some would see it as a government in paralysis through bloat and bureaucracy with accountability not being clearly assigned to anyone. This is more likely the case now.
Ah yes, but who is responsible for delegating authority and assigning accountability? Certainly can't trust the government to such tasks. They might try and use bureaucracy.
DRM in the kernel, X slowly being replaced by Wayland. Wayland will probably prevent Linux from running on Old Systems. Corporations now own the Linux Foundation, many windows type processes slowly bleeding into Linux. Not to mention the RHEL/CentOS thing and now RHEL is restricting source distribution.
> it's clear to anyone that's being honest that there's some maximum rate you can bring new people in at before they dilute the host country's culture too much for it to be able to continue in any cohesive fashion. That is, if you consider culture to be more than mass media and chain restaurants.
The notion that this country can have its own culture is i think a concept that no longer exists, for at least half the country. After decades of all of our leaders of all stripes and media waving the flag of multiculturalism, we're all immigrants. Even the current prime minister is insistent that we're the first post national state - whatever that means, with core identity. As a result the perception for probably the majority of the population is that there is nothing to dilute, only to enrich. I hope Canadians learn sooner rather than later that the values that we believe are universal and take for granted as we are surrounded by them everyday, are a lot less universal than we think.
When we constantly consumed with stimulus from social media or non stop feed of news and discussion there is no room for boredom. Boredom is important to the creative process.
