Are Chromium browsers affected by this too?

It looks like Crombie steamrolled city council to get fourplexes legalized and grab some of that sweet federal money.

Do you know if these are along the corridors and not across the city? Lazy to check and you seem to have read that already. 🥹

What the heck, YouTube?

I’ve only subscribed to YouTube Premium for the past two months, and I like the ad-free experience and Music streaming bundled in one price, PHP159 or $3/month. Will this probably my last? Yesterday morning, Google automatically charged me for my YouTube Premium subscription through my e-wallet service....

Do not issue a chargeback through your bank if you care about your Google account. They will close it. Talk to Google to resolve the payment issue.

These kind of things don’t look good at all for security companies.

Looks pretty good to me. Nothing horrible or difficult to take out.

In addition to own new code, bundled copies of libraries in packages introduces net new attack surface which isn’t patched via the regular distribution security patch process. The image decoding lib that allows remote code execution now exists in flatpaks independently from the one in /lib. Every flatpak vendor that contains it has to build and ship their own patched version of it. This is even more valid for any other libraries flatpaks include that don’t exist on the system. The most widely used Linux OSes come with security patching processes, expectations and sometimes guarantees. This new attack surface breaks those and the solution is security sandboxing. This approach has been proven in mobile app packaging and distribution systems. Android is a great example where apps are not trusted by default and vulnerable ones rarely cause collateral damage on otherwise up-to-date Android systems. This is an objective problem with the out-of-band distribution model allowed by flatpak and snap or any similar system, whether you care about it or not personally. It’s a well understood tradeoff in software development. It has to be addressed as adoption grows or we risk reducing Linux security to the levels of Windows where apps regularly bundle dependencies with no sandboxing whatsoever.

Quite possible that’s there’s a driver optimization that’s needed. It’ll likely get better with updates.

The shift in opinion is inevitable with the rising body count. I’m surprised however it’s happening this quickly.

We love our suburbia in Mississauga. 🥲

Ford's Greenbelt flip-flop could spell legal trouble for taxpayers, lawyers say (www.cbc.ca)

Remember how canceling the gas plant was such a big deal? I bet the apologists will be out in force explaining how the fact that we are on the hook for this abjectly corrupt effort to transfer billions of dollars of unearned benefit to Ford’s wealthy developer friends/donors is, “ToTaLlY dIfFeReNt.”...

Folks, we have to remember the gas plants!

But seriously, I think it’s clear for anyone who’s following, that we’re way beyond that at this point. I’m pretty sure we already topped the gas plants losses during Ford’s first mandate with the cancellation of green energy projects and such.

Possibly for the tweet by one CUPE account on Twitter which said something like “Palestine is rising” on the eve of the Hamas attack. I think it subsequently got deleted and rightfully so.

Just shipped in GTA, Canada. Ordered a P8P 256GB on the 4th. Carrier is UPS.

Is consider what runs on those chipsets and how long their software support is as equally or even more important than the chipsets themselves. E.g. now we have Tensor G3 devices that run near-stock Android with 7 years of support. Tensor G1/2 have 5 years. Critically this software support translates to third party Android OSes too as they can grab the latest vendor source and firmware from the stock ROMs and use it in their own.

Some countries have demonstrated how it can be done much faster than Europe and the US did it.

Typically you can compensate for the lack of micro adjustments by varying the dose. E.g. of the next finer step is a bit too fine, drop 0.5-1g from the dose to balance the flow rate. Of course you need a scale for that but I assume you’d want to have a scale anyway, even if it’s a more general cooking scale. Am I wrong?

avidamoeba,
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

The difference between pre-ground and grinding at home where you can adjust the grind should be significant. Haven’t used Encore ESP but it should be fine. It seems like the default choice performs well while not breaking the bank. I’m using a Sette 30 but I bought that second hand.

What could possibly go wrong with running precompiled binaries that were linked to a set of precompiled libraries with a completely different set of precompiled libraries.

As an Ubuntu user of 17+ years, I concur.

Not the locations. The versions. Your libssl-1.0 isn’t the same as mine. There often are differences in major, minor or patch versions. There even are differences in compile options where a feature present in one is not compiled in another. E.g. ciphers available in libssl.

avidamoeba,
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

Yup.

It’s unsurprising given the high level of homeownership in Canada which is leveraged for investment in housing. Over 40% of newly built condos in Ontario went to investors. Most of those investors aren’t corporations either. They’re mom and pops looking for retirement investment.

High cost of living is one of the causes of recent drops in productivity. There might even be a feedback loop hidden so where in there.

avidamoeba,
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

For home prices not going up for example.

Delete for everyone, and resend is so jarring. 😂

No, just enroll in the Beta on the Play Store.

Same as sending or deleting messages. An edit is just another message that the clients interpret differently. They modify a previous message instead of showing it as a new one.

Hmm. Gotta check.

As Thomas sees it, “in the South, you have a lot of scared people that don’t know much about a union because they’ve been raised to be against a union.” But he said the Big Three strikes make now a “great time” for the UAW to ramp up organizing, including at nonunion plants.

Raise them right.

There should be improvements in the idle battery life department along with the camera. Probably not earth shattering. Pixel 6 Pro is still a completely competent device and likely will be till the end of its update lifespan and beyond.

avidamoeba,
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

Every Pixel so far has been supported for as long or longer than it’s official support window. This isn’t a free chat app. It costs a lot and it comes with warranties and expectations for true spec sheets.

How’s the Manitoba NDP in policy direction? Center-left, left, very left? I know there can be significant differences between provincial parties by the same name. E.g. the BC Liberals are a bit like Ontario’s PCs.
