  • This letter has to be one of the greatest rage-bait posts ever. Trump really know how to do it.

    the United States of America has agreed to continue working with Canada, despite Canada having financially retaliated against the United States

    Barely and only after he swung the first blow and started shit over nothing, yeah.

    the United States imposed Tariffs on Canada to deal with our National Fentanyl crisis, which is caused, in part, by Canada’s failure to stop the drugs from pouring into our Country.

    “In part” meaning less than a single percent. “Failure to stop” meaning a massive increase in border presence and fentanyl seizures.

    Instead of working with the United States

    See above, we implemented border security measures to appease the charade of Fentanyl being an issue.

    there will be no Tariff if Canada, or companies within your Country, decide to build or manufacture product within the United States

    Perfect! Let’s just make ourselves the States’ little bitch, completely reliant on them for everything and with no details on how much production we even have to move over so that he can just say we didn’t fulfill our part of the bargain whenever he wants. Why wouldn’t we do that? Jesus H Christ.

    Canada charges extraordinary Tariffs to our Dairy Farmers — up to 400%

    Two things, 1. tariffs to protect your local agriculture makes sense to not become reliant on other countries for food. 2. that “up to” is doing HEAVY lifting as those high rates are almost never in effect¹, so why do you even care. Oh right, you don’t care! This is all a sham.

  • Zen browser at the moment, it includes a lot of UI and UX tweaks that I was already trying to do via CSS and extensions in Firefox, but it does them a lot cleaner. Definitely an opinionated appearance though, won’t be for everyone but so far I am enjoying it. My only gripe has been that I can’t disable workspaces and keeping them active seems to keep a hidden tab open all the time, so closing a window always asks me to confirm “closing 2 tabs” even though I have 1 or none open.

    I previously was using Librewolf to disable Mozilla’s tracking, but after it wiped my browsing history and made some weird user agent change which broke almost every website I have given up on it. The extra bit of privacy wasn’t worth the headache, and the TOR-like defaults exemplify that it’s a more hardcore browser than I need. As far as I can Zen browser is about the same as vanilla Firefox for privacy issues, so not perfect but not as bad as Chrome.

    I refuse to use anything Chromium anymore, but I tried out a bunch of those as well some years ago. Vivaldi was my favourite for it’s features, but man whatever they did to tweak the UI resulted in a lot of bugs… I had weekly crashes on that browser over two different hardware setups.
