I also work with Canadian companies, mainly on their taxes where it's almost exclusively Tax Year 2025, Fiscal Year 2025, etc.

The idea that Nazi sympathisers were a fringe group is an vast oversimplification of history. Yes, America chose to fight against the Nazis, but there were huge racist/eugenist movements at the time that included high-ranking politicians and military personnel. Look up the America First movement for just one example.

I first learned about this from the podcast ULTRA. I kept having to check their sources and do further research, because what they said sounded so wild that I felt I should have already known it. Instead it's just another example of people not wanting to teach their uncomfortable history like the Tulsa race massacre, Indian residential schools in the US and Canada, the Tuskegee syphilis study, etc, etc, etc.

Also, I'd suggest you learn about the history of Nazi Germay. The Nazis weren't this huge supermajority of the German population, they just had people in the right positions, took power by force, and the populace went along with it. It's not hard to see parallels with a lot of events in US history where if things went just a bit different the USA could have become a racist, authoritarian state.

Some do those split years, but I suspect you've seen many more that are just listed as the calendar year they end in, and you've just never noticed.

That's a defining feature of brain dead. Otherwise, they're just dead.

Mine updated just fine, so you're almost certainly experiencing a network/routing issue. I'd suggest you make sure your phone can ping/traceroute the repo and troubleshoot from there.

I too wish the developer would respond, but I don't think this is the catastrophe people are making it out to be. One comment seems to explain why these binaries are included:

Because ventoy supports shim, and by extension secure boot, these files needs to come from a signed Linux distro. In this case they are taken from Fedora releases, and OpenSUSE apparently, as they publish shim binaries and grub binaries signed by their certificate.

Because why not 🙂

Because security.

As a Canadian, I read 141 and thought, "141 km/h is pretty fast, but that's not international news fast." Then I saw it was mph!

Driving that fast on a closed course while sober with complete focus is dangerous. Yet this guy was drunk and texting on public roads.

“Sometimes mistakes happen," he said. "But I’m not a bad person.”

AFAIK, no mistakes happened, those were all choices. And by making those choices, yes, you are a bad person.

For each count of not paying the helper's salary no later than seven days after it was due, Wu could have been jailed for up to a year, fined up to S$10,000, or both.

Instead she received no jail time and one S$10,000 fine when there were dozens of counts.

The release doesn't say it's going FOSS. It doesn't specify, but it hints that it'll be "Source Available". Stuff like:

Winamp will remain the owner of the software and will decide on the innovations made in the official version.

I know this seems like Niantic is free-loading, but this is intentionally-allowed by the ODbL license and honestly, might be a good business decision even without considering the licensing fees. OSM is almost 20 years old and as a community led project, is probably more predictable and stable than a Google license which could change drastically from one contract to the next.

As a OSM contributor, I'm more than happy to see my work used this way, and as @QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world pointed out, OSM has seen a lot of benefit too.

He argued it’s easier for customers to “point fingers” at grocers like Loblaw than at other players in the supply chain or global factors leading to higher prices.

Given Loblaws has control over a lot of that supply chain and has record profits over the last few years, so...
