Je déteste cette politique, des fois j'attends un ami ou ma blonde proche d'une entrée de métro dans un building, et les gardes de sécurité me disent que j'ai pas le droit de m'asseoir ni de faire du piquet.

On est en train de faire mal à tout le monde en voulant faire mal aux sans-abris.

We banned generative AI over at [email protected], I think [email protected] should do the same.

Hello!

Just as a heads up, going forwards, AI-generated images and articles will no longer be tolerated on this community.

The reason being that AI image generation has been used to replace human artists, and the resulting image often feature some sort of uncanny valley body horror, as seen here.

Ethically-trained GPTs can be used for good, but image generation does not have a purpose beyond either tricking people or replacing human artists, and AI-generated articles are not fact-checked and can contain hallucinations.

This post will stay up as it was created before the rules were amended.

Cheers!

They clearly haven't, thus far. Canada does tariff some US goods, my understanding is that Costco still sells them regardless.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I agree, OP's post history and lack of interaction is hella sus.

It's also off-topic here as it does not encourage anyone to buy Canadian, rather I feel like it hopes to trick people into supporting an American company who sells American goods.

I'm sorry, I honestly don't see how an American giant who removed Canadian products from their American shelves without removing American products from their Canadian shelves has anything to do with "buying Canadian".

The letter is a nice thought, but truthfully, Costco is an American company with American interests. It's nice that they treat their employees well, but that doesn't make them more aligned with Canadian needs.

"Everyone has been amazing and nice and kind"

Yeah now try that with a different skin tone or accent.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Perhaps just an addendum explaining that profit-driven Canadian news outlets are not included here due to the risk of being swayed by American interests.

Fair enough, Winnipeg Free Press is a large Canadian media org, but they are indeed for profit and potentially biased that way.

Why is Winnipeg Free Press missing?

It's not really their business, most consumers ask for dairy milk in their milk chocolate.

There is some very good vegan chocolate out there that isn't Lindt.

 
 

Hello!

As per the title, I think it would be really useful to have an automatic upload and attachment of any items over the 25MB limit to Proton Drive. This is something I sorely miss from Gmail which makes sending some types of emails a pain as I have to first upload it to Drive, create a public link, keep track of all my publicly shared files, and make sure the link works before placing it awkwardly in my email.

Hello!

As per the title, Proton Calendar for Android does not appear to support multiple signed in accounts.

This means I can only get notifications for personal appointments or client meetings, but not both, and the web version never prompts to enable notifications on Android. I am thus liable to miss events on whichever calendar I am not currently signed into.

This is not an acceptable level of support for a professional suite. Is there a roadmap for when this feature will be added?

I know this because I use SimpleLogin to provide each service with its own specialized email address. You can see in the picture the address starts with bixi@sl.***

It's also possible but unlikely that they sold user data.

 
 

On Android, I noticed two major features that are missing that make it extremely difficult to use the mobile version for me:

  1. I can't add inline attachments. This makes communicating with clients and pointing at stuff impossible on mobile.
  2. I can't browse existing attachments to view and remove them. This means I have to start my reply all over again and delete the draft if I uploaded the wrong thing, and I can't validate that I did upload the right thing.

Also, pasting into a message body is broken on the beta, but working on stable (the only option is "select all")

There's also no rich text, which is sometimes painful when writing long emails on the go, and it means I can't bold stuff to indicate importance.

I also had issues with sent emails from drafts where a draft was created on mobile, finished on the web and sent, the mobile client will show as if I had sent the unfinished mobile draft, which sent me into a panic last night haha.

The president of McGill University says officials have called for police assistance after pro-Palestinian protesters refused to dismantle their encampment on the university's downtown Montreal campus.

"Having to resort to police authority is a gut-wrenching decision for any university president," Saini said. "It is, by no means, a decision that I take lightly or quickly. In the present circumstances, however, I judged it necessary."

Lawyer Neil Oberman, who represents McGill students Gabriel Medvedovsky and Raihaana Adira, is set to ask a judge for a provisional injunction against the encampment on Tuesday afternoon.

The injunction request, expected to be filed at the Montreal courthouse at 2 p.m., will target groups currently protesting on campus, according to Oberman. McGill University is named as an interested party in the case.
