Didn’t VirtualBox (owned by Oracle) decide they won’t support M-series Macbooks? Not sure if that ever changed, but it’s funny that Oracle Linux is simultaneously the best distro.

Didn’t Rogers spend $4.7B recently to acquire the rest of Maple Leaf Sports? They use every excuse in the book to do layoffs. Such hypocrisy.

My hope is that Translink's foray into real estate is the long term revenue generator that's needed to improve the service levels while the government focuses on expansion projects and major upgrades.

Thanks - that was one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while!

Is it better than the official client? The Bluesky app seems quite nice to me and I don’t see a need for a 3rd party client if you don’t crosspost.

You should also include the Kobo Clara Colour in that comparison to be comprehensive. What's the harm in buying one more gadget? 😉
