How have I never seen this before now?

Oh that's a neat app! I hadn't heard of it before

Glad you got it going!

How are you trying to install Calibre? Is it via Flatpak? AppImage?

Did you try it from here? https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux

I'm guessing that that method won't work with atomic distros. I'm guessing that it's trying to copy files to an immutable spot.

I would try looking for a Flatpak first.

I was going to suggest the portable one as a backup but that's only for Windows :(

If Ontario residents stay 7 months, they lose their health care.

"To qualify for Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) coverage, a person must be a resident of Ontario as defined in Regulation 552 of the Health Insurance Act (HIA). Except for those residents identified in section 1.1(1)(a) below, a resident must ordinarily be present in Ontario which means the resident must make his or her permanent and principal home in Ontario and, with some exceptions, be present in Ontario for 153 days in any given 12-month period."

Not that this bill would convince me to ever cross the border again

Don't you mean Pierre Pondulac of the Conservation Party?

I should make a separate post for this, but I find Firefox performance is terrible on all my machines when watching YouTube.

I have a 2013 Macbook Pro running KDE Neon, a PC with a Ryzen 5 3200+Nvidia 3070 running Mint, and a Pixel 8. YouTube plays badly on the first two, stuttering and impossible to seek backwards and forwards. I solved this by running a different browser, where none of those problems exist

On my phone, when I play a video, the video itself is smooth, but I get popping sounds over Bluetooth every few seconds. Problem solved by running Chrome. In the phone case, this started happening a few months ago

"There's no charge to switch out of S mode."

How generous of you, Microsoft!

What's the difference between that and STV?

Red Hat 5.1, which I quickly abandoned after learning the hard way about winmodems

Don't forget about the American spelling

Oh, you mean like this? (Taken at FreshCo, owned by Sobeys)

I didn't vote for the PC MPP in my riding, but I 100% support Doug Ford with this

Our newly-elected Premier has unfortunately doubled down on giving cars priority with the mandated removal of bike lanes and building new highways (413), even though their own data says that Toronto with be just as congested a few years after building them.

Oh I forgot to mention the tunnel under the 401, which is a massive boondoggle waiting to happen

I'm so happy this important issue is finally getting taken care of.

. . . . . That doesn't really need /s on it.. right?

I am against stripping citizenship from anyone, Musk included, unless the citizenship was obtained under false pretenses.

In the end, I signed this petition yesterday simply to voice my discontent, knowing that this would never happen.

Has he committed treason against Canada? Unsure.

Election interference? More likely

Two years ago, I could get $35-40k (CDN), and now it's $25k

I bought the absolute cheapest model and had to stretch my budget a little in order to do it

I looked to sell mine about 2 years ago, but the resale on it was so bad, I just couldn't afford it.

I have to settle for just never buying another Elon product, even preferring 3rd party chargers instead of superchargers. And maybe get one of those bumper stickers

Is that 3 American football fields?

Before this, the only place I have ever heard that slur is from a Pink Floyd song, but until now I could only guess to whom it referred.

They probably used that graphic because Toronto has an actual raccoon problem. I'm not commenting on the "tastefulness" of the graphic

Can I join this club even though I don't have an Air?
