Les conservateurs s’opposent au projet de loi sur le congé temporaire de TPS
  • Les conservateurs POUR les taxes??????? On vit dans un monde parallèle

  • How to properly test my internet speed from ISP?
  • In Canada from what I've seen it's most often than not +5-10% over the speed you're paying for. For example with a 400mbps plan you will get about 450 when plugged in

  • Every time I use python it makes me want to throw my computer through my window. Doesn't happen with other languages. Pip fucking sucks it seems like every time I want to install dependencies for a project there is one that throws a compilation error when installing it. Like, why does it not try to download the version of the package that works with my version of python?? It doesn't even tell me why it failed!!!

    Le PQ veut forcer la divulgation des documents de la commission Grenier

    > Après avoir fait adopter une motion — puis donné son accord à une autre — pour forcer la divulgation de la documentation de la commission d’enquête Grenier, le PQ estime ne pas avoir d’autre option que d’emprunter la voie législative. L’élu Bérubé déposera mercredi un projet de loi pour obliger le DGEQ à rendre disponibles rapidement les informations dont il dispose à ce sujet. > >[...] > >Le texte législatif porté par M. Bérubé — promis depuis l’an dernier — prévoit la divulgation des documents seulement aux parlementaires, qui « s’assureraient de respecter la confidentialité » et se « donneraient les plus hauts critères pour regarder ce qui s’y trouve ». Ce sont eux qui décideraient ensuite ce qui mérite d’être diffusé publiquement et ce qui mérite de rester confidentiel.

    Is there a community where I can get news about technology as in science, as opposed to "drama involving tech companies"?
  • Hacker News is probably your best bet as long as you don't go too deep in the comments

  • Firefox 133 now seems to follow Gnome's accent color!
  • There was always a need for a specific system dependency like for the file picker. There was no universal API that uses a system provided way to have a file picker. It had to be hacked together by adding dependencies to the app and everything that comes with this

  • Kinetic scrolling in chromium based applications

    Hi all

    I've been a touchpad user for a long time with Linux, I love the gestures and I think the 3-finger GNOME ones are even better than the ones on my MacOS work computer (which have a weird delay when switching workspaces, but thats besides the point). Thats to say, I use Firefox and GTK4 apps when I can because they implement kinetic scrolling in a very smooth and satisfying way.

    Now comes the problems, applications using Chromium/Electron all have a very janky kinetic scroll implementation. They are all way too fast, and thats when the kinetic scroll is enabled manually in the settings. Does anyone know of a way to reduce that speed? Or even better, if someone has links to issues that I can track that aim to improve the kinetic scrolling implementation, and its default setting status (when its going to be enabled as default), I would appreciate it a lot!

    BTW, if some of you are interested, I made this small website some time ago to track the status touchpads on Linux: https://arewescrollingyet.com/. If someone has issues for chromium I will gladly add it to the site

    Firefox 133 now seems to follow Gnome's accent color!
  • the good thing is that virtually everyone uses GNOME and KDE, so the small issues are mostly encountered by more advanced users with custom setups. The main point is that app developers can now develop apps that will work anywhere that implements the required features, and if it doesnt, then too bad, show an error message. Its the same kind of problem with, for example, webcams. The user may or may not have a webcam connected, in which case you display an error popup with a clear message that it does not work because the feature is not implemented. They could go into fallbacks but those are usually platform/desktop specific (which goes against the point of building using the standard stack)

  • Someone Made a Dataset of One Million Bluesky Posts for 'Machine Learning Research'
  • Something interesting about this is that this is because of a legal loophole in texas that says that if the ATM gets taken away, it gives the business the right to shoot one and exactly one person at sight. This law was passed by trump in 2017 according to the guardian https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jul/22/trump-new-law-atm-shoot-one-person and according to the new york times as well https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/22/politics/trump-atm-shooting-law.html

  • Firefox 133 now seems to follow Gnome's accent color!
  • I love the flatpak Wayland portals and systemd desktop stack. It allows Linux to finally have some sort of standard that everyone agrees on. This is what has been holding Linux back for so many years, it's basically impossible to build a Linux app that will work for everyone because of this. Now we have a single dedicated system APIs that is available basically everywhere

  • X's Objection to the Onion Buying InfoWars Is a Reminder You Do Not Own Your Social Media Accounts

  • X's Objection to the Onion Buying InfoWars Is a Reminder You Do Not Own Your Social Media Accounts

  • Trudeau government to send $250 cheques to most people, slash GST on some goods
  • Sorry if this sounds blunt but if you need 250$ while making >= 150 000$ then there must be a serious money leak in your budget. 250$ in a year should be really easy to recover if you absolutely need it. Cancelling a subscription like Netflix, downgrading your phone plan, lowering the heating in the winter by a degree will all very likely result in > 250$ in savings per year. That's 20$ per month.

  • Trudeau government to send $250 cheques to most people, slash GST on some goods
  • I hate that this is becoming the norm these days. This is obviously a gift because of the upcoming elections. Anyone making 149 999 per year doesn't need an extra 250$. This is very clearly meant to be able to gift it to as many people as possible. I really hope the other candidates hammer on this electorialist measure during the debates. Plus considering the finances of the country this really doesn't make any sense. Like sure the country is under massive dept let's just send out money and cut revenue for 2 months

  • The app is good, however what makes the other platforms good is their algorithm and the content that is available. If those are missing (and they likely will for privacy reasons) there's little reason for me to use it instead of instagram reels or tiktok for example.

  • Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit
  • It's not about right wing or left wing populists. All populists lie because the only thing they want is to see their face on TV and to be in power.

  • We should have a better definition for the word hole

    Like... In my opinion, a hole is when it does not go through, and when it does, it becomes a tunnel. A straw is a tunnel. A hole in a piece of paper is a tunnel. A bowl is a hole.

    Troubleshooting a desktop that does not go into sleep mode/suspend

    Hello all, for a few weeks/months now, my computer has stopped going into suspend mode. Here is what happens when putting it to sleep (using GNOME's power menu) or using systemctl suspend:

    1. Display turns off, peripherals turn off (keyboard lights off etc), fans spin up before sleep as usual
    2. Fans go back to idle speed, computer stays on
    3. Have to press the keyboard, wake the display up and go in the power menu again to suspend it (from the lock screen), and it works every time like this.

    I have no idea what could be preventing suspend and what I could find online did not really help a lot. I don't think it is a USB device because I tried unplugging most of them except my mouse or my keyboard and it still did not work, and the second time on the lock screen it always suspends like intended

    le projet de loi 69 (réforme énergétique)

    www.ledevoir.com Vers la modulation des tarifs résidentiels d’Hydro-Québec dès 2026

    Par son projet de loi, Pierre Fitzgibbon veut diminuer la consommation d’électricité dans les périodes de pointe.

    Vers la modulation des tarifs résidentiels d’Hydro-Québec dès 2026

    Vous en pensez quoi de ce projet de loi? Personnellement ça fait juste me donner l'illusion que Fitzgibbon est encore plus un magouilleur qui a des chums à rendre heureux... C'est pas le pire projet de loi du monde, mais il donne plus de libertés au privé ce qui me semble être une pente très glissante.

    Façon de batir un dossier de crédit en tant qu'étudiant?

    Bonjour peuple,

    Je me demandais comment je pourrais batir mon score de crédit sans trop de risques/passer par des chemins sketch. Je vis chez mes parents, je suis étudiant au Cégep et j'ai environ 8-10k$ en revenus par an. J'avais appliqué pour la carte de crédit Tangerine mais j'ai été refusé. J'aurais aimé l'avoir car ma banque est déjà Tangerine et ça aurait été facile pour les paiements automatiques etc

    Alors je me demandais quelles sont vos recommendations de carte de crédit (ou autres moyens de batir du crédit sans passer par des chemins sketchy)

    merci!

    Pourquoi les taxes sont pas incluses dans les prix?

    A chaque fois que je vois les prix en Europe, (spécifiquement les prix de téléphonie et d'internet...) je me fais rappeler à quel point notre système est con de pas afficher le prix incluant les taxes. Ça sert juste a donner une impression que quelque chose est moins cher qu'il ne l'est réellement . Pis c'est pas comme si on en est pas capables, la SAQ affiche très bien le prix incluant les taxes.

    Est-ce que quelqu'un ici sait si ya déja eu des projets de loi pour que tous les frais et taxes soient inclus dans le prix affiché? Il me semble que ça serait le genre de chose que l'OPC ferait.
