MAID lawsuit shines spotlight on faith-based health organizations - Under 1995 agreement, B.C. allows organizations to withhold services that conflict with beliefs, values
  • Since the government doesn’t assign these jobs to people, there is no infringement in forcing them to carry out their duties. They are free to find a different job

    It’s like Sikhs and motorcycle helmets; they don’t have to ride a motorcycle so requiring a helmet isn’t infringement though religious wear should be illegal in public anyway as it infringes on other people’s rights

  • Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising
  • Google’s image format

    It’s smaller than png which a company that shows images really likes because it’s cheaper so to force adoption they convert a bunch of images to .webp on google images

    The problem is that 1. It hadn’t been adapted anywhere so people would have to convert it back to png to use 2. It is worse in every aspect to jxl files so Google has had to block the adaptation of jxl on the web as much as they can (jxl retains more quality and is half the size of webp)

    Currently only webkit browsers support jxl out of the box. Firefox has had it in their nightly builds for years now but have never moved it into standard

  • Steam announces game recording beta.
  • Yes, though each of those should be their own company so if steam wants forums they should be able to put someone’s website in their launcher, if they want people to buy games then they should be able to embed someone’s store in their launcher…etc

  • Why do some cbc videos not have CC?

    For instance this video https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/1.7170227

    Has closed captions I can put on but this video doesn’t

    https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/1.7064579

    How does that work with accessibility laws? I wish there was just a scribed button I could press to read the whole video instead of having to pause constantly

    What is the easiest subtitle approach?

    The easiest I found was going to each episode and editing the subtitles then uploading the file (even though they are in the same directory)

    I’m assuming if I named better then it wouldn’t be an issue since the subtitles are named “e1, e2, etc”

    Why does YouTube keep recommending anti-Korea/Japan stories and pro-China stories from the South China Morning Post

    I never click on them and I don’t consume any other content related to those countries but every so often I’ll see an anti (those countries) headline in my feed and then the next few days will have pro occupied China stories

    It feels like targeted propaganda since I never see good stories about the other countries and it makes me wonder why YouTube hasn’t been broken up if they are too big to monitor that
