USA is dead. Move on.
He’s also Canadian :(
Who is Canadian?
Musk
He is from South Africa.
He has Canadian citizenship, sadly.
Don’t care if he payed for citizenship, he can suck my ass
Yes but he also has Canadian and American citizenship
Fucking asshole billionaires collecting citizenships and then doing everything they can to avoid paying taxes to any of the countries they are citizens of.
Parasitic pieces of shit
No he’s not, are you smokeing crack?
Ryan Gosling needs to launch Gos Link.
Sounds funny in French Canadian though. Testes Link.
Reminds me of the E-tron, which means turd in French.
The advertising practically writes itself!
I feel like he’s even more down for it now
Lol I had no idea. So maybe a dating app instead eh?
It’s slang. In Canada ‘gosses’ (pronounced goss singular or plural) means testicles. In France, it means ‘kid/child’. There’s lots of jokes about that when a French visitor says they brought their ‘gosses’ with them.
WTF happened to NORTEL and RIM and ATI and our awesome tech industry that LEAD the world 20 years ago?
WE EDUCATED ELON
WTF?!?
RIM: fell to Apple marketing and Samsung sleek fragility. Their last phone introduced features google and Apple are still creeping out some 15 years on.
Nortel: Fell to Harper’s desire to make Canada a US colony as well as the CPC bot doing anything to stop the CCP from stealing everything the company had. In particular, Nortel developed 5G tech that China then “premiered”
RIM fell to dingbat leadership who refused to heed market trends until it was well beyond too late.
Source: I own a black t-shirt with BE BOLD in lettering on the front. IYKYK.
Amen. RIM died by suicide.
They insisted on a closed app ecosystem. Not just a walled garden, fully locked down potted plants and they’re the only ones allowed.
How accurate is the BlackBerry movie?
It’s a pretty good movie
They also wanted to keep charging huge monthly fees for….email.
Seriously there was once a plethora of sats available and it seems like the whole approach dried up.
Nortel moved to North Carolina then slowly went to shit.
RIM could not get their shit together to develop an OS to support apps. Then went to shit and now makes software for refrigerators.
As with most of our successful industries, they don’t get any grease since they always seem to be working properly and cheerfully printing out money. Meanwhile we’re busy chasing all the other squealing gears in our economy instead of focusing on what currently works, and we don’t feel like it needs our attention. So we let our attention drift (or be directed) elsewhere, while thieves, saboteurs and vulture capitalists around the world quietly dismantle it and part it out, leaving an empty shell that looks like it’s still working but it’s all an illusion projected from afar and there’s nothing left inside. It’s all gone. Then it collapses, and we assume it must’ve been a scam all along, and tell ourselves we were just deluding ourselves that we could ever actually compete on the world stage, and we tell ourselves that being the world’s 10th largest economy, depending how you count, is just because we sell off all our resources and we’ve really got nothing else to offer the world.
And it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as we are then unable to provide high-skilled jobs for our well-educated workforce, and they leave to seek jobs in the places that gutted our industries in the first place, pretending it’s just the “free market”. Free to knife and murder the competition, yes, that kind of free.
But first they should move away from Microslop (most of the Government of Canada uses 365 or whatever). I was running MX checks on a bunch of agencies and seeing every agency using Microsoft for email. Before you say how hard it is to host your own email now a days one agency uses easydns, a Canadian host, the same one I use.
I mean it might be hard for individuals but something the size of the Canadian government it shouldn’t be an issue.
I would use peppycito@canada.gov
The government uses Microsoft Surface tablets running Microsoft Windows. They send Microsoft Word documents to each other in Microsoft Outlook through a Microsoft Exchange server, which then gets uploaded to Microsoft OneDrive to be shared with their department on Microsoft SharePoint. Then message each other over Microsoft Teams.
Microsoft owns the Canadian government.
Not so sure… AFAIK, the government’s email works, right now… Wouldn’t want another Phoenix-style fiasco right now.
I get why it should be done, I just don’t trust the way government IT projects are run these days.
Amen
It really isn’t that hard, especially if you’re going to pay someone a full-time salary to do it. I have self-hosted my whole email stack for like 20 years and nobody pays me shit. Granted it’s aggravating, thankless, and relentlessly under attack. It can’t be done with a typical home connection, and the process of properly configuring and securing it can mean dodging several large foot-guns (and some smaller, sneakier ones), but they’re well-known and well-documented and there are even testers for almost all of them. I don’t really recommend hosting your own mail server. It often feels like it’s not really worth it (it probably isn’t) but it’s isn’t hard per-se, particularly not for a corporation or institution, it’s just rather obnoxious.
I wanna say it was in 2020 that I decided to pull the plug and move my domain to a .ca address, I made the mistake of using hosthero as my host. I wanted to stop paying apple for their hide my email feature when the boycott the US thing started so I went to hosthero and saw what they could do for me, it was going to be considerably more expensive but I would get to make up my own scheme for emails. As I dropped US services and looked for replacements, I fell into the hobby of self hosting. I had myself a plan it was going to take me 3 months to do everything I wanted to do. I was going to be flexible and give myself 2 weeks if the one weekend was not going to be enough to setup my mail server once I got my static IPs, more than enough time I thought. I was having so much troubles getting my smtp working I had got the MX records all figured out and port 25 opened on one of my IP addresses, after I realized I was just going to pull my hair out if I was going to do it I looked into the email hosting at easyDNS as I had dropped hosthero because I could easily self host my simple blog already and I did not need to be paying HostHero so much, easyDNS offers a wild card option for email so I do not need to spend actual time creating a new email address.
Good. Fuck Elon Musk.
Sasktel is already in bed with Starlink (under the SK Party leadership), will they be forced to unplug?
Don’t worry Mark Carney will let him do as he pleases. Conservatives always support fascists.
Telesat Canada launches in December. This has been in works for years.
