Problem is mostly housing. When people earn 2000$/month and rent is 2000$/month, there's a problem. In great Montreal, pre-covid, you had 1bd appartment for 500$ sometimes less, now it's 1200+$

I don't know what will happen with this, and the hundreds of thousands new people coming each and every years need housing too, and schools, and healthcare. Of course millionnaires politicians don't give a shit.

I don't know what program really is catching the keys, but from my keyboard, the vol+/- mute speaker and mute mic are working, my behavior enable keyboard shortcut checkbox is rightly checked.

I'm using Xfce, and the program to control volume is "pavucontrol", no problem with it...

Plugin in my panel seems to be /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libpulseaudio-plugin.so

Well, I have for 3 years now a PoCo F3 with MIUI, and HyperOS now, and never had an ads or bloatware, in the first hour I got the phone, I just uninstall/disabled some apps and didn't consent on the "miui" stuff, that's it.

TOS of course, will never skip it

Quickly came to write "AWK!!!!!!!!!" but yeah... you don't want its superiority... 😜

Managed a park of HPUX, AIX, IRIX, Solaris at the time, it was nice. Yeah a microkernel could be cool, but we have FreeRTOS for embedded now, it's not bad. I'm more into developing now

nah, in France, they were big supporter of HP-UX

Wow, same, went to uni from 1990 to 1996, everything was HP-UX, so I installed Linux on my 386 then 486 at the time, easier to do the homework, transferred on floppy. Always had a Linux partition, of course DOS/Windows was used for gaming, Linux for tinkering and dev. I don't game for years so I'm Linux 100% for years now. I have a windows XP in QEMU for AVRStudio, damn thing cannot make it works in wine because of serial ports.

Pretty sure AntiX would work on this

not this P2, I think OP is talking about the P2 from 1997, I had a P2 266MHz and was running it at 300 (75x4), 32MB of RAM, 4GB HD, it was the shit in 97

favorite? I like BeOS it was so nice!!

In what country? USA? Canada? France?

oh, all of them! right!

I think it works here between my MX Linux and a Dell 4K display, via HDMI

I'm like you, started Linux with v0.99, downloading on floppies at university, installing on 486, installing X11, drivers, etc. It was fun at the beginning, I was young, had time, I was a "LFS" guy, always recompiling everything and all, and it was time consuming, and boring, and slow at the time!!! Then I basically use Debian (Ubuntu, Mint, now MX for 6 years at least) for 20 years... it works, I'm ok with it.

Yes I tried Arch, the low level install, it reminded me of my LFS time, but now I'm an old coot and I don't have time for this shit 😆

IIRC years ago Tim Hortons stop buying the coffee beans that was good, to buy cheap disgusting ones. And McDonalds then started to buy the good one, so the McDo coffee is what was the good old Tim ones.

I prefer McDo cofffee than Tim. I rarely go to Tim, maybe once a year.

Je me rappelle au siècle dernier quand j'allais à la Grande-Motte ou a Sète et l'eau n'était jamais à plus de 18-19°C on se pelait les couilles

Exactly the same in Canada, the black metal bar stool, light, fixture, black brick, wood, etc. It is a starter pack for burger restaurant.

J'utilise FF

vidéo bloquée (ailleurs qu'en Europe ou au moins France/Allemagne)

Yes

Something else, gardening, cleaning up basement, etc. When I watch entertainment it is mostly tv/streaming.

I am the target audience, 50yo, grown up reading comics in the 70s/80s, love Star Wars, am nerd, computer geek, played zillions RPG, saw all the SW, goonies, ET, BTTF, mad max, terminator and all shwarzy movies in theater, etc. Seriously, MCU movies are somewhat bad, dull, some characters looks like impersonator, heroes in thigh, actors lack credibility, too often bad CGI, stories are empty, I realized comics from the 70s/80s are really story for kids. They are actions movies, but uninsteresting. At 50yo I prefer to do something else during those 2 hours.

true, a simple:

sudo nala install

In the last 10 years maybe, yes, lots of new condo towers downtown! Unfortunately Montréal now has a lot of homeless people, drugs, gunshots, dirty places, etc :-(

Same in Montréal, maybe thousands of brand new condo, small, and too expensive.

Pretty sure you have it as a snap package :-(

I only use native .deb and never a snap, for everything

I have MX (Debian based), I had kind of the same problem, my DELL monitor didn't sleep. To fix it, I had to go in the monitor settings and set the input mode to "HDMI1" instead of Auto. It looks like the auto mode was maybe sending message or something that prevented it from sleeping.

VIème république ?

Always has been, e.g. forums from last century like slashdot.org is US centric since 25+ years even if it's open to the world, like usenet was. Every forum using english language have a majority of users from the US, talking about US "celebrities" and US politics.

I also need some old app working only in Windows, I spent hours on wine trying to make them work, but no. So in the end, I installed Linux only, then set up a simple QEMU of WinXP SP3 image, just to install those programs (they need serial ports, and I can redirect the ttyUSB0 to QEMU as a COM1) and that's it, no more *real windows.

C'est pas parfait le Québec mais oui venez ici on manque d'infirmiers/infirmières merci :)

Après quelques années d'ancienneté une infirmière gagne plus de 100'000$ (plus les avantages sociaux) et avec le temps supplémentaires il y en a qui dépasse les 200-250k, mais c'est tough pareil

you shout in COBOL ;-)

I learnt COBOL (I'm old) it's a very easy language, you basically talk, for instance to do c=a*b you write:

MULTIPLY A TO B GIVING C

and everything is tabbed, but in a good editor like emacs, it's done automatically pretty well.

It's about everywhere, also in USA, when a newly elected official having a net worth of nothing significant, earn, let's say, 200k per year, but after 5 years has a net worth of 10 millions ?!?

I cannot believe I used xbiff in the 80s to know when I had a new email, and in 2024 the most well known and old thunderbird does not...

Quelle horreur, être raciste ouvertement de même, incroyable... Divine prend son café en terrasse, et pour monsieur elle ne respecte pas les coutumes françaises?!?

There's others problems than cars in Montréal, it's really dirty, and more and more unsafe, this looks like the New York from the 80s
