I really hate what this ~~country~~ world has become.

Fixed it for you, although I wish it weren't so. This crap is going on everywhere, not just in Canada. The only countries not affected seem to be those that were already at rock bottom.

You're assuming that those currently holding the shares will sell. But in all fairness, per Wikipedia, a generous chunk of RBI is held by a Brazilian investment company, and former Tim Hortons shareholders still hold some shares, so somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 American-owned? Which still isn't great.

A contributing factor may be the number of American car companies with factories here—I mean, there are a few European/Japanese/whatever auto brands that do some manufacturing here too, but not as much. It's an industry that seems to have a political voice that's larger than its contribution to the national economy (or at least, that's the impression one gets from the news here in Ontario). Lobbying to tweak the rules to make certification easier for American vehicles than others seems on-brand.

If that is part of the reason, Trump may have torpedoed it, but it'll take years for the mess to untangle itself even so.

The only explanation I've been able to come up with is that "shocked" is currently a fad word in journalism, like "unprecedented" was during the pandemic, and it's being overused and used inappropriately. I think most of us are just disgusted by the whole situation, and by Trump's antics in general.

That acronym has been putting me off Mexican food lately.

Providing a package, if he did so, was his choice. No one at the distro asked him to (some users may have, but that has nothing to do with the distro or its other users). If you provide the package of your own volition, you should expect that there will be complaints if it doesn't work as expected. You need a procedure (and a certain amount of saved-up mental fortitude) to deal with them.

If someone complains to you about someone else's buggered-up packaging job, the correct thing to do is have a prewritten reply set up saying, "Nothing to do with me, complain to the other guy." Then close the bugs as WONTFIX and get on with your life. And see if the package host has a removal policy for broken packages, if it is genuinely broken and not just clueless users messing up.

To me, this specific case seems like the dev wasn't prepared for what the open Internet is like, couldn't handle it, and imploded messily. Are the users that got on his nerves at fault? Yes, on one level, but their existence was also entirely predictable. If you know what you're doing, you factor the existence of these people in when you decide whether you're willing to release your software to the public or not and what communication channels you should leave open.

I don't think you quite understand how this works. No distro ever asks third party programmers to create packages for them—that's the job of the distro's own team, or of enthusiasts using the distro. All the distro packagers want or need from the original programmer is the source code and enough documentation to get it to compile. They take it from there.

You can just about see Marie wondering when the carriage is going to turn back into a pumpkin in that one scene.

The dog outperformed the quantum computer despite not having any notion of what a number was, so I think any human could manage. Possibly including dead and/or unborn humans.

Did Unuki-sama possess Hikaru’s body because the boy wished for someone to stay by Yoshiki’s side or did it have its own reason?

Why not both? It might have its own agenda but still appreciate getting a body it didn't have to fight for.

Since clamav itself shows no signs of vanishing, this frontend going away might add a bit to the friction some people experience in using it, but the software itself wasn't that noteworthy. The treatment of the developer, though, was just wrong.

The usual way: by being loudly obnoxious.
