Thanks! I added a direct link to the list in the post

 

See their release page for more details:

⚠️ This release includes a breaking change. ⚠️

For those unfamiliar, Dawarich is a self hosted location tracker / timeline

On Saturday, May 17, 2025, the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation will open two of its outdoor pools and staff its nine swimming beaches with lifeguards to help people safely enjoy time in and around the city’s waters this summer.

 

The thumbnail may be misleading, see this page for affected products:

https://recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/alert-recall/health-canada-warns-various-radon-gas-detectors-sold-amazonca-may-pose-health-and

Consumers who have these affected products should immediately stop using them and dispose of them in accordance with municipal electronic waste requirements.

Consumers should only purchase electronic radon monitors that have passed performance testing by the Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program (C-NRPP), the Canadian radon certification program recognized by Health Canada. Health Canada provides guidance for measuring radon in homes: Guide for radon measurements in homes - Canada.ca.

To learn about ways to measure the radon gas level in their home with an approved radon detector and how to reduce the radon level if it is high, consumers should visit the following website: Take Action on radon.

Windhawk v1.6 (github.com)
 

See the link for the full list of changes.

For those unfamiliar, Windhawk is a GPLv3 program that makes it easier to customize Windows, such as modifying the start menu, changing the UI/UX, among other things. I personally got it to reduce the size of the task bar on a laptop with a small screen and it worked great.

Spotted this free event on their newsletter. It's online on Tuesday May 20, 2025 from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (Europe/Paris)

 

Headline was from the CBC newsletter

They cited this link: https://www.cihi.ca/en/child-and-youth-mental-health/who-is-the-most-affected-by-mental-health-disorders

The rate of children and youth (aged five to 24) in Canada visiting emergency departments declined 31 per cent over the past five years according to a new report.

Hospitalizations for mental health disorders among children and youth also declined over the past five years, with a 23 per cent lower rate of hospitalizations between 2023-24 compared with 2018-19, the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) reported this week.

Over that same period, a larger proportion of young people in several provinces went to their physician about their mental health, and more were prescribed medications for mood and anxiety, said Cheryl Chui, director of health system analytics at CIHI.

The findings suggest that mental health has not necessarily improved in this group. Instead, there's been a shift in the places patients go to for mental health care, Chui said.

The world has been gripped by the case of Australian woman Erin Patterson, who was charged with the murder of three people after allegedly serving them a lunch of beef wellington containing poisonous death cap mushrooms (Amanita phalloides).

A new element of the sensational story emerged in court this week, when prosecutors reportedly alleged Patterson used iNaturalist to locate and visit places where death cap mushrooms were known to grow.

How busy was it when you went?

It's a good idea to have extra staff available. Advanced polls already set records for the number of voters, and the day is just getting started.

Elections Canada has announced preliminary estimates that show nearly two million electors voted Friday, the first day of advance polls.

François Enguehard, a regional media advisor in the Atlantic region for Elections Canada, said the turnout is up 36 per cent from the first day of advance polling in the last election in 2021.

I couldn't find an exact number, but the goal seems to be to make it cheap

Santos says targeting the hospitality industry at large, including bars, pubs, clubs and other party venues where drinks flow freely, means patrons can have access to a simple drug testing tool for "every cocktail on every table."

"The idea is that it'll be completely ubiquitous," she said. "Every drink leaving the bar will have a stick in it. Every drink will be stirred, every drink will be tested, every drink will be safe."

While I still can't say this is novel, this other article mentions that the goal is to make it cheap enough that venues can have enough for every drink that they serve and to put the responsibility on venues rather than the user

"In the anti-violence sector, you know, there's a lot of very strong feelings about people who are being targeted with violence being told that the burden of safety is on them, and that they have to buy more and do more to protect themselves constantly," she said.

"The idea is that it'll be completely ubiquitous," she said. "Every drink leaving the bar will have a stick in it. Every drink will be stirred, every drink will be tested, every drink will be safe."
