Nonetheless it's gotten quite expensive. It made a nice post-bar snack, however there are now many better options at the price point.

Still sad because my Precision 5560 (same as XPS 9510) has this floaty trackpad bug on Ubuntu and Pop OS for whatever reason! (I haven't tried any other distro). Much easier for me to swap to Linux on my laptop than my desktop because my laptop is just for Python, LaTeX, and MATLAB.

Dell even sells a 5560 with Ubuntu preinstalled, but they don't make it available for users. But I have not for the life of me been able to get the track-pad bug to go away.

There are users that complain about it from over a year ago. Maybe it's a slow rollout, or some game of cat-and-mouse where my ublock isn't updating for some reason.

But I can still search from the browser search bar and I get results. It's when trying to edit my search that I get problems.

I've used it a long time now. I find it to have much more relevant results than DDG did last time I tried.

Except starting this week, Qwant has started blocking me for using an adblocker. I've had to block Javascript to get around it.

Yeah probably something like that. During the conservative debates Aitchinson seemed very reasonable but whenever I see media reporting on him now, he seems less so.

Yup came to comment this. The number is certainly more than half. Second line:

More than two in five (43%) of Canadians say they know very little or nothing about the topic, reports TECHNATION.

This is just self-reported.

I think it was an option on reddit, but I dont think that feature exists on Lemmy

Yes this statement was quite frankly hilarious. I'm certain that the mafia has moved onto stealing bread for black-market redistribution. Or maybe they themselves can no longer afford to shop at Lowblaws.

Yes but when you're searching online they advertise pricing with the rock bottom fare. IMO shouldn't exist at all

The fact that Air Canada and Air Transit both charge extra for baggage for international flights now irks me to no end. Should leave this kind of BS to discount flight companies.

Yup hate the new update. I have a weird problem with deleting words too with the backspace since the update. Will probably revert to Samsung messages soon.

So did I, but I guess at this point we should know better.

While not a full-scale overhaul of the federal voting system as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau once promised, within the two-party confidence-and-supply agreement are a series of electoral reform proposals aimed at expanding "the ability for people to vote."

Specifically, the Liberals and New Democrats agreed to explore:

• Allowing an "expanded" three-day voting period during general elections;
• Allowing voters to cast their ballots at any polling place within their riding; and
• Improving the mail-in ballot process with both accessibility and maintaining integrity in mind.

...

Expanding the amount of days Canadians have to cast their ballot may be the most significant proposal currently under negotiation.

Overall not super interesting. These are good proposals of course, but not exactly the kind of electoral reform that I think most of us are looking for. Maybe that will change but I'm not feeling particularly hopeful.

Why is Quebec excluded from this list?

Cool that average FPS is better but:

The impressive FPS deltas aside, it should be mentioned that, with the exception of Arch Linux, average frame times (measured as 1% lows, in this case) on Linux were generally behind what Windows managed by up to 20%

I feel like worse 1% lows makes this title misleading. Hopefully with time this gap will close.

Yeah RDR2 was released on PC later even though PS4 and XBO were thr same architecture so I am not hopeful.

Notably, however, the EU Commission is on Mastodon. Would be great if a lot of the companies suspending their ads would also move over to Mastodon even if not fully.
