Honestly the refreshed oxygen theme here looks sick, I think a lot of people will use it, especially with skeuomorphism making a comeback.

The new panel looks incredible

No, basically every riding has, say, three representatives, and there’s a threshold that each party needs to pass to get elected, here’s an explanation that’s better than what I could come up with:

Ends up very proportional while conserving local representatives, although personally I prefer MMP

Doesn’t matter, they’re dead anyways.

It’s banning rooms explicitely for prayer, so you can still have an empty room meant for prayer, just needs to allow other things as well.

Probably one of the best beaverton articles.

term for software that support multiple people working on it at the same time, a la google docs or figma

Sounds good to me! I hope they support the open document formats better than onlyoffice currently does. Also euro-office isn’t a particularly good name, although it has the advantage of being explicit about where it’s based.

That “love” was going to be exempted from the bill too, until the liberals had to compromise to the bloc.

It’s not the mastodon account, it’s the lemmy community for firefox. On mastodon it appears as an account that auto-reposts any post it’s tagged in, but on our end it just looks like a reddit community.

Where I live the grid is 100% renewables and we have an EV, problem solved IG

This is the dumbest CBC article I have ever read and that’s saying something. Do they expect leadership candidates to hold no positions and have no standards??

I’d be fascinated to see how the US would be if it were completely legal to do basically anything as long as it was triggered through code.

Although I personally much prefer the compose key because of how much faster it is, this is an amazing feature for less tech-savvy people.

Nor does the fact that they went back on the AI kill switch and sent my information that should’ve been private to someone else’s computer a good thing.

when did they do that?

Disagree, this isn’t about giving citizenship to Americans, they just happen to be the primary beneficiaries. This is an attempt to right the wrong that was the mass deportation of french canadians by the british after they took new france.

If you use firefox sync you can set it to not sync tabs by default, only send tabs when you want, which would fit you usecase.

There’s also that store that Universal Blue is pushing

Bazaar. Flatpak-only, genuinely the best software store I have ever used.

Oh I 100% agree, we don’t even follow that law lmao. Take it up with the federal government I guess.

Although the minority french canadians in other provinces might view it differently, idk

As I understand in Quebec all private schools receive some funding (per student) from the government, regardless of religion. As I understand the only requirement for funding is teaching Quebec history. There isn’t a two-tier system.

(Quebec was granted an exemption from section 93 in 1998)

Of the 163 private schools receiving funding, there are 50 religious schools. There are 27 roman catholic, 14 Jewish, 4 Muslim and 5 that teach another denomination of Christianity. However, the same bill that banned hijabs also will gradually end funding for those religious schools. Note that they are mostly christian.

Kind of an over-explanation but it was interesting to research, since I realized I didn’t exactly know what the situation was.

So yeah the system is pretty different from Alberta’s.

Otherwise the general logic behind the law is that teachers and some other public sector workers should not reveal what religion they’re a part of since they represent the government, and the government is non-religious. Also, they argue the hijab (because let’s be real, the law is about the hijab) is inherently a way for a much more conservative view of women’s place in society to advertise itself.

It also should be understood in the wider context of the francophone vision of laicity, which is something perhaps more resembling “state atheism”, where organized religion is excluded from the public sphere. I think this mainly manifests in that anglo canada is generally more accepting of religious “reasonable accommodation” than Quebec.

This isn’t to say that I even support the law, I just wish the situation in Quebec would be less mischaracterized.
