The Ontario government says Ryan Amato has twice refused to share any emails — and it can't compel him to do so in response to a Star FOI request.
I thought this was about ending the practice of moving the clock back and forth twice a year, but no, it's just about soon moving the clock
“TD Bank created an environment that allowed financial crime to flourish,” Garland said. “By making its services convenient for criminals, it became one.”
I hope no one indeed will be "off limits" in the criminal investigation, let's see...
I agree. I love Mastodon's calm columnar UI with lists and hashtags where I feel I'm in control of my experience, and that I can just stop whenever and come back in three days.
I finally got around to installing OpenMW - it looks much better! Thanks again
City council’s audit committee voted Tuesday to end the payment system that uses technology from U.S.-based PayIt next year.
I agree with you, I'm also missing context. I agree this looks very fishy for the police to be paying her a visit with the "you are walking a line" comment, but without knowing all the details, I'm reluctant to jump into definitive conclusions. I really hope this story gets picked up by media so we at least get that side as well, however imperfect it might be.
Agreed, no big deal. But YouTubers who knew about it before this controversy will typically use the intended pronouncing, and it's easy to spot those who didn't care much about it until this all started.
It sounds like G-DOUGH.
This never crossed my mind, but you are right. Online interactions do lack a lot of context, and it must have been hard (or practically impossible) to discern genuine from malicious calls to remain apolitical in a situation of intense online harassment.
This is evident in a few ways:
- How they subtly or glaringly misunderstand what it is and what it does
- How they call it "a company"
- How they pronounce it as GO-DOT
20% by 20%, the progress bar of me agreeing with this assessment went to a 100% as I was reading it.
“A few stakeholders were concerned that the release of the report would result in new legal action (criminal prosecution, citizen revocation, or otherwise) being brought against the individuals named in the report,”

Just forwarded this pic to my dad. I'll be guiding him in installing Mint on one of his old Windows desktops this coming Saturday! Wish us luck in the coming years 😂
My situation exactly, and I'm very happy with it. M2 with its speed and long battery life compensates well for some unconfigurable behaviours in MacOS that I have minor gripes with, and for gaming and general Linux goodness, Steam Deck to the rescue.
Wow, thanks, I'll try this!
I'm using Vanilla, but AFAIK modded would work just as well. The key for playing old, pre-controller games meant for big monitors on the Deck are two features: Stream Input and Native Zoom. I always map one of the back buttons (usually) to Toggle Zoom.
Please post about your experience with modded Morrowind, I might want to try that too!
Darkest Dungeon, Black Reliquary, Pillars of Eternity, Cloudpunk, Pathfinder 2, Divinity 2 Original Sin, Slay the Spire, Witcher 1 and 3, Morrowind, Oblivion, Torment, to name just a few...
This is informative on the differences between the ActivityPub any AT protocols: https://youtu.be/-R9CWq5CBlk?si=BzW7c5U0WXH8VxrO
The intro explains some history and things which ppl here probably already know, but overall I find it provides a pretty good analysis of the current social media landscape, and these two protocols in particular.
Interesting perspective. It implies that:
- The value of their policy work is significantly below the technical community's contributions value
- There is perceived status to be gained by climbing this particular social ladder.
I neither agree or disagree fully, but I believe there is value in good governance of large and diverse projects.
Whether their governance is good is what this whole kerfuffle is all about.
Searching some of these Python Community discussions separately and reading how they handled these bumps in the road as a group has actually increased my confidence in that group as a whole:
https://discuss.python.org/t/three-month-suspension-for-a-core-developer/60250
https://discuss.python.org/t/calling-for-a-vote-of-no-confidence/61557
On the other hand, the three month suspension of Tim Peters that started it all and how that was handled sounds problematic (the second half of the essay addresses each point from the original banning rationale in detail):

Finally, Chris McDonough (the author of the above article) drawing attention to valid criticism of his own defense of Tim Peters is a blueberry on top of the cherry on the cake:

I hope the community ends up stronger as a result of this.
U pravu je Vučić kad kaže da nisu sve zemlje uvek bile bogate i sve uvek siromašne. Samo što su na čelu zemalja koje su „proklete“ resursima obično autoritarne i korumpirane vlasti u službi transnacionalnih korporacija.

Dear OSC community, You may be aware of recent developments regarding the dissolution of Open Collective Foundation (OCF) by the end of the year 2024. We are extremely sad to hear the news and are still processing it, but we wanted to send...

Michael Rice, who became a central character in the Ford government’s Greenbelt scandal, is being sued by his former associate.
"Fenwick invested $3.5 million into buying the $7.4-million property in 2007, making him the largest shareholder. He alleges that after more than a decade of minimal activity, Rice suddenly called a meeting in June 2021. He says Rice urged him and the other investors to take advantage of a “spike” in demand for industrial property by selling the land, adding that it could take another decade for the municipality to build sewer and water services, and developing the property privately would yield a low return on their investment."

The Supreme Court of Canada began hearing arguments Tuesday on whether courts in Canada should be able to conduct secret off-the-books trials that are not listed on court dockets.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and other media outlets, including The Canadian Press and La Presse, brought the case before Canada's top court. The Attorney General of Quebec is also an appellant.

The hack was worse than initially believed, with every client having some data stolen in the breach, the cybersecurity company warned.
Hackers who compromised Okta’s customer support system stole data from all of the cybersecurity firm’s customer support users, Okta said in a letter to clients obtained by CNBC Tuesday, a far greater incursion than the company initially believed.
So, yesterday we covered Elon Musk’s ridiculous censorial threat to sue Media Matters “the split second the court opens on Monday.” Of course, as we noted, you can file lawsuits 24/7. And yet, as t…
... Finally, this isn’t exactly a “problem” with the lawsuit, but I’ll just note the conflict in two separate statements:
X Corp. and Elon Musk are a critical Media Matters target because X is the most prominent online platform that permits users to share all viewpoints, whether liberal or conservative, and Mr. Musk is the most prominent voice on the platform and a passionate supporter of free speech.
That’s in paragraph 41 on pages 11 and 12. On Page 14 in the prayer for relief we get this:
A preliminary and permanent injunction ordering Defendants to immediately delete, take down, or otherwise remove the article entitled “As Musk Endorses Antisemitic Conspiracy Theory, X Has Been Placing Ads for Apple, Bravo, IBM, Oracle, and Xfinity Next to Pro-Nazi Content From Its Web” from all websites and social media accounts owned, controlled, or operated, directly or indirectly, by Defendants;
So… within the span of about 2 to 3 pages we are told that Elon Musk and exTwitter are passionate supporters of free speech that allow “all viewpoints” to be shared and that Musk is filing this lawsuit to force Media Matters to take down speech that he admits is absolutely true, but where he doesn’t like how they portrayed things.
Anyway, kudos to Elon. This really takes stupid SLAPP suits to incredible new levels. I didn’t think you’d be able to find a lawyer who would file a lawsuit so stupid, that makes you look this ridiculous, but you did it. Just like people doubted your ability to shoot rockets into space or make popular electric vehicles, I should not have doubted your ability to file absolutely nonsense SLAPP suits that are this laughable.
Google and the federal government have reached an agreement in their dispute over the Online News Act, sources tell Radio-Canada and CBC News.
Another former Facebook employee is going public with allegations that the company failed to act on its own research showing that young Instagram users were having harmful experiences on the platform.
