What do you suggest then? Because as of right now we pay some of the highest prices in th world for our telecom services. Allowing competitors to come in and seize a brand new (to them) market would 110% have a positive effect on customers
I don't hate the new logo, but I would have preferred they kept the italic l's
Yep 100%. On my Zenfone 8 at first I blocked the battery to 80% and quickly I found the battery got very short. All I had to do to fix the issue was a full battery cycle (100-0-100). What I noticed doing this is that it lasted for an absurd amount of time at 1% which indicates me that it was decalibrated. After the procedure the battery life was more at normal levels again
In GTK/GNOME apps this is remedied by scrolling your mouse wheel over the scrolling indicator (the small side bar that shows up while scrolling). It makes the scrolling much faster this way, but I agree it's not ideal and the windows behaviour is better UX wise
The problem is this only works in areas where the homeless aren't a majority of drug addicts. In North America this is infeasable they will piss and leave syringes everywhere. This just creates avoidable work for the people cleaning out this stuff.
Hey, thanks for the reply. I already feel better after sleeping. Not sure why I was in this weird spiral last night. I hope it doesn't happen again, that wasn't fun. For staying myself, it's actually the biggest reason I want to get in the new friend group. They just don't really judge people and will accept me for who I am. This is compared to the trump people who I had to change some things to kind of fit in.
For the gaming part, I think the big part of my issue is I don't outside enough. I need to see real actual people to feel like I did something with my day. During the winter I go more at the office for work and that already helps massively. Playing multiplayer games is something I enjoy, but I want to try to limit as much as I can because of that: it's the lazy option for me.
I will do this the next time I got to a rave with them. Will never try the drugs though, those scare me to death. Some people in my group told me once they bought some that they didn't end up taking so they tested it the next day, and it turns out it contained fentanyl. So yeah. Will avoid them haha. Especially since I don't feel like I need them to talk with people. After a good night of sleep I also feel a lot better now, I don't really know what was going on in my head yesterday but it was really preventing me from sleeping. Never happened to me. Maybe this was because I spent a good part of my day at the shopping mall (not many things I hate more)
Thx!
It was great. I'm in Montreal and I hear we have one of the best ones in the world here. Definitely want to try it out.
Hey, thanks for the reply. I still live with my parents and I have a good relationship with everyone in my family. I have never felt at ease discussing how I felt about personal stuff with people. I have no idea why. I always keep it inside me. I will try to make an effort and talk to my mother about this... I might also add that maybe I am feeling this way because it's late today and I am tired (and my mind is going crazy thinking about my situation today, not sure why, doesn't happen usually). On another note, I have the day off tomorrow because I have an activity with a friend, so not bad for a Monday! For the parties, I will try to strengthen the link with my newer friends to 1. Replace the trumpist ones that don't even consider me apart of the group (🖕🖕🖕🖕) and 2. to get included as part of their group. For the hobby part the problem is I don't really have a hobby. I really like cars and mechanics, but that is a lonely hobby as well and I don't want a car because I think they are stupid for city life (and not worth the trouble). Dating apps I could try, but I would prefer without. I think they have the potential to do more bad than good especially in terms of self-confidence.
Anyways thx for your reply, it's motivating to see I can get out of it. I feel like I'm on a good path since I met the new people. Maybe I just want things to move faster than they can. Time will tell I guess
Thanks, this is really good advice. I will try to find something before Christmas period is over because I assume it could be worse after having a good time with my family.
Hey all
I want to write down some of my feelings as of recently. This post may be a bit messy and badly formatted, I apologize. Let me first introduce myself: I am a 20yo man in Canada. I recently this year got my first "career" (programming) job with a very nice team. I am very introverted and have always been. I also have a second job on one day of the weekends because I truly love it and it makes me get out of my home, it's a very fun place to work at and the customers and colleagues are awesome people. I was in school during the pandemic (I was 16 at the time of the lockdowns) and during that time I just spent all day on YouTube or Reddit or whatever. Did nothing productive. Because of this I've never had a girlfriend or good memories of my last high school years.
Fast forward 4 (5) years and I seem to have kept this attitude of laziness. I feel like I wasted so much of my teenage years and that I've missed out on so much stuff. That combined with my programming job keeping me in front of a screen all day makes me so fucking sad. Especially because most of the time I work remotely. Feels like shit when you're done with your day and the only thing that you want to do is to scroll instagram or Lemmy or YouTube.
I know part of the reason that I feel this way is because it's November and the winter is coming and fuck the winter. The night starts at 4PM. During the summer at least after my day was done, I would go out on a walk for 1h with my camera and take pictures od stuff I found interesting. Now I can't do that because the sun sets before I'm even done with my day.
It just feels like I don't have a purpose/objective in life. I don't have any non-material objectives. And also I don't want any material objectives because this means this will push me into a grind mindset that will keep me inside even more.
I have very little good friends, and I can't say I'm really close to them yet. I am trying to separate from my high school friend group who turned ultra méga Maga trumpists recently. Last week I went to a rave with very nice people and mutual friends that I felt a connection with, but it feels like those people will be rave-friends that I don't see outside of these specific events. I think I am that "secondary" friend, I am not anyone's best friend nor do I have a best friend. The worst part of seeing people irl at events for me is the crash after I go back home. It feels even worse to be alone after having an good time with people. I also feel like I have trouble finding people like me.
Maybe I lack some social clues or intuition to get closer to people. I don't get invited when something is in planning a part from my family. Maybe if I get closer to the new-ish people that I was with at the rave they will start to consider me more, but I have no clue how. They are great people but there is not much that we can relate with, they are more in art fields and I am more tech oriented. But also I don't want to be friends with people who only are obsessed with tech because those people are also like me and don't go outside. And I also don't want to seem like that one obsessive person that doesn't let you go. I dont have many people that I talk with so sometimes for me it feels like I may be trying to reach to them too much and I may be bothering them.
My week programming job, I like it, and I like the people I work with. But I just can't feel like I enjoy doing it. I really can't see myself sustaining 45 more years of this every single day. It's rare that after I close the lid of my work computer that I feel happy about my day. It happens but it's rare. I dont feel motivated to do stuff that I like. I don't even really enjoy programming anymore. Before I used to always be coding something or playing with my server but now I don't want to after spending my day doing exactly that but for making someone else rich. I am starting to think that working in my passion field might have been a very bad idea because I have lost one of my biggest interest points.
I don't know what to do. Maybe I could consult to get formal mental help, but I would rather try things on my own first. I don't think I am in a "true" depression because I actually do stuff and want to do stuff. I don't have dark thoughts or anything. It's more that I am not happy with the state of my life currently. I am not sad, but also I am not happy either.
Sorry again if my text is a bit badly worded, English isn't my main language and it's late Thank you for reading this
When will phone manufacturers stop using mAh as a metric for the battery size? It doesn't mean anything without the voltage that the battery runs at. Just give me the watt-hour number
I agree that some people like you may not be fit for the current way of doing things in terms of job research. But you have to remember that being socially able is also a very important part of the job at most companies, because very rare are the cases where you don't work as part of a team. I would even say communication is a bigger part of the job compared to the actual brute skill for most companies. You can always learn or perfect a new programming language or platform, it's a matter of reading. Soft skills like social abilities cant really be learned, and so this is why a lot of companies actually choose people who they think will fit in a team rather that who will close the most issues
A rental tax credit would likely result in money laundering schemes. For example you're a Mafia boss and you purchase a building with very expensive appartment rents and people that you pay to "pay" you the rent. Then that money is magically clean and tax free
He want to add tarrifs and he is also asking Trump to remove government subsidies on new EV purchases, raising the barrier to entry in the US for EVs
In Canada from what I've seen it's most often than not +5-10% over the speed you're paying for. For example with a 400mbps plan you will get about 450 when plugged in
Every time I use python it makes me want to throw my computer through my window. Doesn't happen with other languages. Pip fucking sucks it seems like every time I want to install dependencies for a project there is one that throws a compilation error when installing it. Like, why does it not try to download the version of the package that works with my version of python?? It doesn't even tell me why it failed!!!
Un projet de loi en ce sens sera déposé mercredi à l’Assemblée nationale.
> Après avoir fait adopter une motion — puis donné son accord à une autre — pour forcer la divulgation de la documentation de la commission d’enquête Grenier, le PQ estime ne pas avoir d’autre option que d’emprunter la voie législative. L’élu Bérubé déposera mercredi un projet de loi pour obliger le DGEQ à rendre disponibles rapidement les informations dont il dispose à ce sujet. > >[...] > >Le texte législatif porté par M. Bérubé — promis depuis l’an dernier — prévoit la divulgation des documents seulement aux parlementaires, qui « s’assureraient de respecter la confidentialité » et se « donneraient les plus hauts critères pour regarder ce qui s’y trouve ». Ce sont eux qui décideraient ensuite ce qui mérite d’être diffusé publiquement et ce qui mérite de rester confidentiel.
Hi all
I've been a touchpad user for a long time with Linux, I love the gestures and I think the 3-finger GNOME ones are even better than the ones on my MacOS work computer (which have a weird delay when switching workspaces, but thats besides the point). Thats to say, I use Firefox and GTK4 apps when I can because they implement kinetic scrolling in a very smooth and satisfying way.
Now comes the problems, applications using Chromium/Electron all have a very janky kinetic scroll implementation. They are all way too fast, and thats when the kinetic scroll is enabled manually in the settings. Does anyone know of a way to reduce that speed? Or even better, if someone has links to issues that I can track that aim to improve the kinetic scrolling implementation, and its default setting status (when its going to be enabled as default), I would appreciate it a lot!
BTW, if some of you are interested, I made this small website some time ago to track the status touchpads on Linux: https://arewescrollingyet.com/. If someone has issues for chromium I will gladly add it to the site
Like... In my opinion, a hole is when it does not go through, and when it does, it becomes a tunnel. A straw is a tunnel. A hole in a piece of paper is a tunnel. A bowl is a hole.
La proportion de travailleurs qui se disent stressés financièrement est en hausse au Canada, mais en baisse au Québec.
Je savais que les Québécois étaient en général légèrement meilleurs en termes d'épargne que le reste du Canada et surtout des USA, mais pas à ce point. Cool!

Hello all, for a few weeks/months now, my computer has stopped going into suspend mode. Here is what happens when putting it to sleep (using GNOME's power menu) or using systemctl suspend:
- Display turns off, peripherals turn off (keyboard lights off etc), fans spin up before sleep as usual
- Fans go back to idle speed, computer stays on
- Have to press the keyboard, wake the display up and go in the power menu again to suspend it (from the lock screen), and it works every time like this.
I have no idea what could be preventing suspend and what I could find online did not really help a lot. I don't think it is a USB device because I tried unplugging most of them except my mouse or my keyboard and it still did not work, and the second time on the lock screen it always suspends like intended

Avec ce très attendu projet de loi, Québec veut diminuer la consommation d’électricité en période de pointe.
Vous en pensez quoi de ce projet de loi? Personnellement ça fait juste me donner l'illusion que Fitzgibbon est encore plus un magouilleur qui a des chums à rendre heureux... C'est pas le pire projet de loi du monde, mais il donne plus de libertés au privé ce qui me semble être une pente très glissante.

UPDATE IN COMMENTS!!
>Hey there, I don't know if any of you noticed something similar recently, but I have noticed my cursors have gone HUGE, like 2x what it should be at least. I think this is related to the affected apps using a beta version of Libadwaita 1.6, but I just wanted to confirm here before I create an issue in the repo. I use 200% scaling, GNOME 45, Fedora 39. Does anybody else have this problem?

How it should look (in Pods, firefox and most other apps)
How it looks in Ptyxis
How it looks in Adwaita Demo (latest update, which bumped the libadwaita version to 1.6)
Rockstar has revealed the GTA 6 trailer earlier than expected, probably because it was leaked on Twitter. I think it looks amazing!!
I can't wait to see what the community does with the images and what we will know almost for sure before the release
Québec, le 23 octobre 2023 — Le Chef du Parti Québécois, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, a dévoilé ce matin le contenu des finances d’un Québec souverain et du budget de l’an […]
C'est surprenant que je publie ça a voir mon pseudo...
Voici un court résumé tiré de la page web: > #### LE QUÉBEC INDÉPENDANT EN BREF > - Des revenus récupérés, dès l’exercice financier de 2024, de 82,3 G$ ; > - Des gains d’efficacité en éliminant les chevauchements de 8,8 G$ ; > - La péréquation est une illusion de dépendance, le Québec reçoit au net 9,6 G$, bien moins que ce que François Legault avance ; > - Pour le ratio dette/PIB des engagements bruts, en 2e position du G7 et largement en dessous de la moyenne. Seule l’Allemagne ferait mieux ; > - Pour les engagements nets, en 3e position du G7, avec une dette nette nettement inférieure à celle de la moyenne ; > - L’étude pro forma du Parti québécois est vérifiée par six économistes.>>>>
De nouvelles révélations au sujet d’une unité ultrasecrète créée au sein du cabinet du premier ministre Pierre Elliott Trudeau pour espionner les souverainistes québécois témoignent de l’ampleur de ce qu’on ignore encore concernant la réponse d’Ottawa au mouvement indépendantiste.
Grâce à une décision récente du CRTC, deux nouveaux fournisseurs pourraient percer le marché canadien de la téléphonie.
A chaque fois que je vois les prix en Europe, (spécifiquement les prix de téléphonie et d'internet...) je me fais rappeler à quel point notre système est con de pas afficher le prix incluant les taxes. Ça sert juste a donner une impression que quelque chose est moins cher qu'il ne l'est réellement . Pis c'est pas comme si on en est pas capables, la SAQ affiche très bien le prix incluant les taxes.
Est-ce que quelqu'un ici sait si ya déja eu des projets de loi pour que tous les frais et taxes soient inclus dans le prix affiché? Il me semble que ça serait le genre de chose que l'OPC ferait.
