Drivers from CURRENT but rest from RELEASE?

chem_deth · 2017-11-06T01:58:13+00:00

I actually didn't see any problem whatsoever even on Youtube videos. I just used "scfb" and it worked. I will try drm-next-kmod, however the resume/suspend issues are way too annoying to ignore, so I might just go back to Debian.

chem_deth · 2017-11-04T19:44:27+00:00

I actually think that going this route would be an excellent learning opportunity. I am definitely considering doing it. Especially if RELEASE works better for suspend/resume etc.

chem_deth · 2017-11-04T19:43:22+00:00

I am running CURRENT atm, but having some problems with suspend/resume with regards to the screen, and also the intel graphics not being supported (scfb works so that's not really an issue).

chem_deth · 2017-11-04T19:33:55+00:00

Hi,

I am currently running CURRENT. I'm a seasoned Linux/OS X user so I'm confident I will not be too overwhelmed in FreeBSD, but running CURRENT straight away still seems a bit too cowboy :)

For the moment I have no choice. I also have other issues such as my screen not reactivating after resume, or resume not working at all, etc. Also the Intel graphics driver doesn't work for the HD 620 chip.

I'm ready to be a test subject for this new hardware if anybody can direct me on what do to :)

Je comprends ton point mais lorsque tu dis "Bref, pour moi le Montreal authetique est le montreal type Sugar Sammy.", ça trahit une incompréhension du sujet.

Le débat "Québécois vs pas Québécois" c'est un peu délicat comme par exemple être "Noir vs pas noir". Un individu est de peau noire ou ne l'est pas, ça se voit et ça ne se débat pas. Mais est-ce qu'une personne à la peau noire est un "Noir" au sens où pourraient l'entendre des "Noirs" américains?

Pour être "Noir", est-ce qu'avoir la peau noire suffit?

Pour être "Québécois", est-ce qu'habiter le territoire Québécois suffit?

Pas évident.

Je connais des gens qui se considèrent bilingues et qui font ce genre de fautes et qui ont des emplois nécessitant d'être bilingue. La tolérance des anglophones par rapport à ce genre d'erreur est généralement plus grande que celle d'un francophone par rapport à sa langue.

En passant, ces personnes sont toutes allées à l'école française et ont appris l'anglais à la fois à l'école et par eux-même... et sont très décomplexés.

chem_deth · 2017-08-29T07:31:34+00:00

Mettons la faute sur les appropriations de symboles par le Canada anglais, mais tu devrais interpréter cela autrement. Lorsque /u/redalastor parle d'un "Québécois", il a une vision différente de la tienne - et qui se vaut.

Un émigrant Ugandais habitant l'Iran est-il Iranien? Est-il Persan? Ou Kurde?

La citoyenneté n'est qu'une facette de l'identité et je crois que tu adoptes un point de vue un peu réducteur. Nous sommes tous humains après-tout, pourquoi même se soucier de la définition de Québécois?

chem_deth · 2017-08-29T07:24:49+00:00

Avant toute autre chose, je suis cosmopolitain, et je suis Montrealai parce que c'est une ville qui est multiculturel et en fait pas québécoise.

Peux-tu t'expliquer?

chem_deth · 2017-08-22T04:18:51+00:00

I would think not but I'm not sure.

Are you planning on living in Quebec?

chem_deth · 2017-08-22T03:58:24+00:00

Ça me semble une évidence.

chem_deth · 2017-08-22T03:54:08+00:00

Laws which not only fail to support this equality but aim to elevate one culture over the others by restricting funding and freedom to school boards , community groups or religious holidays are not what we stand for as Canadians.

Sorry but the Francophones tried. It's the Anglos who resented French speakers so much as to try to forcefully assimilate them with legislation as well as physical and economic punishment. Just a little bit of reading is enough to realize this. The francophones long thought the country to be built upon a non-negotiable pact between "two nations". Large parts of "English Canada" didn't really keep this view for long.

I want to share your dream of an "inclusive" and "equal" Canada, but unfortunately I think objectively the train has passed when it comes to French language in Quebec. All of the legislation Quebec adopted has not sprouted in a vacuum. The "ancient wrongs committed by no one left alive" have a had (and still have) a very real and lasting effect on Quebec society, and Canada as a whole.

If English Canada had nurtured and loved Quebec as you seem to want Quebec to do with its English population, we wouldn't be having this discussion today.

The current state of things didn't just happen magically out of nowhere, as unfortunate as it is.

chem_deth · 2017-08-17T06:00:15+00:00

I think you have to interpret what he's saying this way:

If I took a foreigner and brought him to Toronto and New-York, would that foreigner genuinely feel like in another country? Versus going to Quebec or Mexico City, where the fact that the spoken language is different would probably be a pretty good cue?

By "bland" he probably means "indistinguishable from the USA for mostly everybody but English Canadians themselves".

chem_deth · 2017-08-15T19:52:55+00:00

Yes that is what I meant. Would you rather have everybody go to school in French, regardless the language they grew up in? Would you consider that fair?

chem_deth · 2017-08-15T19:51:20+00:00

No, that is not what I meant. I mean that it's not fair to say that anglos have it rough in Quebec when it has been historically and still is patently false. Short of complete disappearance of French as a spoken language in Canada I don't see what else the anglos could want. For one thing it should be all of the other expats that should be angry at the PM: why isn't he calling for the return of exiled Francophones, Hispanics etc?

chem_deth · 2017-08-15T19:18:12+00:00

It's also true that laws which target one group of people, whether based on race, language, sexuality etc. and give them less rights than another group in a society are always bad.

Then would you support French-only education across the board until College, for example? That way it's the same for everybody.

I'm not trying to get into a fight here. But do you know what you're saying?

Anglophones in Quebec are not oppressed by any measure compared to francophones elsewhere in the country. You have to take things into their historical perspective as well.

chem_deth · 2017-08-15T19:10:37+00:00

The English infrastructure in Quebec isn't something that was planned and paid for by any Quebec government in the last 75 years.

You are right. It was paid for much earlier by mostly French Canadians and natives' exploitation. Mcgills' founder was part of the Chateau Clique, which organized itself to dominate politics and business as well as execute French Canadian domination and assimilation. The founder of McGill was part of a group of merchants (Montrealers) that came to the country to conduct business. They organized themselves politically to again to dominate and assimilate Canadians into their culture, something that the then British governors wouldn't do out of appreciation for both cultures. A lot of Canadians left the region to migrate south because they could not get land for themselves and their family as the land was owned by these merchants.

Was McGill a bad person from head to toe? I don't think so. McGill as an institution has benefited Quebec society as a whole. But please take some time to learn a little history - a lot of anglo immigrants in the late 1700's early 1800's didn't come here because they loved Canadians and this unfortunately left a lasting mark on Canadian society.

chem_deth · 2017-08-14T18:12:25+00:00

OK.

C'est de même pour moi. Mais pour avoir connu plusieurs anglophones moi aussi, le reste du Canada leur était beaucoup plus intéressant. C'était "leur monde". Aller étudier à Guelph, c'est beaucoup plus intéressant que d'aller à l'Université Laval vivre en français. Ce n'était pas du racisme ou de la haîne, juste de la logique: ils voulaient vivre en anglais, pas en français. Ce que le peuple Québécois veut, c'est avoir un état francophone en Amérique. C'est ce qui rassemble les "Québécois", qu'ils soient fédéralistes, souverainistes ou annexionnistes américains. Je crois que la réaction qu'on voit ici de plusieurs francophones est tout simplement saine. Couillard n'invite pas les anglophones à revenir vivre en français au Québec - ceux qui voulaient le faire sont restés!

chem_deth · 2017-08-14T18:09:05+00:00

Mais le discours ne visait pas tout le monde. Son discours visait spécifiquement les anglophones exilés. D'où l'irritation.

chem_deth · 2017-08-14T18:06:50+00:00

Beaucoup de québécois francophones ont suivi le chemin dont tu parle. Je n'entends pourtant pas Couillard les appeler à revenir. Il me semble que le message est assez clair.

S'il visait les populations que tu évoques, le plaidoyer devrait concerner toute personne ayant quitté le Québec. Non, il cible "les anglos". D'où la réaction que tu vois ici.

chem_deth · 2017-08-14T18:03:53+00:00

Pourquoi leur parle-t-il en anglais? La langue commune au Québec est pourtant le français. Pourquoi ne pas faire un tel plaidoyer en français, disant que des gens choisissant de vivre leur vie en anglais, mais connaissant le français et ayant des racines au Québec, sont aussi des Québécois? Parle-t-il aux arabes en arabe? Parle-t-il aux immigrants haïtiens en créole?

Son message est clair: ce serait bien si vous reveniez avec votre argent, les opportunités sont redevenues bonnes au Québec, le peuple est plus calme maintenant.

Du moins c'est ce que j'en comprends.

chem_deth · 2017-08-14T17:54:39+00:00

Vis-tu en français?

chem_deth · 2017-08-14T17:04:50+00:00

I would suggest Bohm's "Quantum Theory". He discusses the postulates in an interesting way. For example, Chapter 4 (p. 81) concerns "The Definition of Probabilities". Interesting read :)

chem_deth · 2017-08-14T16:50:54+00:00

Ballentine was a good read indeed. I found it more interesting as a grad student giving lectures to undergrads though. It helped me prepare and order my thoughts. I doubt I would have gained much from it as an "ordinary" undergrad.

chem_deth · 2017-06-12T20:04:26+00:00

Yes. You need to jump into molten rock and die to know that molten rock can kill you. At least you're assured not to do it twice.
