They should focus on restoring public funding to postsecondary schools, tightening future foreign student quotas and shutting down diploma mills.

"They" (the Federal government) can't focus on two of these three since education is the domain of the provinces, and they've already tightened student visa numbers.

On that note, considering the original engines are similar I wonder if OpenRCT2 and OpenLoco have any big similarities in the code base as well…

Probably! From the About OpenLoco page:

The OpenLoco project started in early 2018 by the same group of people behind OpenRCT2.

Even then, "locked away for life" seems pretty extreme.

I would say the pick one is more of "Liberal arts institution" and "rural Kansas".

Both qutebrowser and Falkon run on the QtWebEngine, essentially Chromium.

While it would be much better if net neutrality was legislated, this flip-flop isn't a complete loss.

  1. Even if this change is only temporary, it still improves things for that time.
  2. Businesses don’t like having to change back and forth based on Federal policy. Even if congress can’t pass net neutrality, many businesses will give up if they have to adjust every 4-8 years.

But if you paddle a little bit on the left side, then paddle a little bit on the right side, you keep going right down the middle.

Ummm...That's not how your supposed to paddle a canoe. I know this is just an analogy, but if you have to say, "It's just an analogy, stop taking it so literally," it's not a very good analogy!

For anyone who might not know, only amateurs rely purely on switching sides. Even novices taking their first lesson will be taught the j-stroke so they don't waste time switching sides constantly. I wonder if this analogy could be extended to the j-stroke and the energy wasted by constantly switching sides?

In Canada, there's a box you can tick on your taxes to pass along your info to Elections Canada. Not sure how hard this would be to implement as well.

At no point does the article claim it is "the first degoogled android".

The two laws really aren't the same. With the Australian law, a last minute amendment allowed digital platforms and news publishers to directly negotiate deals, which is when Facebook "backed down." The Canadian law imposes a specific link tax

TBF, we also had millennia of historical civilization in Canada but something happened...
