I wouldn't say they are for everyone. Personally, I love them. Once I've learned about them, I just saw a better/faster way to use my computer. I use a dynamic tiling window manager, that way I just don't have to think about placing windows, they are placed automatically in a pattern I want. They also can be quite lightweight.

There are many types of window managers, manual tiling, dynamic tiling, scrolling. I even saw a mouse focused WM at some point. In the dynamic tiling there are even more subdivision with the different layouts offered or the different way workspaces are.

I tried a few on X11 before chosing qtile, then moved to Wayland, tried sway, but was more into hyprland which is arguably the most popular one on Wayland. Now I have Niri on my laptop and Mangowm on my desktop. Mango is by far my favourite now. It combines dynamic tiling and scrolling. There are even plans to add manual tiling too. A jack of all trade.

Yeggi, their search is also way better.

This is especially French. In Quebec we have very different insults. Here we could for example say : Ostie de calisse de tabarnak de crisse d'épais de viarge. We can use some of those words as verbs too, like : M'en va t'en crisser une! Or m'en va t'en calisser une. It can also be positive like : ça c'est une calisse de bonne toune! Shouting a "Tabarnak!" Is very satisfying.

The main difference is that French insults are mainly centered around sex. In Quebec it's mainly around religion.

There is a whole article on Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_French_profanity

I have a surface go 3 and a surface pro 7. I installed Arch on both and also enabled secure boot. Installing Arch works, but wifi on the installation drive doesn't work. I plug in a usb hub with Ethernet and I'm fine after. Enabling secure boot is harder, but it can work.

La qualité est variable chez Canadian Tire. Les prix aussi. Il y a une règle, attendre les spéciaux. Tout revient en spécial assez vite. Après, pour la qualité, ça dépend toujours. J'achète des outils et il y a une bonne différence entre Maximum et Mastercraft. Maximum est souvent garantie à vie aussi. Par exemple, j'ai une paire de pinces qui sont une réplique de knipex, mais à une fraction du prix. Elles sont excellentes et garanties à vie.

Ils ont aussi beaucoup de produits cheap chinois. J'ai un souffleur pour mon compresseur qui ne donne pas la bonne pression, un autre bout qui leak de l'air, peu importe ce que je fais. Bref, pas excellent. Mais ça venait avec un kit pas cher et d'autres bons outils, donc je reste satisfait overall.

While I agree, it surly is not how the CPC sees it. The CPC had an historic participation and only a circonscription had to vote for Pierre. In a way, he was rejected by his constituents, but not by Canada. If it wasn't for the NDP partisans that voted liberals, we probably would have a conservative government. So yeah... I'm not hopeful for the future, next elections might be deceiving.

Immigration makes the housing demand worse, but most anti-immigration arguments completely forget that they help with the supply by bringing manpower to build the homes. So in a healthy market, it would balance it out. Unfortunately, both of you touch on a few points that makes this market unhealthy, so supply is restricted way too much. Bringing more manpower doesn't help since it's not the bottleneck.

The anti-immigration arguments are mainly from the racist right that looks for a boogyman while ignoring the real causes of our issues.

Didn't follow that, thx for the info! I'll look to use freecad instead.

[–] JC1@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I tried Onshape and now switched to ondsel which is freecad but with a different user interface.

I've had success with it. I find onshape to be a little easier to work with, but I find owning my files more important.

I just switched my .ca domains to canspace.ca. They were the chespest I found for Canadian domains. Had to contact them, they had a fast response time and they were helpful. I had a .cc domain too, but I decided I wasn't renewing it and swapped for a .ca instead.

Please arm chair general, let's invest in drones and send you specifically to patrol our northern waterways. I'd like to see you intercept a Russian or American vessel violating our territorial waters with your drones.

I don't say that drones are bad, it's just 2 entirely different tools.

Libertarianism has roots in socialism. The term has been coopted by anarcho capitalists. You're right with your analysis IMO. You can't be free with authoritarian politics and/or authoritarian economy. Capitalism is very authoritarian.

 

I'm looking for a new light for EUC riding. I currently have a SP36 which I find too big and heavy and also a thrunite TC15 that lacks throw and uses a micro USB that I dislike. A buddy of mine uses a Fenix TK16 v2 and it seems to be a good balance of flood and throw, but I dislike the buttons. I really like the features of my SP36 and the single button.

I need good flood and medium throw in order to see further ahead. I looked at hank lights and I'm quite interrested, but I'm new to all this. Through my research, I think a D1K might be a good format. I saw a few people riding EUC that said the D4Sv2 with XPL-HI is best, but this emitter isn't offered anymore.

What do you suggest?
