So the Canadian government is continuing to try to get rid of cash. Bill C-2, if passed, will make it illegal to donate $10,000 or more in cash or amounts totaling $10,000 or more in cash to any group. You can bet that they won't stop there, once they can have it set at $10,000 they can always lower it more and more and widen the scope beyond donations. I am willing to bet that donations to political candidates will be exempt, can't have the government misisng out on possible bribe sources. The JCCF has a petition for anybody wanting to sign against it. Regardless of whether you sign the petition I recommend contacting your MP and seeing where they stand on it and making sure they know that a vote hangs in the balance.

I was so happy with having Devuan back on my laptop that I decided to see about getting it onto my gaming desktop. In the past I could never even get the installer to launch for the testing edition and it needed that or higher to work with a newer GPU. I was shocked and happy when it worked and I got Excalibur installed and running. Couple minor hiccups such as having to manually install Pulse Audio and the Fuse libraries so that app images and audio would work but smooth sailing otherwise. Got Devuan 6, Open RC and Mate powering her to go with the Z690 board that uses Dasharo.

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
