oh you're totally right I've used the "Canadian Multilingual Standard" before by accident and it was brutal, the "Canadian French" one is the one I use and was taught to use. I confused the two (I took a quick

Every I know in Montreal uses the CSA/ACNOR layout if they're writing French and nobody uses AZERTY (unless you've recently arrived from France, of which many folks here have). We were all taught to use keyboards printed in t

FYI in case the author is reading, https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~nihars/preprints/greCAPTCHA.pdf is a dead link. EDIT: I found a live link on arxiv https://arxiv.org/html/2609.20481v1

They would need and can manage both fighter jet procurement and drone manufacturing. Although a partnership with Iran, China's close ally, would probably be ill conceived.

To be honest, I was going off memory of a couple years back, and having revisited the wiki it does seem to have a lot more information!!

The trouble I had with SeaweedFS was that the docs I found were rather sparse. Garage, on the other hand seemed pretty well documented.

So, my understanding is that while XMPP has historically sucked on mobile, it's gotten better? Does anyone know about the current experience? I don't know if it's due to new XEPs or if it's just better client implementat

Apps generally need not get clipboard contents unless focused on right? Like this should be the default in my view and kinda disappointed it isn't for Wayland.

I recall adding the page transitions to my website c. 2003ish with FrontPage! Also, an aside, but it's seldom these days that I see inspirational page design but this page is gorgeous.

> Their own manifesto says they use their limited resources to support groups they align with. Woah, with radical statements like that, we might have to go after mutual aid groups, PACs, and churches.

If steel and aluminum is imported to Canada, they face Canadian tariff rates. If the US and Canada coordinate their tariff regimes (as I illustrated with the EV example), the rolled steel and aluminum will be tariffed at a rate the US gover

Canada generally doesn't have much problem coordinating with the US on tariffs on Chinese goods. A primary example is Chinese Vehicles. The trouble is that by launching a trade war against Canada, the US has lost the willingness of Can

I just downloaded a fresh install of LibreWolf to test this and it did indeed have a stable UUID for me at 1/62E6. Better than the 1/680E6 from regular Firefox, but still upsetting. Fonts and Audio fingerprinting seems to be wher

In my mind, the chair is meant to deform some, such that the curved seat gives a bit. But that might just be in my mind

This looks impossibly uncomfortable though. The backrest looks like it's pushing you off the seat and the chairs legs look like they'd pin in your own. No thanks!!

Super cool idea, not sure how I feel about this. The risk with URL shorteners is commonly that people get tired running them and they disappear, making the web even more brittle than before (I wrote about goo.gl doing this recently [0]). Ce

Again, IANAL, but you can't disclaim certain liabilities.

IANAL but I'm pretty sure the authors of software are liable for damages to property their software might cause. Regardless of whether that is the case, legislation should be enacted to ensure this and make complaints/remuneration

I mean, sure? Every other laptop company's main business is to sell laptops, so if you want those features or often time even a repair, you have to buy a whole new laptop. If you're Apple, you might need to buy a new laptop for a

I've had Dell XPSs and Lenovo Thinkpads exclusively prior to Framework, and they all died by component failure. Sure, Dell will send a technician to your house and Lenovo has off-shore call centers, but the end result is the same: eith

I've had this sort of thing happen with a Dell XPS, and their response was "purchase a new laptop". While it would be great if we had stronger consumer protection, for both economic and environmental reasons I prefer the Fram
