you’re probably right as to why.
I’ll note that on my gaming desktop I decided to try out Debian instead of my usual choice of Fedora and its worked fine for gaming with latest gen CPU and GPU. I did install the steam flatpak which will have a newer version of Mesa. I think this is a good middle ground for a system you don’t want to mess with too much.
I thought that was strange to but here’s what they say on their website that makes it sound like you wont be charged for DDoS or bots
How We Count unique IPs (UIP)
The total number of unique IPs is tallied based on total number of legitimate individual IP addresses at the end of the calendar month. If a reader visits your website every day from the same IP address, that will equal 1 unique visitor for that calendar month, no matter how often they visit your website.
Unique is fair
Other providers might charge you based on website hits, website visits, megabytes of bandwidth, services offered and many other metrics. Some providers charge premiums during attacks. We opt for fair, consistent and predictable low-cost pricing that serves our clients fairly. Malicious bots or traffic generated during an attack are not something that you will pay for either, as these IPs will not be counted in your monthly pricing.
You can try switching to a Canadian accent, it’s pretty similar to the American accent as long as you aren’t going for a French Canadian or newfound land accent. Also writing Canada sometimes uses British spelling and sometimes uses American depending on the word.
Gabe has been public about supporting Linux as a gaming platform but I’m not really sure how much he is involved in on the day to day. If you follow what they’re doing Pierre-Loup (PL) seems to be driving most of their Linux work.
I think he’s referring just to the letters OGC in the font they chose.
The 2022 election was an actual leadership election. This was just a leadership review. People who did vote weren’t voting for a new leader. They were voting on if they still think PP should be leader. There wasn’t candidates to vote for. It was a yes or no question. If he lost this election there would be a leadership election similar to the 2022 one you reference. The 2022 election was triggered by the previous leader stepping down just like the NDP leadership election has been triggered by Jagmeet stepping down.
I do think the system is a bit strange that they have a leadership review and it’s handled by delagtes who only get picked if they are voted in at meetings in the different electoral districts. Makes it easy to stay in as leader if you can convince the right people to come.
But again what I said before stands. If the NDP did a leadership review at a convention they could do the same thing as the conversatives here cause the constitution allows for it.
Is this true? I can’t find a source about only delegates being allowed to vote. An ex-conversative friend of mine was saying that they usually send the ballots out by mail to any member in good standing.
Edit: doing more reading I don’t think its 100% fair to compare this to NDP election. This was a leadership review not a leadership election. If PP lost this then a leadership election would happen that works basically the same as NDP leadership election in terms of who’s allowed to vote. Second the NDP has similar rules about delegates to NDP conventions as far as I can tell. You can read both their constitutions here

I gave SimpleX a try and the lack of multi device sync was annoying https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/issues/444 . If you want to use it across your phone and computer you basically can’t without having two distinct accounts for each device.
Jami works better in this regard. its also P2P no accounts, just a cartographic key as your identifier and a optional name server if you want to map keys to usernames (doesn’t need to be used). Cross device sync works pretty well in my experience. IOS is another story though. They have an app but I had a lot of issues with people on IOS not receiving message notifications.
By desktop do you mean the jitsi call widget thing? Instead of the native call support that I believe element x uses?
Do the voice call and video features work with continuwuity?
I mean hopefully they can get actual funding for stuff. 15 years ago would have been when the funding never came through from the province for the O-Train expansion and when Mayor Larry O’Brien cut the expansion. If the original plan stuck it probably would have been like that. Hopefully in the next 5-10 years we can elect people that want to expand the O-Train and the rest of the transit system, not destroy it.
Fair enough, yeah those streets can be problematic. I think the fact that there are so many winter parking ban tickets show how problematic on street parking is.
I’m not sure what a good solution to this is, but I think the current minimum parking reqs have not made complete market sense with the value of land. I think there is a healthier balance than what we are currently doing.
Which part of the minimum parking changes do you not like? In the vast majority of neighborhoods that are N1 to N3 there is a minimum of 1 parking spot per dwelling. The changes to minimum parking mainly effect businesses and apartments/condos.
Increased density with mixed use also means less need to drive. There is a better chance people could walk to a grocery store, cafe, pharmacy, etc.
The situation in the city today is not great for transit but 5-10 years down the line if it’s better than it would be great if the city wasn’t just built for cars.
Lol this is ridiculous after last week’s comment from trump
“Well, it’s OK. That’s what he should be doing,” Trump told reporters Friday at the White House. “If you can get a deal with China, you should do that.”
I think he’s just a capitalist banker with agenda to push capitalist friendly policies but in the context of how he compares it to rules based order (a potentially good thing) I don’t think this is what he meant. He says we pretend we have rules based order because it was a good thing even though we know at heart that strong powers can act outside the rules. The shop owners pretend the workers are united (a good thing) even though they know the government is corrupt and does not support the workers.
The idea would be two monitors, keyboard, and mice connected to one PC so two people could play games on the same beefy computer at the same time. To avoid issues with steam detecting another instance running, it would be great if the two users were isolated from each other in some way. Also ideally avoiding the need to purchase a second beefy GPU. So PCI-passthrough is out, as you’re giving exclusive access to the GPU in the VM (some GPU support virtualization, but my 9070 xt does not). My understanding is that multi-seat as described here for systemd https://wiki.debian.org/Multi_Seat_Debian_HOWTO should be able to do this as you can have two user logged in at the same time, but this require each seat to have its own dedicated GPU for display. The docs from debian seem to suggest the DRI_PRIME may still work to use the other GPU. I am curious if anyone has tried this before and knows if it works I go around buying a cheap secondary GPU.
VNC seems like an interesting idea, I wonder what the latency would be like for
How do you do it with x? I would be interested in looking at this.
I think in theory it could be done in Wayland if a compositor implements multi-seat support. There is a fork of wlroots & labwc in this repo that seems like it’s trying to do that https://github.com/garlett/multiseat
Just had this recommended the video of the presentation recommended to me in my youtube feed this morning. Cory brings up a lot of good ideas in his presentation. Countries like Canada and the member states of the EU should really look at removing laws forced upon them by US free trade agreements. Free trade with the US is gone so why should we keep laws like copyright anti circumvention.
I really hope this idea takes hold a countries start selling that a future without the US as a superpower is inevitable. We can’t rely on the US or US business for any of our critical infrastructure.
100% Agree, I thankfully have a local grocery store close to me so I can avoid the big 3, but this isn’t a realistic option for everyone. I’m hesitant to just buy online for things like produce as my experience with them has been mediocre (I haven’t tried costco though).
This really isn’t a problem the everyday Canadian can fix without the government stepping in and breaking up the monopoly of Loblaws, Sobey’s and Metro.
I’d love to see a future Canada where there was more local grocery chains, with the same access to product that the big three have. Also would be great if they were closer to where people lives so people wouldn’t feel like the need to drive to get their groceries.
Was this images that were auto uploading from a mobile phone? I think the bug was a permission issue in Android, if you don’t grant location access it can’t get any of the meta data of the photo (iirc).
