And those motocross. My family lives in a rural area with a rail trail. So to go there I often just cycle on the rail trail.
Unfortunately it's also used by a local motocross group. They're not supposed to but they obviously don't give a fuck.
At least you can hear them coming from kilometres away. Which is interesting because the police or whoever is supposed to enforce "bicycles only" on that bike path doesn't seem to hear them. Nor see the very obvious tracks.
The most insulting part is that they close the path in fall, winter and spring because they don't want CYCLISTS to damage the bike path, yet there's assholes on motocross driving on it.
The one about the memorial built in advance for a damn disaster that they all saw coming but did nothing about, except for the memorial of the future victims.
This disaster will have been preventable. All of the warning signs are here now. Yet, no one will have fucking done anything about it.
I have been working from home for years and my employer is not watching our screen. However about a decade ago we received a company wide email from an admin reminding everyone that they can see DNS requests when we're connected to the VPN.
I have no idea. Electricity, heat and hot water are included in my rent.
So, where is Saddam Hussein?
There's very little meat in these gym mats.
And I'm sure they already have a team filtering through that crap. Poor them.
That reminds me that the mayor of Paris decided to just quit that shit hole last year.
It also reminds me that lots of media sites won't allow comments on their YouTube videos or on some of their articles because they can predict exactly the kind of BS they are going to get, and nobody from the Canadian Civil Liberties Association is saying that it's unreasonable and limiting people's freedom of expression.
They can still reach the mayor's office through official channels. They can write open letters in the media. They have multiple other ways to make their shitty opinions heard. X formally known as Twitter is not fundamental to freedom of expression.
And those same people were thriving and doing much better when Trump was president?
When I saw the title through my news feed, I knew exactly what it was about.
And it's totally ridiculous and unrealistic to expect her to allow every right wing asshole on X formally known as Twitter to send her heinous messages and ad hominem. She should just quit that cesspool.
I went there for a while and every fucking post that I tried to make, or follow, within my "community" and followers, ended up being flooded by hateful messages, the worst ones being from paying accounts and highlighted by Twitter itself. I really liked the small community of people that were progressives and pro-cycling on Twitter, for Montreal. But every time they comment or if you dare reply something nice, you or them will get flooded by loads of insulting, hateful, shitty replies. I gave up. It's untenable.
If you spend just a few minutes through her posts and their replies, you can see exactly why some of them are being blocked. The people criticizing her are unrealistic. They are not receiving personal threats and insults as "messages from their constituents".
Again, I think she should just quit the cesspool that is X formally known as Twitter. There is nothing to gain there.
Imgur has been enshittifying for multiple years. When I went on reddit a few years ago, its use was already discouraged by some subs.
They wanted to become their own site and more profitable, instead of just being an image hosting site for reddit. So they started to fight against hotlinking and tried to keep redditors captive on their site.
When people share a link to an image hosted on imgur, it finds ways to break hotlinking to show the whole site in an effort to show ads and keep users captive, on their site.
From what I can see their enshittification started around 2016.
Recently there's also been people reporting that they apparently highjack the back button of a browser to make it even more difficult to escape.
AFAIK it's also why reddit itself started to host images.
They really really really want people to stay on their site.
EDIT: Here's some evidence, from a reddit thread, obviously https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/awfckb/whats_the_deal_with_imgur_does_reddit_own_it_why/
Et là je me demande pour les régions francophones de l'Amérique. Au Québec (Montérégie et Montréal) j'ai déjà entendu, crayon, crayon mine, crayon à mine et crayon de plomb.
Sinon la version mécanique pour moi est un pousse-mine mais semblerait-il que les sites de fournitures de bureau appellent ça un portemine.
I've been doing some rail trails on the "green roads" (routes vertes) to visit my parents for the last three weekends and I stopped at the park for overnights as I didn't want to cycle the full 140 km in one shot and then back. It's getting greener!
The Yamaska National Park is a small park located around a reservoir in southern Québec. From there it's possible to access multiple rail trails and "linear parks" going in all directions.

The last two upgrades have broken my audio setup.
First the options for Network Server and Network Access in paprefs were greyed out and my sinks disappeared after upgrading to bookworm. I just had to create a link to an existing file and it was working again but, it's weird that it was needed in the first place. Pretty sure it has something to do with the change from pulseaudio to pipewire but I'm not very up to date on that subject and I just want to have my current setup to continue working.
Then yesterday I just launch a simple apt-get upgrade and after rebooting my sinks disappeared again. The network options in paprefs were still available, but changing them did nothing. I had to create the file ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/10-gsettings.conf and stuff it with "pulse.cmd = [ { cmd = "load-module" args = "module-gsettings" flags = [ "nofail" ] } ]" in order to have my sinks back.
I know it's not only a Debian thing, as I can see this happening to people on Arch forums, but as Debian is supposed to be the "stable" one, I find it amusing that a simple upgrade can break your sound.
Using Boost for Lemmy, I got an obvious political ad from the right asking to sign a petition to scrap the gun "ban" in Canada (it's a registry not a ban).
Now I understand this is an ad but I don't appreciate having propaganda from the right injected into my browsing on lemmy. Have better ads, or let us report them.
