Submission + - Cory Doctorow on Tariffs and the DMCA in Canada (pluralistic.net)

devnulljapan writes: In 2012, Canada passed anti-circumvention law Bill C-11 , cut'n'pasted from the US DMCA, in return for aces to US markets without tariffs. Trump has tariffed Canada anyway, so Cory Doctorow suggests it sounds like like a good idea to ditch Bill C-11 and turn Canada into a Disenshittification Nation and go into business disenshittifying America's defective tech products.

Last time I looked, they were the only ones making laptops without those goddawful shiny glossy screens (been using Thinkpads since IBM's T21).
First thing I do is format and install the OS of my choice anyway. Not that that excuses preloading crapware on their machines.
I do need a new laptop though -- would love some recommendations for Linux-friendly brands.

Unfortunately the answer is "probably"
