Kubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Hassle free, easy to use and the desktop environment closely resembles Windows.

Yeah. Couldn’t hurt.

Unfortunately no, that isn’t the case. Some countries do, some don’t. It’s not a requirement.

If it can bring more holidays and better working conditions, then I’m all in.

4 weeks minimum paid vacations would be hella nice.

That’s not inherently bad. With Flatpak, you can pull your applications from any server, without any verification that the software hasn’t been tampered with. At least with Snap there is some control over that, no?

Also, I can’t tell you how many times flatpaks failed to download due to server errors. This hasn’t hasn’t happened with Snaps yet.

For the record, I do prefer Flatpaks over Snaps for its ease of use, access controls, and control over when I update my software. This is something I have found difficult with Snaps.

Oh man. I caught it earlier this year in January and it wrecked me. I’ve never been this sick, not even from COVID.

High fever, chills, chest congestion. I was in bed for a few days just shaking from the chills. Had no appetite. Ended up going to the emergency for a general respiratory infection. I was coughing up body mucous and my head was splitting from the stuffy sinuses.

I’m getting the vaccine this fall as soon as it’s availabile. I don’t want to go through that again.

Nice. Already registered.

Is there a recommended android app for it?

I just saw the FAQ section after.

Bottles is the way. You can set up bottles (Wine prefixes, or environments) with predefined libraries and Proton for games. You simply run the installer through the GUI or add a shortcut to the executable.

Those are some very good points. You’re making me question my perspective.

First of all, education in Québec is heavily subsidized by Québec taxpayers. It’s only natural that the Québécois get their money’s worth by paying less. Anyone from outside Québec, should pay more in my opinion.

And as far as French goes, if anyone intends on graduating in Québec and staying for work should learn the local language. Not only to better integrate in Québec’s francophone population, but also for better job prospects.

I’d like to hear from others about this.

Like that’s going to stop people from celebrating. What a moron.

It still sucks though. It really makes lgbtq people feel unwelcome in society.

Great! Now increase it 1% for the top earners.

Yeah, Carney is a small c conservative. That’s why.

Ouf…

Yeah that’s my problem with this. The laws definitely can be abused. You think you can trust the government, but can you trust the police? Because in the end, they’re the ones who will be doing the abuse.

And if you eventually don’t like the government that’s in power, and want to protest and act against it, that’s when these laws turn against you.

We definitely should not sacrifice our privacy, rights, and freedoms in exchange for security. We learned that in 2001 after 9/11 and we shouldn’t make the same mistake again just to make Trump happy.

Ah there we go. Now I understand what you mean. Thank you!

As far as postal stuff goes, don’t they only have the right to open packages, but not letters? And I don’t think they have the right to get all our digital personal information either. At least not like they do in the U.S. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

The “unreasonable” part of Section 8 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is what protects us, but that doesn’t apply if you’re under investigation for crimes and stuff like a computer needs to be accessed as part of that investigation.

It does apply. A warrant is required for confiscating and searching mail and computer equipment. It sounds here like it won’t be required.

I will repeat that the Canadian Government isn’t spewing the same vitriol against immigrants as the American Government, so neither the wording nor the content of the bill suggests some military backed deportation scheme.

Maybe not, but it lays the ground for it though.

In any case, as the guy mentioned, the bill isn’t ALL bad. But there are some sections that can be worrisome and prone to exploitation.

I went to Toronto last week for the first time since 2012. There are a LOT more cyclists on the road. Especially on rent-a-bikes. It’s incredible how the city changed in that way.

I don’t understand. Prove what? It’s a bill. It’s not passed into law yet. He’s explaining how, if voted into law, these could be applied.

Like the opening and searching of your mail and your personal electronic data without a warrant.

That breaks article 8 of the charter of rights and freedoms.

8. Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.

Or deporting asylum seekers just because they’ve been in the country for a year on a visa. As written in the bill, if someone’s been in Canada for a year ans a war breaks out in their country, they’d get deported without any question.

I don’t know why you’re asking for proof. Do you not understand English?

The guy in the video makes some very good points though, don’t you think? If this bill gets voted into law, it only takes on bad agent or bad government to exploit those laws against the people.

Linux Mint feels quirky to me. It’s an Ubuntu flavor, but not quite? Because it gets rid of a few Ubuntu things.
