REM too unreliable, bring back buses linking South Shore to Montreal, Brossard mayor says

The *private* CDPQ-Infra wanted exclusivity for a public service. And the people in charge caved. And now the public is paying even more for it.
If the build Alto, they will probably want the same shit.

#FluffyChat now displays all of your #matrix push rules in the settings in a user friendly interface. You can enable/disable them and delete custom push rules if needed.
In the future I might add a poweruser editor for new push rules. Aiming to support as many features of matrix push rules as possible.

The #curl feature window is now open. Go go go.
I guess that’s something you already thought about.
Not really a feature, but recently I discovered some new curl features. Well documented, working great and very useful but what can be done to help users discover these features.
I know a lot of people already know how great curl is, but maybe don’t know how much better it actually is.
I think that a lot of people (I was one of them) assume that because curl is ubiquitous, that it is like the basic utilities ‘ls’, ‘cd’, etc. and that they don’t get any new features.
Anyway, all of that to say I love curl and I can’t wait to see what will be next!

Why is the icon for LO Math missing from the logo?
I get that it's a niche program, but it's pretty cool. When I was teaching math overseas several years ago, only LibreOffice was able to write the equations I needed for tests. You folks made it easy and it looked professional, too.

Amazon is warning users about the impending shutdown of its official Appstore for Android devices. Customers will lose access to the Amazon Appstore on their Android smartphones...Alfonso Maruccia (TechSpot)
Signal has long said it'd "rather shut down or leave a market" than add a backdoor or weaken its encryption.
Apple also had this option when it was ordered by the UK government to build an iCloud backdoor. Apple could have said — without violating secrecy laws — why it was leaving the UK, rather than weaken the security of all of its UK customers.
Instead, Apple capitulated to the demand to keep operating, and prioritized its profits over its customers' security.

While only semi-related to your post, I just read up on the "Sentry Mode" on this thing which sent me down a rabbit hole of security nightmares. The ways in which these vehicles violate privacy, not just of the owners, but of random people just walking by them is both astounding and horrifying.
Also sentry mode drains the battery quickly and only works if the battery is over 20%, which I'm definitely not sharing for reasons related to this post. Definitely not.
Today's victory over enshittification:
I mainly bought my new Google TV Streamer device to listen to audio-only content. So imagine my disappointment when it only worked for 10 minutes. Video worked fine, as did Spotify somehow. Auto-shutdown was set to an hour, and the ambient mode app was disabled. Audio playback just stopped and turned off the receiver and TV entirely, and I exchanged enough connections to know the streamer was the initiator.
The fix, apparently, is to enable developer mode, go into the developer mode settings, check the option to keep the screen awake, then audio-only content like Antennapod works. I guess audio-only apps don't keep the screen alive which, in turn, sends CEC to kill everything else. Hoping auto-shutdown takes over when I stop streaming so this isn't too wasteful.
What an absolute crock. I shouldn't need to be an Android developer to figure this shit out.

"Previously best known for guest appearances on a handful of TV shows (Difficult People, Elementary) and some shows on and off-Broadway, Tramell Tillman has been a revelation on Severance. As Seth Milchick, he represents many of the show’s most important themes without feeling like a walking billboard for them. He brings humanity and life to a character who seems like he’s constantly hiding an aspect of himself from everyone else."

"One thing I wanted to understand was, what is the town of Kier like? I presume that Milchick grew up in Kier — is it racially diverse? And if it’s not, is race a thing? I remember asking Ben [Stiller, the director and executive producer] — I said, 'There’s nothing in the script that suggests that he is specifically Black, but you specifically wanted a Black actor to play this role.' So my question was: 'Milchick is Black. Does he know that he’s Black?'"

#MastoAdmin folks who weren't around the #Fediverse and #Mastodon back in 2018 may not know (or those who were, may have forgotten) how unpopular trending tags were when the project leader forced it despite extensive criticism about creating abuse vectors and clawing back promises of creating an algorithm-free network.
