Your media is on pillaging. So is Canada's media. Go listen to Carney's speech again - the man did not choose his words without caution. He said it was an attack, he said it was a war, he said Canada's existence was under threat and he even told you it was intentional - when you "write an agreement in pencil" it's because you INTEND to change it later. This isn't him saying "Americans don't keep promises" - he told his country we're out to eat Canada directly.
Your media lying to you
You need to understand that Carney isn't one of our nutjobs. The man is a banker, a high prince of neoliberalism - he doesn't exaggerate, he doesn't use metaphor, he doesn't fudge the facts to tell a good story (which doesn't mean he doesn't lie, but when he lies it's intentional and calculated) - the man knows words, and he knows decorum. It's his lifeblood.
Now good read his statement to the Canadian people again and keep in your head this guy would call WWII a "diplomatic disagreement."

Dear DuckDuckFedi,
Is there a way for me to share an application from my existing desktop session (from Windows 11) with someone remotely over the network, but ONLY a single specific application?
In particular, I'd like to be able to give someone remote control of my audio interface's mixing software while I'm performing, so someone else can work the board for me.
Imagine how much this software would cost now.

"This resolution therefore affirms that generative AI is neither exempt from nor subject to special rules beyond the standards already expected of Debian contributors. The responsibility for every contribution rests with the contributor who submits it, who remains accountable for its technical quality, legal acceptability, and suitability for inclusion in Debian."
Zohran Mamdani won the democratic nomination & centrist Dems endorsed Cuomo anyway.
Angie Nixon won the democratic nomination & centrist Dems are saying they would’ve spent millions on Vindman, but won’t on her.
Abdul El Sayed won the democratic nomination & centrist Dems are refusing to endorse and threatening to leave the party.
The anti-Black, anti-Arab, & anti-Muslim hate from the centrist “vote blue no matter who” Dems rivals that of MAGA fascists. We need to call it out for what it is.
Taking off into the unknown

@lzg it looks tough at first but once you start skittering it feels very natural.
It makes me so fucking mad when fascists and chuds are looking at the viking age, of all times, as some kind of example for cultural purity or some shit. Like wheeeere the hell do they even get this idea. As if the most interesting thing about that period wasn't the incredible amount of cultural exchange, syncretism and transfer of stories and traditions from Europe's northern Atlantic coast to the eastern Baltic to Normandy and beyond.
