I only use it for simple things

Pandoc, FFMpeg, ImageMagick

I have nothing to defend or of which to be the victim?

I’m not a fan of the NP or the Globe, but I still read the news. Sometimes I’m disappointed with the CBC. I like seeing other ideas, though. I like seeing how the news can spin and slant things. It is part of my work.

I didn’t mean to come off as a c-nt and make you waste you time with this long response.

I haven’t lived in Canada since around 2006. I try to keep up with the news because my family lives there and the talk about this all the time. I don’t use Google News, I don’t go on Reddit, and this article managed to make it’s way through the digestive track of the Internet to land in my feed, maybe on Mastodon.

So, I read it, and I was a little irked by the numbers. I shared it here and now I have the feedback I want.

It is heartwarming to be judged so immediately based solely on the source of something I shared. Lemmy is truly becoming Reddit.

Because I happened to be reading it and it is ok to read and share things from sources you don’t necessarily like.

Now’s that’s the title of a study I want to read:

What are y’all smoking?

Abstract: Akrasia + Social Media = WTF

True

Somebody did something inappropriate and culturally insensitive in the province of Alberta?

Not surprised.

(Now to read the article to see if there was a good reason)

Maple-washing works.

Doesn’t work well with my play style, and some of those Flatpak expansion sets are officially licensed.

CopyQ works good

Parcellite

ClipIt

Common Debian Swirl

Adds stability buff but forces user to wait 4 turns before enhancing any item, weapon or spell.

In case you’re wondering…

It is severely disturbing that such a group could exist on FB or anywhere and basically advertise their intentions to corrupt children…

Not exactly what you want, but FFmpeg can do waveforms

I do this for my partner’s podcast

I recognise some of the names. For sure Caribou deserves to be on the list.

I’ll throw out some names, but I’m not as up to date on Canadian music as I used to be.

She Told Me Where To Go by Old Man Luedecke has some great tracks and shows that just because you’re a folk artist doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with production and collaborations.

Rollercoaster by Cadence Weapon is great, as expected.

eNdgame by Cyberaktif isn’t amazing, but it was a nice surprise.

And Pub Royal by Les Cowboys Fringants. Beautiful work on that one. At least two of the songs make me cry. RIP Karl…

I think that’s all I got. Haven’t got around to the new Joel Plaskett but I think it’s just a rerecoding, Buck 65 hasn’t dropped anything this year, but all my old favourites are still out there makin tunes and that’s great!

Sick. In a very bad way. Very sick.

People will suffer. Then the law will protect the wrongdoer. Then come the vigilantes.

Hi

Did you remove wireguard the meta package or everything wireguard installed? I don’t know Pop but other distros install additional tools and configs like wireguard-dkms.

Also, if possible, after completely purging every wg you could try booting into a previous kernel on your system to see if that changes anything.

I teach university level (ages 17 and up).

Purely anecdotal, but I can confirm that I see instances of everything mentioned in this article on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis.

Students are more flippant and belligerent. They will go over your head and around your back to get excused for work. When they make a mistake, they find a way to blame it on the teacher.

I started teaching in 2006 and it was not like this. Blaming COVID and technology is easy. Blaming parents is easy. But, top-down decisions are another thing to look at. People who are no longer teaching are making teaching decisions in some instances, and disciplinary measures have been weakened. Students lawyer up in a heartbeat so we walk on eggshells.

Example: student cheats, uses ChatGPT or plagiarised something? I cannot say they cheated. That’s slander or libel. I have to get the documentalist to confirm and then the head of the programme will speak with the student. If the student admits, they get a mulligan, otherwise the student can appeal and that is a can if worms I don’t want to lear about.

If you’ve just installed Ubuntu, stick with it for a bit. Get things set up the way you like them. Make a mess if you must. But don’t switch because someone on the internet said one is better than the other. Lots of the Linux sites are just content farms (that 9to5 site) and copy other sites and then people read those and they suggest what they read.

Mint does have some bespoke tools that users like, but those tools can be installed on other distros.

Anyway. First, play around, make a mess, clean it up, get used to it. Then figure out how to backup the configs before you reinstall a new distro.

Other beginner distros are Zorin and Elementary.

I’m a Debian user myself, but I’ve been around and have tried many different distros, WMs, DEs, etc. over the past 19 years. Keep messing around and you’ll find your comfort zone.

I was going to share this earlier too. The CIJA sound like the type of organization that I would not take calls from (some of their press releases are head-scratchers…). The NDP even wiped her from the website. Twitter account and Facebook deleted.

Here are the two pieces of evidence:
