Canada is repeating a century of anti-migrant scapegoating


Carney’s immigration law C-12 is a new chapter in an old Canadian playbook of scapegoating migrants while serving the corporate elites

I am more worried about the partie québecois will do once it win

Corporations: We need more migrants to lower wages, but in return we will create more jobs! It's actually helping us maintaining the wages down so we only pay the minimum required. We might cut any amount of jobs whenever we see fit.

Also corporations: Migrants are ruining our country!

I've been very picky about music players over the years. Basically for decades (well, maybe not that long) it was PowerAmp, ever since I had my HTC Hero on Android 1.5.

Then when I got into the whole Open Source thing, I chose Musicolet and loved it, even donated to the author.

Sadly, on my latest phone which seems to have incredibly strict memory/power settings, I had to stop using Musicolet. The phone would kill the player a sing or two into listening no matter what tricks I would use to try and stop it happening.

Now I'm using Phocid which has never been killed while in use.

And I keep all my music in finders, correctly named and tagged with MP3Tag and MusicBee because, you know, Autism. 😁

Is this local only, or will it play from a selfhosted server like navidrome/lms ?

🚨FLOOR CROSSING🚨





My KDE Neon won't suspend automatically...what's blocking power management?


So...As I installed KDE Neon recently, it worked and autosuspended perfectly after 15min, which is what's set on Power Management settings. However, I've noticed after installing and configuring all the rest of the apps, it's no longer the case. I mean, it DOES suspend if I manually click the Suspend in the start menu, or if I hit the suspend key from my keyboard. But it won't do it on its own.

I initially suspected SMPlayer, which in the Ubuntu 24.04 repos has a long standing issue about this (will suspend when playback stopped, but not when paused). But after installing the newest flatpak...and even with SMPlayer closed, it's still not suspending. What else could be blocking Power Management from suspending my PC? How can I troubleshoot this?

Thanks!

I had a bug similar to this for years. I tried multiple distros, DEs, hdmi cables, display port cables, etc etc. I didn't want suspend, but I really need screen blanking. I finally had a revelation deep in some forum somewhere that mentioned some feature on my monitor. I forget what it was exactly, but it was an 'auto' something that prevented the computer itself from doing anything.

Odd, but possible.

i had the autosuspend issue with mint. tried to troubleshoot it for two years. every now and then i thought i found the solution, but weeks or months later the issue reappeared, and i swear i started balding because of that shit! thought it might be because I'm using a tv as a monitor, but other distros didn't have the same issue, they just had much worse issues. recently tossed my nvidia and got an amd gpu, switched to ultramarine kde. I'm living with a lot of minor bugs now, but it suspends! funny thing is that mint didn't recognize the tv after waking from suspend after switching to amd...

It was a draw but Saudi Arabia scored another one in the extra time. Sadly, they lost.

For 2 Hours, a Soccer Match Offers Palestinians a Rarity: Joy


The national soccer team made it to the knockout stages of the Arab Cup for the first time, uniting fans from Gaza to the West Bank to Cairo to Arab cities in Israel.

Dec. 12, 2025

In Gaza, nearly 50 men, teenagers and boys made their way through a stormy night and muddy, flooded streets to a makeshift cafe in a tent on the outskirts of Khan Younis, where a technician worked frantically to get the game’s livestream playing on a big TV powered by solar panels and batteries, and the cafe’s owner fed cardboard boxes and paper scraps into a fire to make hot drinks and heat the room.

Ismail Nasser al-Din, 20, sat dripping wet, clutching a Palestinian flag. He said he had lost his brother, a cousin and a friend in the war. “I hope our team will win,” he said. “We need any reason to laugh, enjoy and get some relief.”
