$ORIGIN(or equivalently${ORIGIN}) This expands to the directory containing the program or shared object. Thus, an application located in somedir/app could be compiled with
gcc -Wl,-rpath,'$ORIGIN/../lib'so that it finds an associated shared object in somedir/lib no matter where somedir is located in the directory hierarchy. This facilitates the creation of "turn-key" applications that do not need to be installed into special directories, but can instead be unpacked into any directory and still find their own shared objects.

I like Ed, but not a fan of this style of teasing. Reminds me of conspiracy theory communities. We'll see what he has I guess.
The Luddites didn’t hate machines. They were gifted artisans resisting a capitalist takeover of the production process that would irreparably harm their communities, weaken their collective bargaining power, and reduce skilled workers to replaceable drones as mechanized as the machines themselves. Their struggle has been tragically warped into a caricature when it is more relevant than ever.

Not a fan of Poilievre by any means, but I'm glad we don't live in a world where he immediately takes the anti-trans attack angle. I won't be surprised if he does in a few days or weeks, but I'll take what I can get.
Here's the article. It's an excellent read: https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-destroying-the-university-and-learning-itself
Yes, probably, but you know what, even if the DEI was performative, it had a real positive impact for tens of thousands of employees and the culture set by the media empire they control, and now we don't even have that.

IMO, we should make it clear that this is unacceptable in Canadian politics.
