishes nothing. It’s the “thoughts and prayers” of politics.

Slavery isn’t illegal in the US under the US constitution specifically if you’re convicted of a crime. The anti slavery amendment specifically allows that loophole. Not sure why people think slavery was abolished there, when all that actually happened were a change in the situations allowing it.

The 13th amendment to the US constitution says this: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

That’s hardly why. More like many Canadians don’t want to go and visit/financially support an actively hostile country with a leader that repeatedly talks about annexing them.

People here going to US to snowbird are kind of considered some low end tier of traitor by many, in fact.

I’m fairly certain a big reason behind Amazon doing this is that older kindles make it trivial to pirate kindle unlimited books. Check out 20, move them off the reader into calibre, decrypt, return the books, get 20 more, etc.

(And before anyone says that the drm removal doesn’t work on kindle unlimited books, that check is two lines of python to fix.)

Yes, they recently shot a video together.

This isn’t awful advice, but used Pixel prices are vastly out of whack with used prices from just about any other android manufacturer. On Amazon I can currently buy a refurbished Galaxy S25+ for $300 less than a refurbished Pixel 9 Pro XL - when the Pixel is a worse phone by every metric but its ability to run GOS.

Also, in some markets (US I believe? I think its a company called Verizon that does this) Some pixels just cannot be OEM unlocked, at all. So that’s also a risk buying used online at least - there’s usually not a way to tell if you’d be getting one of those if you live in a market that has this fucked up “feature”.

That’s stupid. Nothing stops you from just installing regular Ubuntu if you love snaps so much.

Wait why the hell is lemmy.world federated with Meta anyways? That seems… stupid?
