I am furious with the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA). Again. Watch or read: twp.ai/9OZoCV I logged into CRA today and happened to notice an announcement about a class action settlement involving a Government of Canada privacy breach. FYI, 2 of my 4 my parents were affected. 1/14

The most important aspect of the deal to open the bridge -- and what's conspicuously absent from this story -- isn't the terms of the agreement. It's that the US government interfered in a done deal to extort further concessions. So, no. This is not a "good deal" for Canada. It's a portent.

Lindsay Graham was a product of his environment, his conditioning and his testosterone and dopamine responses that resulted in a person capable of personal kindness but cruelty to those he never met in service of his perceived reward. So, shitty to a lot of people but a lot like many others.

Every time you hear a conservative demand “neutrality”, know that they want favoured treatment for their entirely discredited and unsupported beliefs. And to eventually prohibit opposing views. Yet centrists fall for it over and over again.

So this has driven me nuts. If you set Default File Associations via Group Policy (I assume Intune policy as well) it is so slow to apply. It does appear Microsoft starts applying it asynchronously, but will block logons until it completes.
