According to the Ottawa Sun, staff from the Centre for Students with Disabilities, where the classes were held for students of all abilities, wrote in an email: “While yoga is a really great idea and accessible and great for students...there are cultural issues of implication involved in the practice. Yoga has been under a lot of controversy lately due to how it is being practiced”, and which cultures those practices “are being taken from”.

The email went on to say that because many of those cultures “have experienced oppression, cultural genocide and diasporas due to colonialism and western supremacy... we need to be mindful of this and how we express ourselves while practising yoga.”

Was this Ottawa U or Carleton? Cause Ottawa U has historically made dumb decisions like this, but Carleton has more of a social justice bent.

Anyway I don't think it's a bad concept. Nothing wrong with doing yoga as a white person but if you start going all eat pray love, well, that's offensive to all involved

disabling unauthenticated shares is fine. Just setup a homegroup
I bypassed the issue entirely by setting up a share on the windows 10 side and selecting all the 'this is insecure' boxes. It's literally to get the windows 10 full install ISO over so I can burn it to a cd and reinstall the system fresh; I had to run the upgrade first to transfer/register as legit from OEM 8 since it doesn't accept dell OEM registration keys because reasons

what's the recommended thing if I want to do remote work on their systems, so they can call me if something breaks? Keep in mind they're behind a fios router, I don't know if it supports UPNP or some other mechanism for remote-initiated connections but I can try. It's win 10 standard, I'd like to just use RDP or something? Might as well set up all that while it's here

Also, I really dislike the popups like "try office free for a month". It's just going to confuse them, what's a good website that shows how to turn all that poo poo off?

His scheme to use a higher sales tax in order to cut property taxes is a right wing style joke that just pushes the tax burden onto the poor, my entire property taxes amount to less than $1000 yearly. It's incredibly regressive.

i didnt want to spell it out too much in the gray forum thread and get banned by a nazi mod for internet detectiving but you can read his twitter and blogspot posts from 2008 until now and it's all paranoid schizophrenic stuff. in one early post he says he has a camera monitoring some data transfers, and another camera monitoring that camera (these are labeled cameras #3 and #4).

setting up a homegroup takes like 30 seconds. anyhow remote assistance is built into windows and you have them start a session and it will generate a key you use to join it. should punch thru firewalls automatically
