It used to matter more, back when cold booting was way more common, and leaving your computer on was way less common, and people didn’t have a computer in their pockets for most computer tasks.

Kinda like how boot time on smartphones used to matter because people had to restart them fairly frequently.

When there is a thing you want to do, and you have to wait for a a stupid machine to get ready before you can do it, it sucks.

It was great. Kinda like sunny D, but less cloyingly sweet and more refreshing iirc (it’s been a long long time). A mix of fruit juices, but mostly orange.

I mean, that probably depends on the country, right? Tbf I don’t know much about them.

The point simply is that Canada isn’t especially left. We can’t be, since we’re joined at the hip to the USA.

Sometimes I get kinda pedantic.

When i joined the fediverse I decided to make a break from my old usernames.

Canada is just America but 2 election cycles behind. We’re very similar politically, most of the left leaning appearance is just lip service, not policy. Look at how we continue to treat indigenous peoples.

I don’t think that UBI is the predominant reddit viewpoint either - I think that’s just the subs you’re in.

I’m Canadian too, and I certainly don’t consider reddit as left of center on average. It’s almost like 4chan lite.

But on that note, if you’re looking for Canadian instances, there are a few good ones.
The obvious one is lemmy.ca, but the other (bigger?) one is sh.itjust.works which is bilingual and I think is québécois.
Presumably a Canadian instance would have relatively Canadian political leanings, although as has been said before, instance doesn’t really matter.

The instance you’re on only matters in so far as which other instances they’ve defederated.
You can probably find more centerist instances, but it doesn’t really matter because your friend is probably just going to be in the same communities anyways.

I’m not really sure I’d call reddit left of center, though.

Just learned it was made by the Clearly Canadian folks. I suspect that I wouldn’t like it as much anymore.

Beep, however, I imagine I’d still love.

That and Beep are on my list.

I suspect that I wouldn’t actually like Orbitz now that I’m an adult and not impressed by little colorful blobs in my drink

Beep

Also Orbitz, but I feel like that wouldn’t stand the test of time

Just learned its by the makers of Clearly Canadian, which would be on my list, except it came back as of a couple years ago.

He exposed himself as a poser especially as a bash programmer

The confusion is an affectation they’re putting on because the execution of the joke is just so poor.

I especially love that he didn’t say where he was running rm -rf and I like to believe it’s from root, so he lobotomized himself.
