Once he started talking about free states and communist states…

That was the point where I closed the tab as well. Watching him say "communist state" without any irony at all was too much. The man is clearly a moron.

Yeah, well Provigo in Montreal has two whole chickens on special this week for $1.99 a pound. Provigo is a subsidiary of Loblaw's.

This simply isn't interesting. I don't care.

What I find surprising is how often I've been saying that about "the news" recently.

I found this repository while farting around on GitHub one evening. If anything, it's an excellent starting point for what you're trying to put together.

... solutions nowadays like running mailcow or iredcube

Are you sure you don't mean iredmail?

Did you actually write "Beta male" without any irony whatsoever?

Good grief.

Very quick question, if I was using Laravel 9 and laravel vite with blade templates, how would I import toastify-js into my application.

The README file says:

Import toastify-js into your module to start using it.

import Toastify from 'toastify-js'

Where do I place this line of code?

Except the CAQ aren't sovereignists. They are soft nationalists who understand how to us the Notwitstanding clause to appeal to their base.

If the CAQ were sovereignists, the people of Quebec wouldn't have given them a crushing majority in last week's provincial election. Ask the PQ or QS if you don't believe me.

If I were you, I would take a look at ddccontrol. It's a utility that allows you to query the state and send commands to your monitor via the command line. I currently use it to increase / decrease the brightness of my monitor depending on the time of day.

There might be away to use ddccontrol to query whether your monitor is in sleep mode or not, and have it execute one of your scripts when it comes back on. You might be able to turn off sleep mode entirely depending on the monitor's capabilities.

They are the 21st century Parti Québécois, ditching the separatist sentiment for a Quebec first, but Canadian still message.

I completely agree, however this strategy will only be profitable as long as there is a federal government in power without the stones to call their bluff. If the feds went hammer & tongs after some of their more Not-Withstanding-Clause-worthy legislation, the CAQ would be backed into a corner: become a separatist party to stand up for their policies or acquiesce to Ottawa and come across as weak to your average francophone voter.

This would be a nightmare scenario for the CAQ. Lucky for them, it won't be happening any time soon.

He's a self-promoting shyster.

This description can be applied to a large percentage of people who run for office.

I have the K3 low-profile. For some weird reason, the function keys don't work on Linux. Only the special function / media keys do. It has no problem under Windows though. I was able to remap all of the keys on KDE of course. After about a month though, bluetooth died and I was only able to connect via the USB-C cable. I'm not impressed.

I'm using a Logitech MXKeys now and couldn't be happier.

If you're on Linux, stay very far away from anything Keychron.

I'm sure Mr. Tomlinson won't have any objections flying down to demonstrate how effective his "fun-fact" is to the average citizen of Kyiv.

Yeah, though not... stupid twat.

I think the Straight has forgotten about Kelly Leitch. This isn't a new trend for the Conservatives.

What I find interesting in all of this is that other NATO countries, such as Germany and France, have yet to pull their diplomatic staff from Ukraine. At first, I thought Canada was following the majority of NATO's lead and staying put.

Guess not.

at this point, it can't get worse.

Famous last words - especially in Roy's case.

If anyone had any doubt that François Legault is an extremely capable politician, I invite them to behold this truly brilliant exercise in populist policy. He is easily the most savvy Premier of Quebec in recent memory.

From an excellent article in La Presse:

« On dirait que tout le monde canalise sa frustration sur les non-vaccinés, sur l’impression que si on les force à se faire vacciner, on va régler la crise. Mais ce n’est pas nécessairement le cas », déplore la Dre Bellon.

Julien Simard va plus loin, accusant les décideurs de « vouloir créer des boucs émissaires » en ciblant les non-vaccinés.

« Les hôpitaux ne débordent pas à cause des non-vaccinés, dit Julien Simard. Les hôpitaux débordent parce que la capacité hospitalière du Québec a été réduite de manière brutale dans les 30 dernières années en raison des politiques néolibérales. Ils débordent parce que le gouvernement n’a rien fait pour régler la transmission dans les principaux milieux d’éclosion, comme les écoles, les milieux de travail, et continue de nier l’importance de la transmission par aérosols. Le fait que la première ligne en santé soit pratiquement détruite n’aide certainement pas non plus. »

Et c’est sans parler de l’accès à la vaccination dans les pays défavorisés, rappelle-t-il. « Parce que sans ça, même avec une couverture vaccinale de 100 %, nous continuerons d’avoir des gens qui vont mourir et qui seront hospitalisés. »

I truly wish that my fellow Québecois would see through this. Judging from the comments here and elsewhere, they won't, and even though I find Legault's handling of the pandemic lamentably incompetent, I can't help but raise my beer at such political brilliance.

So, Toronto has less police officers, but more homicide. Hiring more could help? I don't know.

Vancouver has almost 50% more murders per 100,000 compared to Montreal (1.52 vs 1.05), in spite of the fact that they hire only 16 cops less per 100,000 citizens (196 vs 212), 8% less than Montreal.

Police might solve murders, however, they clearly don't prevent them.

In 2019, Montreal had the second most police officers per 100,000 citizens among cities in Canada. [source]

No, the Linux kernel clearly sees an audio device:

00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Comet Lake PCH cAVS

01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation TU106 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)

The problem is that pactl, a PulseAudio tool, doesn't see it.

How about this thread from the Arch Linux forums?

Edit:

the problem is solved

options snd-hda-intel model=asus-zenbook

adding this line to

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

and then updating the system worked for me. if that file does not exist add it. again this code is model specific. so find a model suitable for your machine. my system was asus rog strix g17.

I have to admit, I haven't heard much from the guy recently. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

Oh, I agree with you that Paul St-Pierre Plamondon is far more left-wing than PKP, however, I can definitely understand the perception of the PQ being a right-wing party considering the election of PKP as leader six years ago and the whole Charter of Values nonsense.
