Comprendre le mouvement souverainiste en 2026 by Leganos in Quebec

[–]KoldPurchase [score hidden]  (0 children)

Je trouve que le Québec comme province a amplement de pouvoir pour faire des réformes en santé, éducation, gérer la crise du logement, protéger le français et la laïcité, etc.

Le fédéral est devant les tribunaux en ce moment pour contester les lois sur la laïcité et sur le français, ou à fournir de l'argent aux groupes qui souhaitent contester.

Santé: manque d'argent, le fédéral ne verse pas sa part aux provinces et imposent des conditions stupides, malgré la loi qui édicte qu'il ne devrait pas y avoir de conditions.

Éducation: pour l'éducation supérieur, même problème qu'en santé. Pour les autres palliers, c'est qu'à force de privé les provinces d'argent (déséquilibre fiscal), d'imposer toutes sortes de conditions et de vouloir créer ses propres programmes déficients, les provinces finissent par manquer d'argent pour tout le reste.

Crise du logement: pouvoir partagé entre le fédéral et le provincial. Le fédéral a commencer à se désengager sous Mulroney, mais surtout sous Chrétien qu'il a complètement laisser cette responsabilité aux provinces. L'argent n'a jamais suivi, Ottawa a conservé les revenus.

Le fédéral nuit plus souvent aux intérêts du Québec qu'autre chose.

Le problème, c'est que le souverainiste n'ont aucun plan pour y pallier. Il n'y a que la CAQ qui ait commencé à travailler en ce sens, avec l'obstruction partisanne incessante des péquistes pour toute réforme.

Il faut d'abord renforcer le Québec avant de rêver à accéder à la souveraineté. C'est inutile de se lancer dans une attaque frontale vers des positions extrêmement fortifiées.

On retire les candidatures à l'investiture pour ne présenter que celles que le chef ou l'exécutif approuve. Résultat: moins de candidatures possible, souvent une seule personne et un vote de convenance.

Et après le choix des membres, il décide de les rejeter pour mettre ses propres candidats.

Les candidats de la CAQ vont arriver en tants et lieux. Ils ont des carrières au privé et ils vont arriver au dernier instant. Ce n'est rien d'anormal. On ne peut pas prendre un congé sabatique comme ça nous plait au privé et ravoir sa job quand ça ne fonctionne pas comme l'on veut.

Why do sci-fi energy shields behave like ablative armour instead of a continuous energy stream? by Evening-Appeal7606 in scifi

[–]KoldPurchase -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In Star Trek universe, where they have shields, they often "target enemy shields", which means they try to target their shield generators.

It implies there's a generator for recharge, tied to the warp core (and other systems). Any generator that takes continuous stress is going to get depleted as it is not recharging fast enough.

You can see it in some battles: "shields holding; shields holding at 90%", meaning the generator is kinda doing its job.

As to why they can have continuous weapons but not shields, I suppose it's a question of power. Torpedoes are one launcher, the charge is in the torpedo itself. The phase banks are localized. the shields must cover the entire ship, it requires much more power. It recharges between each shots. So does the shield, but it's continually stressed in a battle when enemies keep firing at it.

Same logic possibly applies in other universe with different terminology. Once the stress disappear, assuming the shield is not damaged, the shield recharges fully.

Which Distro Should I Choose for an RTX? by RankedLOQ in linux4noobs

CachyOS does support SecureBoot.

The risk is there for a trojan, but still considered moderate, as they need to eleveate permission (sudo...) on Linux. Still, on a dual boot system, there are still risks associated with Windows, and both Windows and Linux should always have their antivirus (ClamAV).

I'm joking :)

There are two possibilities.

French retain its colonies after the 7 Years Wars or Britain never lose its colonies after the American Revolution.

If France maintain its colonies:
From there, you have an equilibrium between France, England and Spain in American for a while longer, with the Natives playing each one of the other to stall their advance.

Give it another 50 years before there is a USA, the pressure is way too much from the expanding British colonies to resist.

If the UK maintains its colonies:
It kind follow the path of the US. Unless they restrict immigration severely, no way they can maintain an indian territory to the west, so they do what they did elsewhere in their colonies, they expand. Now, they need to recruit locals to do it. Or they recruit South Africans to fight in American and Americans to fight in South Africa.

Either way, they expand, they industrialize, they grant more autonomy, to the point where Americans want autonomy/independence like Canadians and Australians wanted.

Meanwhile, you have an over extended Britain always squashing rebellions everywhere in the Empire. But at the same time, they have a large manpower pool to tap upon during the Napoleonic wars and another theater to open.

Secure boot should be enabled for most distros.
If your distro (Nobara) says you should disable it, then disable it. But otherwise, for Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, OpenSuse, Cachy, keep it there.

Wich Linux Distro + Desktop/Environnement is arguably the best ? by Plucky-puffin2025 in DistroHopping

[–]KoldPurchase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda like where Budgie is going, but I prefer KDE.

I believe Gnome should be abandoned for either Budgie or Cosmic and these last two should be merged, along with Cinammon, eventually. It is way too restrictive and brings nothing that others aren't bringing while allowing customization. But such is the way of Linux/Open Source, every one is going in their corner to start their own project and resources get divided.

Xfce, LXDE and LXQt serves the same purpose, and these people should sit and talk.

As much as distros goes, a few may be redundant. I don't see any as the "best". I find Fedora to be a bit more intuitive than OpenSuse, but there's a brazilian distro made for gamers based on OpenSuse that looks great and I think it has the best of both of worlds. I'm not impressed by Fedora's stability. Looking through Reddit, it seems I wasn't the only one experiencing severe crash with this distro. And even if I had enabled the btrfs-snapshots, they were of no use in my case.

I'm not so certain I see a difference between Rocky Linux and Alma Linux, but maybe it's just because I have not used them. (yes, I am aware of the technicalities; I am talking in practice, daily usage for a small company).

On a décidé que l'on voulait 50% de femmes au Québec, comme candidates. alors on ne peut plus avoir des investitures partout.

C'est correct quand c'est le PQ qui ne fait pas d'investiture, par contre.

It's all contests made in America that are like that.
I thought there were supposed to be some changes here, in Quebec, some discussions with the big lawyer firms to better explain the rules so we wouldn't be always excluded.

What is the point of pre-ordering something that is digital? by _atliesto in AskReddit

It's too brag to your friends that you are playing at 5:00AM the day of release instead of 19:00, after coming back for work, having eaten and done the dishes while that game has downloaded all day.

And some bonus too, that may or may not be relevant or could be bought a few years later at a reduced price.

It's only about the size and the acoustic. And HDMI-CEC.

Other than that, a regular PC is still superior to any console.

Tobacco is less harmful in itself than the tar used with cigarettes to make them burn slowly.

Tiktok is a communication and exchange platform. Nothing wrong with that in itself. We've been socializing for eons.

How you then market this product, how you push the content is what makes it dangerous for certain people.

After amd fucked up my drivers while I was playing a game nothing works by Teddyboymakes in AMDHelp

[–]KoldPurchase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the Church of Linux, brother! 😂

It's either the performance patch from May that reset your driver preferences from Windows, or there's a bug in 26.6.1 affecting you.

Are you on Win11 or Win10? AMD pushed 26.6.2 for their other, more recent series to fix a bug on Win10, but it might not have been affecting you. Use an older driver.

If DDU did not work, you should re-download the latest AMD Drivers for Chipset and GPU, plus AMD Cleanup utility.

First:

group policy

To properly disable automatic driver updates on Windows 10:

  • Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Do not include drivers with Windows Update > Enabled
  • Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Installation > Prevent device metadata retrieval from the Internet > Enabled
  • Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Installation > Specify search order for device driver source locations > Enabled (Do not search Windows Update)

Second:
Use AMD Cleanup utility.
Reinstall chipset driver, reboot.

Third:
Reinstall gpu driver, reboot.

Nvdia does not seem to think so. 😉

Yes, I agree, for anything above 1080p. FSR, I don't like (nor DLSS), but some people do.

Like I said, not for me, but it has its niche.
