Very proud and excited to vote in the NDP leadership race today!!
This is not the first time I've voted in a Federal leadership race... more on that later but first, my choices! I considered only voting for two people, but I ended up filling in all 5 choices.
#1: Tanille Johnston @…
#2: Avi Lewis @…
#3: Heather McPherson
#4: Tony McQuail
#5: Rob Ashton
Why?
You might ask why I would publicize my choices. I don’t expect others to of course. It is a privilege and a right in Canada to exercise your democratic choice freely and privately, but I also think there is value in knowing how others voted.
#1 why Tanille? #electoralReform and proportional representation myself, I didn't just want to pick my top two. I wanted to make a statement on each of these candidates an influence each one.
To be blunt, Heather is #3 because she is the middle-of-the-road candidate. She is an excellent representative as MP and has gathered the support of other MPs including my own, but while I would be OK with her leadership, I would see her as a continuation of the status quo, and that is not what the NDP needs as a party, nor is it what Canada needs as a country.
We desperately need a vigorous and clear alternative to the Centre-but-mostly-Right Liberals, and the MAGA-wannabe Conservatives. The only way to do that is to catch the attention of Canadians and inspire them. I am not sure that Heather has the ability to do that, and if we continue with the same leadership crew in the NDP, I am not confident that the policy choices will be strong enough to inspire and attract Canadians.
That is why Tanille and Avi are far better options.
#4 Why Tony:

Tony is the real deal. Honestly, I would have loved to rank him higher. He represents the true life blood of rural, socially progressive, environmentally aware, Canadians. You should go check out his platform. I am so glad that he was able to participate fully in the race and we need his voice in the NDP.
#5 Why not Rob?
I have been an active member in my Union for more than 10 years. Unionism is The Way. Rob is representing a division within the union movement that claims that working people can't have jobs if the environment is put first. This is a lie.
We need union leaders that look to the future and speak honestly to people. We need union leaders who are genuinely progressive, not ready to do the bidding of corporate masters to the benefit of a few.
Working people need honesty, and when an industry is on decline, a clear path to new, excellent, union, jobs!

Did another sanity check on the 2nd PC and installed The Alters which is an Unreal 5 game. My internet bill gonna be higher this month cause I apparently passed the cap limit (thanks for failing to send me the warning email Comcast) but whatever. Booted it, checked the settings (Epic, Native AA so the 1080p the display runs at) and loaded in.. to a buttery smooth 60fps.
So it's definitely something going on with The Last Caretaker. I have no idea what, tho. For some reason in game …

Reminder that iSH.app is a must-have for anyone trying to deal with large quantities of files in iOS. iOS is awful at dealing with large quantities (200 ) of files (or even a very large single file), using iSH for moving, transfering with rsync or even comrpressing them is a way better experience than trying to use Files App or any of the native stuff for this.
Just mount -t ios /mnt /mnt and choose the iCloud Drive folder you want to mount.
(Note that rsyncing the files and then compressing them in the destination will be way quicker than thew other way around due to the lack of JIT or actual virtualization, but either way iSH will be way better than Files App because it actually works instead of just failing, freezing and crashing all the time with no error message)
The iPad would be a really great device if they just let you unlock it and install an OS that actually works. My dream device for college would be an iPad with Apple Pencil but running postmarketOS or NixOS or something, plus Rnote or whatever for notes.
