Shenanigans are afoot...

I'm interested in those headphones they have.

Just as daddy Putin ordered.

Yes they do. Every living thing does. Even plants do in their own way.

I keep Fish, shrimp, snails, and isopods and they all do too. Fish and shrimp actually poop quite a lot, especially the latter. I don't think I could ever eat shrimp after seeing how many turds those things produce.

Just be careful! Many decent double-edge blades have historically been made in Russia or the US, usually under licence of Gillette. I recommend Feather blades which are Japanese and premium quality.

That explains all the AI crap they've been chasing for a while now. They've been trying to juice up the value to make it look appealing to potential buyers because you can basically slap "AI" on anything and it instantly shoots up in value.

Discord is effectively dead if this goes through.

Well, I mean...

It's considerably better than "Redditor".

Not going to happen. Not for a long time. As much as we would want it to.

The phone market is brutally, viciously competitive and an outsider trying to jump in without Android or iOS is almost guaranteed to fail. We used to have numerous options from all kinds of companies that came with a variety of operating systems but each one fell to the duopoly.

People are glued to their phones and social media more than ever. I would expect an attempt to get them to move to a non-American mobile operating system and phone would fail very quickly. Blackberry did used to make their own line of phones that ran BB10 and they were excellent. Nobody bought them though, or at least not enough to justify their continued production. Even fewer bought the following Android-powered BB phones and eventually Blackberry pulled out of the market. The same story for Windows mobile phones.

There are plenty of options for non-American cellphones and I'm sure in the coming years we will see Canadian ones too. The problem is that they will almost certainly run Android which means American control over your data and feeds. Getting Canadians to accept a sacrifice in short-term phone functionality to regain digital freedom in the long run is a tall order.
