chimera feels snappier too but in places where it makes sense
<sewn>
like the system shutdown and init services
<sewn>
browser startup is faster too partly because of all of the dbus garbage existing
<sewn>
if I were to guess it would be system flatpak
<sewn>
keep in mind the game itself is running in a flatpak
<sewn>
so maybe mesa or some shit like that

UAW is calling for a general strike :O
<dilyn>
my boys are at it again
<dilyn>
bend the capitalist pigs to your ironclad will lads
<midfavila>
you should check out what's happening here, dilyn
<midfavila>
we've had 3-4 major, major strikes in the past as many months
<midfavila>
the labour minister of trudeau's cabinet has busted every single one and it's to the point where major unions are calling for open defiance
<midfavila>
CUPW, the union that represents canada post workers, was the latest victim
<midfavila>
they went on strike late november and just got sent back to work a few days ago
<midfavila>
after being ordered to cease by the labour board. but there have been a bunch of complaints from the rank and file about complying, and other unions and community halls have set up picket lines outside facilities in lieu of CUPW
<midfavila>
the fed busted a simultaneous lockout and strike by both freight rail carriers, then they busted a dockworker's strike that was cross-country, then a steelworker's, and now this
<midfavila>
also
<midfavila>
trudeau's vice-prime and finance minister abandoned him earlier this week
<midfavila>
and now half of his cabinet and caucus are openly calling for resignation
<midfavila>
it's predicted trudeau's government will fall at the first sitting of the commons after they return from vacation, in february
<midfavila>
the bloc quebecois have pledged to vote him down, the tories ofc, and the NDP who have been the only ones supporting them just announced earlier today that they're going to vote non-confidence
<midfavila>
that means unless he suspends parliament when he gets back he can't do shit because he's in a minority government and can't fillibuster his way out
<midfavila>
that's ignoring the impact of trump's reelection and provocation of canada with his tariff threat
<dilyn>
> they went on strike late november
<dilyn>
yeah my friend lamented this fact to me because they sent me something right before the strike happened and it has been trapped in customs ever since lmfao
<midfavila>
or the escalating frequency and scale of demonstrations by community organisations on every side of the aisle across the country for the past year
<midfavila>
canada is honestly ready to implode
<dilyn>
> and other unions and community halls have set up picket lines outside facilities in lieu of CUPW

i predict a complete economic failure in the next ten years
<midfavila>
because boomers are too fucking stupid to realise that the second they try to retire by selling their artificially inflated houses, nobody is going to be able to afford it because they've been crabs-in-a-bucket'ing millenials and zeds for decades
<midfavila>
which is going to cause a cascading failure of the economy as mortgages are defaulted on en masse
<midfavila>
which is going to cause a run on revolving credit, which is mostly held by younger people who can't find work
<midfavila>
who are then going to default themselves
<dilyn>
the US' economy already took a hit -- my mom told me her 401k crashed 100k this month lmfaooooo
<midfavila>
and because the housing market is like 20% of canada's economy on its *OWN*
<dilyn>
lord have mercy
<midfavila>
which is 3-4x the entire oil and gas industry's gdp contribution by the fucking way
<midfavila>
the second the housing bubble bursts that's going to send the dollar into outright freefall
