The Minister Of Labour isn't anti-union. They are anti-Labour.
Sec 107 should be struck down by the SCC. All the Union should unite against that section.
The first time section 107 of the labour code was used was under the Harper Govt against whom?...
...
... That's right. Against Air Canada employees.

Turns out Sec 107 was put forth under The Right Honourable Brian "GST" Mulroney. (Bill C-40, 1985), PC. The Liberal way: let Conservative put anti-labour legisation so that they can use it later.
Workers voting CPC vote against their own interests. And LPC too.

I do all my self-hosting on a couple of VPSes. Because I have been using a single configuration for a couple decades, they both use MySQL for all databases.
Do you want to try to convince me I should switch from MySQL to PostgreSQL? If I should switch, why?
Having run like this for a while, my Opinions About Databases can be summed up as "for anything human-sized SQLite on solid-state storage is way, way better than anyone realizes, and there's not much room for MySQL/MariaDB in the world outside of social inertia."
If you don't need Postgres - and if don't know with empirical certainty that you need Postgres, then you don't need Postgres - then SQLite is plenty.
Flight attendants ordered back to work say labour law violates right to strike
I wouldn't call on flight attendants to do millions of dollars of damage to Air Canada's planes, but I think that would send a message to the government and frivolously denying labour the right to strike.
Ground the whole fleet at once.
@PatrickoftheG not showing up for a flight is enough to ground the plane. The flying crew is a **safety** requirement.
Airlines have been lobbying hard for decades to lower that requirement.
I vibe-coded this yesterday to help deal with my timesheet at work. I didn't find the way GitHub presented my activities useful for tracking my time.

Seems to work OK. Would love feedback on how to improve it.

Dear fedi, I'm looking for a needle in a haystack, but maybe you can help.
I'm looking for a song, roughly jazz with female vocals, sung by a Finnish goup or vocalist, with lyrics in English. The parts of the lyrics I remember say something like "we could be inside each other for a hwile."
Any guesses gratefully received.

Audiobooks are a 100% valid way of reading, and if it's your primary way, I hear & honor ya.
Your irregular reminder that if you enjoy audiobooks Libro.fm is an incredibly good replacement for Audible.
Libro.fm provides DRM-free downloadable MP3 versions of the book (in addition to having an app you can use). They've had at least 90% of the books I've looked for.
They're also an employee-owned social corporation that allows you to support local independent bookstores with your purchases.
Here's a 20-minute tutorial In which I demonstrate how I use #Suno AI to cover/remix my tracks in new ways. A few people have been asking me to show this because the website's a little incomprehensible, so I thought I would do a bit of an explainer.
Here, I'm using NVDA screen-reader in windows with Google Chrome.
If you are attempting this on MacOS, you will likely have to interact with the item and move over to the play button before being able to do VO+Space to play your item. If you don't, nothing much happens.
In all other respects, MacOS works very similarly to windows, so you should be able to follow along with this demo successfully.

I realised today that I’m not really a mega fan of anything.
Like… there’s no band, show, or creator that I’m a die-hard fan of. And it kinda makes me sad. There’s this joy in being so into something that it becomes part of your identity, and I’ve never really had that. Sometimes I wish I knew what it felt like to go full feral over something. So tell me, what’s the thing you’re a mega fan of? What gets you screaming, defending, or just fully obsessed?
Please repost, as I"d love to see all the answers everywhere.
I got utterly hooked on novels by Dave Duncan, a Scotsman turned Canadian who, after retiring from geology in his 50s, ended up publishing over 60 books before his death in 2018.
I picked up the first of one of his series by pure chance, and got sucked in for days during one of the coldest winters we'd had for years. The first 3 days stuck indoors, no work, no warmth, nowhere else to go and nothing to do, set the tone for me to enjoy dozens of his stories afterward.
I'd regularly preorder one of his upcoming releases and be excited for it for weeks. The build-up and the anticipation were tremendously fun.
While I'm generally very pro-EU, this #ChatControl initiative they keep pushing - despite experts persistently debunking the rationale behind it - is indefensible.
Instead, this initiative will create an extremely invasive surveillance state where everything you type, view and receive is automatically scanned & potentially (falsely) flagged for human review.
This would mean the end of privacy.
If you are an EU-citizen, please consider writing to your MEPs.

ÖPNV: Warum deutsche Zustände nicht "normal" sind
ÖPNV-Fahrgäste in Deutschland sind viel Leid gewohnt. Hier ist Normalität, was nicht normal ist. Das zeigt auch der Blick ins Ausland.

Heute wollen wir auf der #FrOSon versuchen einen kleinen Bot zu programmieren. 10:45 Uhr in C125.
Die lib, die wir verwenden, wird auch von #profanity und #xmppc verwendet.
#XMPP #Jabber #Bildung #Programmieren #Chat #Messenger #FreeSoftware
I give #xmpp a try every few years hoping that it has become easier to use.
I recently installed Kaidan and started chatting with another person using Kaidan. I then installed Conversations by @daniel hoping I could continue the conversation there.
However, every message we had sent in @kaidan had been replaced with “This message is encrypted with OMEMO 2 but could not be decrypted”.
I guess the keys are stored locally and needs to be transferred to Conversations somehow?
I'm on xmpp.earth which seems to have good XEP support.
Where do I go from here? Thanks!
So among the various things i #selfhost is my NAS. It's just a desktop that I installed a nice disk controler and some 12K SAS drives and #TrueNAS. But it lives, like a lot of my kit, in the garage. And it's hot in the garage tonight. Ambient air temp is like 82F/28C at 23:00 at night.
Most of the time it's fine. CPUs tend to run around 45C just doin normal stuff. But when I do an scp of a film I've digitized on my laptop, it goes over gigabit ethernet and that seems to warm up the CPUs. For the whole like 45-90 seconds the scp is running, the cores get super hot. Then it calms down.
Remember. Air Canada wanted to buy Air Transat. The Government of Canada was OK with that. Because competition.
However the EU had a say in it and it was to be a big Nope. So they bailed out.
Just to tell you how much the Governement of Canada is in cahoots with the Aircartel.

Well established company has a kickstarter for a new product.
If they are well established why do they need a kickstarter? Or is that because the CEO doesn't want to risk his money?
