From the nested article, the farmer they interviewed makes $20.05/hour, above the minimum wage of $17.20/hour. Which is below the Ottawa living wage for 2023 but it does include a room which doesn’t sound like a slum

I do accept that this may be an outlier, as the person they interviewed is a lead farmer, but this rule change is targeting employees below the median wage, $28.39/hour in Ontario.

I disagree that this is endorsing slavery

They don’t edit the metadata on the files themselves, unless there’s a trick I’m missing

Super basic, but check the quality of your power supplies, it’s not going to be a smoking gun, but a good quality, stable power supply is worth investing in
