Former environment minister quits Carney’s cabinet
Steven Guilbeault has resigned from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet, citing his strong opposition to the federal Liberal government’s major new energy agreement with Alberta.Mike Le Couteur (CTVNews)

I was gonna say, Carney is probably wondering if he can get any other questionably competent ministers to quit too 😅
@shadowspar he needs a yes-person. Because any competent environment minister would reject his plan... "carbon capture" is a con.
We're a bunch of NVDA fanboys. What should we call ourselves?

Version 2.25.0 is available in the OpenStore and as snap 🎉
We're inching closer to feature parity with the official apps as this release brings the "Apps & Media" overview for chats and contacts that has been missing so far. In addition, a number of bugs have been fixed. For the complete list of changes, check out the changelog: codeberg.org/lk108/deltatouch/…
As a special treat, packages for #UbuntuTouch 16.04 (xenial) have been prepared. The OpenStore does not accept updates for UT xenial anymore, get the xenial update from codeberg.org/lk108/deltatouch/… instead.
v2.25.0-xenial for Ubuntu Touch 16.04 (xenial) ONLY - !! do not use for other platforms !! - lk108/deltatouch
This release is for Ubuntu Touch 16.04 (xenial) only. **IMPORTANT**: Please backup your profile(s) before installing this update, otherwise it is not possible to go back to the previous version 1.16.2.Codeberg.org
also i've started collating all the SGI Indy hardware documentation i can find here - erikarn.github.io/sgi/indy/not… .
There are plenty of sites covering the operational aspects - like links to the power supply documentation, how to recover from a dead NVRAM, lots more random documentation pdfs that are super useful - but not about how the hardware actually ticks.
So, I'm going to go do that.
And god, i wish SGI/HP would just open source IRIX 6.5 trees already. Sigh.

Just got a lovely spam/scam email from a company called Cloud Storage Space, alerting me that my sotrage space is about to be deleted. Of course, I know it's a scam but it's written in such a way that someone who may not be thinking clearly and acting quickly could just click the link, provide whatever it is the scammers are asking for and then heaven help them.

An old tired-looking dog wanders into a guy's yard. The dog does look like he has a home, but he soon follows the man into the house, goes down the hall, jumps on the couch and falls asleep. The man thinks it's odd but lets him sleep. After about an hour, the dog wakes up, walks to the door, and the guy lets him out. The dog wags its tail and leaves.
The next day, the dog comes back and scratches at the door. The guy opens the door, and the dog comes in, goes down the hall, jumps on the couch and falls asleep again. The man lets him sleep. After about an hour, the dog wakes up, walks to the door, and the guy lets him out. The dog wags its tail and leaves.
This goes on for days. The guy grows really curious, so he pins a note on the dog's collar: "Your dog has been taking a nap at my house every day."
The next day the dog arrives with another note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with four children -- he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?”

ground beef is cooking and the chicken enchiladas are ready for the oven. I decided on doing a sour cream chicken and cheese filling for those. It's going to be great!
The funny thing about my cooking journey is I wasn’t always an Asian food cooking expert. When I lived in southeast and South Asia, there was absolutely no reason to cook any of their cuisines there. It was widely available and cheap and easy. It was more expensive to cook it myself and I couldn’t possibly have done it even 1/10th as well.
I mostly cooked French, Italian and Thai food (Thai food I picked up because I was in the Middle East for a bit and I needed spice). So I cook all of those cuisines at a pretty advanced level, and feel like I had to really learn how to cook the Singaporean / Malaysian street foods I miss. But I know no one back home really cooks those dishes at home either. (Home food and street food is very different. No one is really starting up a huge wok to do char kway teow, or making advanced things like roast meats that we can easily purchase).
So now when I tell my family I know how to make things like laksa or fish soup bee hoon or nasi lemak, they think that I’m a sorcerer. They don’t make this stuff at home.

The Alberta-Ottawa/Federal Government energy deal MOU is more than "just a pipeline" per PM Carney.
Any guess where most of the water will come (pillage) from to develop "nuclear power, and...massive energy-hungry AI data centres" in Alberta?
(the term "clean electricity" sounds like the greenwashing term "clean coal')
#BCpoli #tankers #WaterSecurity
@hub
Diverting the water given the current and near-future water security issues is a huge cost. Significant issue.
The value that those in power are looking at is not in the people building the data centres. It's in the data/info/AI that those centres wield -- 🇨🇦 info/data security important, but also potential international influence.
Not saying that this is a good plan, nor that it's a black & white issue with a black & white answer/solution.
What's alarming are the "powers that be" and those who stand to gain financially from this -- at the cost of daily living & health for British Columbians and Canadians.

I keep having to remind myself that this #FreeBSD laptop isn't running Linux.
Other than a few very minor issues, it JUST WORKS. After all of the work (it wasn't even hard, really) of setting it up and customizing a couple of my scripts to run on FreeBSD, the OS does its most important job: disappearing.
This is pretty cool. Give yourselves a pat on the back, #FreeBSD devs. Things are really getting better.
Disclaimer: Just because I haven't encountered any deal-breakers doesn't mean that you won't. Always do your due diligence and try it out on a non-critical machine, first. Also, using an old #Thinkpad (instead of a brand new whatever) is usually the best advice for stuff like this ;)
mine has some sleep/wake issues especially if I remove it from the USB or Thunderbolt dock before waking. Either outright freezing or peripherals it can't let go of or is never detected again until reboot. It also always seems to fail to wake from sleep properly with Wayland, but not X11 where it's usually fine
Other than those caveats which are mostly understandable (just needs better hardware re-scanning upon wake) it's very usable and most people won't do what I do, so...

Who had the funny idea to turn tags to lowerCase on auto-completion in the Mastodon Web UI? That's kinda nasty. Especially if I select a tag like "AndroidAppRain" (spelled exactly like that in the suggestion) by typing "AndroidA" and let it auto-complete: "androidappRain" is *NOT* what I'd expect.
I've checked the preferences, but found nothing. Any hints on how to set this to sane defaults? Screenreaders have it easier with CamelCase…

Instance admins and moderators can change the capitalization of hashtags on their instance on a per-hashtag basis. I've been doing this on my instance, manually CamelCasing every hashtag that makes it to trending.
Instances default to using the hashtag capitalization which matches the first use of the hashtag the instance came across.
@TheCoolest Thanks! But why then does the instance I'm on, where I created the hashtag (at lease as far as I remember), not stick to the CamelCase I've used for it? 🤔
But let's see: @downey @admin could you try that for one (or both) of "IzzyOnDroid" and/or "AndroidAppRain", so we can verify? I'm 100% sure I created both hashtags, but I'm not 100% sure whether I did so before or after I migrated here from MastodonTechnology.
@jonw nope, you get a single suggestion per hashtag. But selecting that, what you see is not (always) what you get.

Ok, story time. A few days ago I was hanging out in my CS Foundations course at NorthEastern, listening to the professor talk about various things related to classes and objects in Python. At one point, he decided that we were going to live code some stuff together. Now, unfortunately, because of the way the course is structured, I can't participate in this as he's usually going extremely fast and not being super descriptive with what he's actually writing in terms of syntax. Everyone around me had their laptops and were keeping up with him from the sound of it, while I just sat there trying to take in what I could.
This course is like three hours long, and at some point, it hit me that I will probably never be able to have an equivalent experience to everyone else in the room. Not sure why it took so long to sink in, I've been taking the class for like two months at this point, and it never really bothered me before, but by the end I just found myself really wishing I could see. I've been totally blind for most of my life, had some vision when I was really little, but lost all of it pretty early on after they did a ton of surgeries. Most of my life was spent at a school for the blind, and later at Berklee, where there were lots of other blind students that I could hang with and confide in if I ever had problems. At Northeastern however, I just feel alone. That's not to say people avoid me or anything like that, I have a few friends, but I feel like I don't really relate to them. Wonder if any other totally blind people feel the same way sometimes? I do my best not to let this consume my life, but I've been thinking about it a lot this week.

I felt like that a lot in school, all the way up to college. It was one of the many reasons I didn't finish college. For me, it started it Grammar school, although I didn't have the vocabulary to express it.
