Or maybe people just aren't paying for the overpriced, reheated shit sysco supplies to shit-tier chain restaurants?

If i'm spending my hard earned money on going out to eat, i'm going to support actual chefs who source mostly from local suppliers and farms.

Does this apply to the in-kernel linux driver?

I have 2 servers, 6 containers, a raspi, a desktop, and a laptop all running linux just fine. My two phones send notification updates to my laptop via kde connect

I have lots of devices on linux and they all play nice together

So... Maybe he ~~should~~ shouldn't have been licensed to handle a deadly weapon. Edit: shouldnt

There are tons of people on the road who shouldnt have licenses.

I always dump out before a race or a long run. Seems like a reasonable precaution

Also switched from those awful energy gels to maple syrup packets. easier on my stomach and i've trained my gut to handle 90+g of carb per hour plus caffeine during races.

"SUV rams into street festival"

Another case of a posessed vehicle killing people. No responsibility on the part of the driver.

It's like the were-car from futurama!

The majority language IS their own.

There are a couple of towns and some terrible pockets of montreal that are majority anglophone, but otherwise, french is very safe. The english problem is totally blown out of proportion to keep the population angry and distracted from the fact that nobody has a family doctor

Montreal mayor Valerie Plante has the same story.... Made the city much better for the majority of citizens but got tons of hate from the minority of drivers in the city plus the suburbanites who couldn't find a parking spot on the weekends

Unfortunately she is not seeking re-election due to the hate she gets from a very vocal minority of the ciitizens and the suburbanites who arent even technically citizens in montreal

"The Rant" guy is back. And this time, promoting Canada instead of sub-par beer.

Way better than the original rant.

Literally crying while watching this.

Fun fact: it's Jeff Douglas from CBC Radio

Another made in Canada brand goes down... Dont let them fool you with "Concu au Canada/Designed in Canada". No problem if you want to keep buying the brand, but if they dont drop the prices then dont pay "made in canada" prices for chinese made stuff.

Brands still made in canada (specifically QC): Quartz (only the winter coats) and Audvik

Risk assessment for f-droid vs. google play store (self.android)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by 9488fcea02a9 to c/[email protected]

With the whole XZ compromise, i am now rethinking the pros and cons of using f-droid

Google play: trust the developer, trust google's vetting process and distribution

F-droid: trust the developer, trust f-droid build tools and distribution

So in both cases, the developer could be either knowingly or unknowingly including malicious code in their code or apk... We cant really do anything about that. Have to trust the developer, or build from source yourself.

Once the apk is produced and sent to google, it is unlikely to be altered before being downloaded on to your phone. (Assuming your threat model does NOT include google being coerced by state level actors to send you a bad .apk)

F-droid's entire build chain and distribution seems like a relatively easy target for building and distributing bad .apks. We're talking about the difference between attacking google, vs. attacking a small community supported website.

Dont get me wrong, i'm a long time f-droid user and donor. I'm just thinking out loud and seeing if anyone else has similar concerns.

Private chat app using wifi only. No SIM available (self.privacy)

My niece has an old iphone with no SIM/phone number. Only wifi internet access.

Looking for an app for both of us to be able to chat

She cant chat with me over signal because no phonee number. She chats with the rest of the family over imessage, but i have an android phone

Is there an app available for both android and iphone to let me chat with her?

Thanks

Edit: willing to self-host for extra privacy. My nieces and nephews are all young children so i definitely want to encourage/educate them to get off corporate controlled communications channels

Is having a coach right for me? (self.running)
 

I'm looking to qualify for boston (M41, 3:10 for my age group)

Current PR is 3:20

Is having a coach worth my money and their time? I have no delusions of being an elite runner. Is coaching a good tool for my current level?
