@govt_corrupt Census kept showing up to my empty next-door rental house last time. Some boomer with a clip board and a bad attitude. Didn't take my word for it that I owned it and nobody was over there, kept slow rolling through the neighborhood all week, trying to knock on my door every day.

Last time StatsCan wanted me to collect data for them, two census workers came to my door. I said I wasn't filling it out. They said I could be fined if I don't. I said I thought it was anonymous. How can you fine me if it's anonymous? They left. I never got fined. Fuck em.

@VConcatenation @valvesoftware You're are knee jerk reacting to a comment about steam machines, assuming it was about controller, and calling others idiots or retarded. You won't escape your own stupidity here.

Steam Controller ran out faster than we anticipated, and we hate that not everyone who wanted one was able to get it. We’re working on getting more in stock and will have an update on expected timeline soon.

@VConcatenation @valvesoftware How would I be a scalper by what I said? Steam Machine pricing is what people want, not the controller, not when it will launch. Just the pricing. I have a controller order. If I do decide to scalp it, I'll think of you.

@theartbookguy It depends on price. It is expected that no other "low end PC you can upgrade later" will offer the same price/performance, or offer the user simplicity of a turn-key console-like bespoke custom gaming appliance dialed in to the Steam ecosystem for the living room.

I made this point before, but a few pushed back. It's old hardware, so needs to be priced to reflect that, otherwise why not buy a low-end PC you can later upgrade? It might end up being like Apple products that are more expensive than other options, but fans pay up for the logo.

Valve’s new Steam Machine will probably cost $600 to $650, according to the well-known leaker Moore’s Law Is Dead. He says the basic 512 GB version is more expensive than he previously thought, because memory and storage parts have gotten way more expensive lately. He says if Valve charges over $700, it’s a bad idea and you’d get better value from a regular PS5 (which costs about $500–600 right now) or a similar gaming PC for around $700–750. For heavy Steam users, $600 could make it a smart buy. But if the price goes higher, most people would probably choose a PS5 for its exclusive games or a full PC that you can upgrade later. Valve hasn’t announced the official price yet. Back in the 2010s, their first Steam Machines didn’t sell well for the same reason.

@TheHillTimes We should endorse net neutrality and not ban anyone or push for any digital ID gate mechanisms. Preserving open competition and a free market digital economy. Protecting kids from boogeyman scenarios shouldn't infringe on de facto privacy standards.

@DestinLegarie Price will kill it or make it pure hype. It'll be closer to being DOA if above the PS5 and in prebuilt PC territory as they want to be, it'll be a hyped up console warrior flagship toy this holiday if they sell it at cost and even eat the memory price hikes.

@JJ_McCullough Boomers are nostalgic and daydreaming dementia adventures in the optimistic Canadiana crap built up by Trudeaumania 1.0. They have Beachcombers reruns playing between their ears while their middle aged kids are losing their jobs and sleeping on sidewalks.

There’s not really an easy way to explain this, aside from Canadian boomers being captive to a very strange and particular anti-American obsession that Carney is very good at pandering to. But it’s encouraging it doesn’t work on other age groups.

@Max86Jenson @JasminLaine_ @colewhogan Will we now impose trusted 3rd party "bank login" tokens for social media platforms? Will we be punished if we don't use a sanctioned tiktok rival, and go rogue on a shitty IRC server hosted from a junky old PC? Who polices this nonsense? Bureaucrats with axes to grind?

@JasminLaine_ @colewhogan Social media has been a thing since the 2000's especially with kids. This isn't new. We just haven't reacted appropriately as a society. In the education space and in general putting child safety at the center of our attention. Kids have a human right to safety.

Cole Hogan, a Conservative who has worked on election campaigns for Ontario Premier Doug Ford and former Alberta premier Jason Kenney, says he does not believe there would be “overwhelming” ideological opposition among Conservatives to a social media ban for kids, namely because “everyone looks at everyone else with their phone in their hands 24/7, and sees an overall societal negative.”

@Max86Jenson @JasminLaine_ @colewhogan Social media is vague description. Online forums & chat protocols have been around for 40 years. Kids have been using it the entire time. Granting any mechanism of surveillance to police this will necessitate age gating and digital ID. 3rd party token exchange that kills privacy.

@terrynewman Digital ID requirements gives surveillance state mechanisms to bureaucrats that will brow beat and punish political opponents for their personal biases. At best, online tracking of adults would become linked to 3rd party token sharing that could become insecure. Privacy will die.

@PierrePoilievre @jk_rowling Meanwhile, you're toying with age gating digital ID internet child-safety laws, that would firewall Canada from a free and open internet, and bring the horde of bureaucrats one step closer to a surveillance state mechanism they can use to brow beat and freeze bank accounts.

A nurse with a spotless track record gets fined and suspended for pointing out there are two genders, and for praising world renowned author & women's rights advocate @jk_rowling. This is authoritarian censorship. We must restore free speech and free thinking in a free country.
