Good on them! The use of the notwithstanding clause to just get your way needs to be challenged. Here’s hoping for success on the part of the teachers!

Quit the Cons

Fantastic song and my favorite Pink Floyd album. Great album art too.

I run Sunshine on Arch-KDE-Wayland with a 4070Ti and stream at 1440 to another PC running the same thing. I haven’t checked frame rates in a while but it seems to be running fine for me.

Does the Thor run Linux with the standard Moonlight client? If you haven’t looked yet, double check Moonlight’s settings and make sure the frame rate, resolution, and other settings look ok.

If you’re streaming a Steam game, also make sure Steam doesn’t have it’s recording enabled. I think Valve enabled it by default some time ago and that tanked my frame rate at the time. There’s a “Game Recording” section in Steam’s settings where you can turn it off.

Sunshine also has logs in the Troubleshooting section on its web client. Maybe see if there’s anything fishy in there too.

Typical conservative MO. When things are going my way it’s all about how great I am and everyone else is useless. When things aren’t going my way, it’s all about how everyone is getting in the way and we all need to work together to achieve my goals.

Alberta separatism is even stupider. If they think getting a pipeline is hard now, imagine having to cross international borders. Even if they went south through the USA there will still be complications.

Good on Chrétien for calling this out publicly.

I hear there may be a general strike in the works. I’m not in a union but you have my support!

“Agentic Engineering”. No, it’s called vibe coding. AI bros are so desperate for legitimacy they make up fancy sounding titles for themselves.

But this isn’t engineering. Engineering takes rigor and discipline and process and understanding… A lot of it is extremely boring too. The code itself is probably the easiest (and I’d argue least important) part of software engineering. These guys are burning down forests to poorly automate the easy part.

I’m not saying that coding is easy in an absolute sense, but only relative to the rest of the discipline. A good engineer knows how to design/architect a system, understand tradeoffs, balance customer/user requirements with business needs, set up proper testing and releases, properly document everything, etc.

Good point. Laws are useless. Case closed.

I hope this goes to court. The UCP needs to be taught a lesson.

Pretty much! Crazies like Smith being in favour of something is a pretty good indication that it’s probably awful.

Have you tried ALVR? It works pretty well for me at least. Supposedly the latest Steam Link VR beta works with several headsets too.

This movie is worth watching. I really enjoyed it!

That’s not even a lot of money, and it at least creates a small barrier of entry. And there’s still a lot of crap in Steam.

I see a lot if indies talking about their game development on other platforms, so hopefully by the time they list they already have an audience and can handle the fee.

But if a game is just low effort shovelware they deserve to lose it.

And while we’re all waiting for this mythical transformative AI that may never arrive, teachers have real problems now that need to be resolved.

Plus, with the current use if LLMs teachers are starting to think more analog. More in class writing assignments on pencil and paper.

Fucking disgusting. I really hope they get their asses handed to them in the next election. I’ve heard there are some rural communities that are dissatisfied with the UCP, but not sure if there are enough of them.

I don’t use Discord very much. Why do they have ID photos?

Go teachers!!!

I agree, but I really do think it’s coupled with an (un)healthy dose of stupidity and delusion. These “free thinkers” really do think you can just pull knowledge out of the air from “first principals”, whatever the fuck that even means in their context. They are completely ignorant that we arrived at our current scientific understanding by countless people stumbling over countless invalid theorems, not to mention piles of peer review and hard work. And chances are most of what we think we know is wrong anyway!

Yes. I’m sure there are many reasons why, but one I’ve been thinking about recently is the idea of ownership. When capital is the only idea of ownership, that’s a problem. Labour is just as, or more important, and people doing the work should have a say in things. We still need capital (ie. things) but just because you own a building doesn’t mean you should get to dictate everything that happens with a venture. Collective ownership of capital and labour seems a good system. I don’t necessarily mean that the government owns things, but rather groups of people owning the buildings, machines, etc. More of a cooperative structure. Just something to prevent a single person owning everything, dictating to the workers, and using the resulting capital + labour to buy and own even more things… Leading to what we are all living through now.

And the UCP can’t afford to pay teachers…
