A lot of those chairs are actually made by Leggett & Platt under white-label contract to Herman Miller, Steelcase, Haworth, Humanscale, Teknion, Knoll, Global Furniture Group, Kimball, etc. They come off the same assembly line, by the same workers, at the same Canadian factory, using the same raw and finished materials.
I can't say how I know for doxxing reasons, but I know.
New Canadian Prime Minister Carney orders review of F-35 purchase plans. This comes along with a whole lot of public comments about wanting much closer ties to Europe in general, and especially the EU. I really really really hate to say it, but given his experience in the European business world, he's probably going to be well-received by the European ruling class as a reasonably-trustworthy "one of us".
I felt dirty typing that. I wonder if he's bound for a Churchill-like role. A despicable scumbag for the his whole life, except for a brief period where his cutthroat instincts and his rabid nationalism were applied to fight a greater enemy.
Part of me hopes that the Yemenis have been keeping the really nice toys in reserve for a situation where an aircraft carrier is an especially easy target.
The big problem with XMPP is the X part - extensible. Any given XMPP client or XMPP server might support completely different extensions with different capabilities. For all Matrix's teething issues and quirks, at least it's a single standard that all servers and clients are supposed to adhere to instead of being a mystery puzzle box of "will my client do the same things my friend's client will do?" Also, the XMPP XML is nasty. It is not at all fun to implement.
That said, I do love how most XMPP clients have no problem with multiple accounts. I haven't found a Matrix client yet that can do that, and that's a dealbreaker for me.
It's certainly a handy tool. The trick is in manually filtering out the ones that use Google'd Android, instead of an AOSP version without any Google stuff. I was hoping someone knew a suitable phone off the top of their head. Most of the good recent LineageOS-compatible phones have an OLED screen and/or lack a microsd slot.
I'd bet good money that Ukraine would sooner lose Kiev itself than Odessa. Losing the former means moving government functions elsewhere. Losing the latter means getting landlocked between a lot of historical adversaries.
I operate under the assumption that anyone in a job that required the approval of the US senate to get that job is a total scumbag. Maybe there's a few decent ones that slip through but that's my default position.
I'm looking to replace my engoogled android phone with something that doesn't require any sort of account with American companies. What's a good-value-for-money phone with a high-res non-OLED screen, microsd slot, radio compatibility with Canadian carriers, and is still android-based so that F-Droid-sourced apps work without tweaking? Easy rooting would be a bonus but isn't a dealbreaker. I'm willing to jump through shipping hoops if I need to order from (for example) a Chinese supplier.
Speak for yourself.
