Federal MP denounces Quebec's francization budget cuts
With francization classes closing in several regions of the province, Justin Trudeau's political lieutenant in Quebec, Jean-Yves Duclos, says he has 'concerns' that new arrivals may not have access to francization courses because of 'budget cuts.'Montreal
Today, we celebrate the birthday of the remarkable Marie Skłodowska-Curie – a true inspiration for researchers worldwide. 🎉
As the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only individual to receive it twice in two different categories, her contributions to science are unparalleled.
The #MSCActions fellowship bears her name and helps young scientists in their research.
We will keep building a brighter future for generations to come.
For morbid reasons of my own I keep an eye on the Apache OpenOffice project's regular reports to the ASF board:
whimsy.apache.org/board/minute…
As is normal, the September report says that all is great with the project - community health is always "improving". And they are clearly on top of upcoming problems: "Python 2 is unmaintained. We have in the development tree the external python3 support. Internal python 3 support is difficult. We are checking alternatives." They plan to fix it in "the next major release". The project hasn't made a major release in ten years, so I wouldn't hold my breath...
(OK, so I'm still clearly in a snarky mode, sorry.)

DPL means Debian Project Leader?
I think it would be helpful to spell that out, it would make it easer for outsiders and newbies who may not know what DPL means. 🙂

The fact that the Hellsite is now completely unusable without an account is probably the best indication that your should delete your account.

2. I've created an account on bsky: bsky.app/profile/ebassi.bsky.s… — still unsure as to whether I'm going to use it much
Microsoft are effectively giving up on Copilot Pro subscription ($20/month) as almost nobody paid for it.
Instead they are bundling it into Microsoft 365 consumer subscriptions and inflating the renewal prices there. There’s no opt out.
Effectively allows the Copilot revenue and user numbers to be inflated.

A ver, gente de lejos con ganas de ayudar, un sitio donde meter pasta, de mil que habrá: para el rescate de una librería en Picanya, cercana a unos amigos. Cercana de "la librería favorita de mis amigos" pero también cercana de "sus amigos que llevan la libreria además se han quedado en la calle, incluida la nena de un año es amiga de la nena de mis amigos":

We are very happy to present you with GIMP 3.0.0 RC1! 🥳
This is our first release candidate for what will be GIMP 3.0.0. Now is the time for everyone to test!
It is the result of years of work. I'm sure it still has many bugs (and you should report!), but we hope you will still appreciate the new version. 🤗
Ja, Rousseau heeft zijn partij aan de NVA verkocht.
"Nick Serneels neemt ontslag als voorzitter van Vooruit district Antwerpen. Dat blijkt uit een mail van Serneels naar de leden van de districtsafdeling van Vooruit. Hij voelt zich gepasseerd tijdens de onderhandelingen voor een nieuw districtsbestuur."
Rousseau maakt manu militari coalities met NVA en passeert zelfs de lokale partijleiding ..
Congratulations to the awesome Jen Linkova, winner of the 2024 Itojun Service Award for her work on #IPv6!
She has played a key role in blazing a path towards IPv6-mostly deployments in Enterprise environments, including bringing the Google network to IPv6-mostly. It has been a great pleasure working with her over the years and this award is very well deserved!
With #matrix and oidc I was thinking about offering an official FluffyChat server. It would have some benefits, right? I could have more control over the UX and would be kore independent. On the other hand it would require a lot of work and eval a public legal identity with either an expensive impressum service or publishing my physical address. Also a lot of legal paperwork.
So I came up with a new idea. A new login UX flow where the user picks the homeserver from a trustworthy list

in reply to ApexBoomer • • •@ApexBoomer You are just full of hate. I see. Hugs for you.
Btw empty country roads and bike lines are useless if they are not anyway near to my path between my job and my home.
I can also argument with why you drivers are polluting the road around my house, when we keep putting in so many motorways.
And for traffic rules: you are just posting it under a video where a car broke several traffic rules, well...
ApexBoomer
in reply to Štěpán Škorpil • • •@stepanCars now have catalytic converters and use cleaner fuels. They create very little pollution. In the USA, diesel cars are not common at all, unlike in the EU, so that dog won't hunt.
I have equal hatred for drivers that do not follow the rules of the road and do stupid shit. If I encounter a cyclist who isn't riding like a moron my hatred is substantially reduced. But sadly, the overwhelming majority on the roads here are total ass hats who believe they own the road just because they are a hairsbreadth away from annihilation. Fuck them.
You know which cyclists are far better than these ludicrous adults in faggoty Tour de France garb? Kids. They are more cautious and less entitled. They also are easier to forgive because they are fucking kids and don't know any better. You spandex faggots know better.

in reply to Goth Vaporeon • • •I have a Honda Fourtrax. I use it around my property to tow my DR mower and my dump trailer.
It has neither registration, nor insurance, nor the mandated safety equipment like turn signals and brake lights that road vehicles have.
And because of that, I cannot ride it on the road.
Bicycles should likewise be banned until they meet the same requirements that cars do.

With felony "endangering the public" punishments.

in reply to WilhelmIII • • •The crazy thing is that "cyclists" seem to be an American* problem. There are tons of bikes here in Mexico and everyone gets along just fine. Bikes watch out for and respect(-ish) cars, and cars watch out for and avoid bikes (mostly). Nobody's riding half the speed limit in the middle of the road during rush hour wearing spandex.
* And America's vassals, such as Canada and Australia.
