Absolutely love language transfer. At least for Greek it was great, the founder Mihalis is a British Cypriot.

I use it on my laptop because it doesn't nuke my laptop's battery like all other browsers. So it's a bit of a shame.

Damn is that expensive though. But I think Amazon sells at a discount to make money on the bookstore.

Interesting low-cost measure to not use a front-derailleur

The S2 model aimed to give riders an uphill climbing gear but without introducing the complexities of a gear-shifting derailleur, tensioned cables, and handlebar shifters. Engineers at SRAM came up with a solution that's hard to imagine for other bikes but not too hard to grasp. A freewheel in the back has two cogs, with a high gear for cruising and a low gear for climbing. If you pedal backward a half-rotation, the outer, higher gear engages or disengages, taking over the work from the lower gear. The cogs, chains, and chainrings on this bike are always moving, but only one gear is ever doing the work.

Probably not of much use but I thought it was cool

Well it doesn't seem like there's been another Reddit exodus, especially from looking at the user numbers for Lemmy. There hasn't been a big screwup lately like with Meta or Twitter (but I think Bluesky is absorbing the Twitter refugees currently).

Of course, but it's entirely unrelated to the body of the article.

When they write "college" in the image I think they mean university, not CEGEP. University is still a good ways from free, being $4k-$5k/yr. And that's just for in province students, it's more for non-Quebec but still Canadian students.

In Germany (and maybe the other listed countries but I'm less informed on them), university is free as well. I think it also doesn't depend which state you're from.

I do love the tongue-in-cheek title that CBC put on this article.

 

In a shocking change of pace, it's completed ahead of schedule! Was supposed to go until April

 

Valérie Plante will not be seeking re-election as Montreal's mayor, according to Radio-Canada sources.

Plante is expected to hold a news conference at 11:30 a.m. to announce the decision.

Plante has served two terms as mayor of Montreal. She was first elected in 2017 after defeating incumbent Denis Coderre. She was re-elected in 2021.

She had previously said she would seek another mandate.

 

A step in the right direction. I've always found it very upsetting that before tip machines, the standard 15% tip was on the subtotal and now it's always calculated on the total. We are double screwed in that over 15% has been pushed lately and the ``15%" is not the 15% that we used to have.

 
 
 

REM delayed again... this time with no new target date.
