As a French speaker, I can understand the confusion for those, but it's also amusing to see how English speakers can mix them up.

Isle for island, now ile in French.

Aisle for wing, now aile in French.

But maybe it's an isle of fruits, in the fruit aisle?

And instead of Jay Peak, there's also Owl's Head in that region (Eastern Townships).

It never existed. It's always been just an illusion to keep the poor in their place.

We have billionaires and now centibillionaires but the problem is immigrants and environmental laws, obviously.

It even has an integrated UPS.

Careful, he may sue Poland for not buying his cars and limiting his freeze peach.

Rule #2 says to respect the firing sequence or else you'll blow up, but IRL those assholes don't respect any rule and are still not exploding. Also, rules #4 says that the goal is conquering the galaxy. Maybe it's the losers that die on Mars?

Of course. With all the power, Democrats would have stopped financing genocide. Only with absolute power can the Democrats improve public transit, provide clean water, lower the cost of groceries, tax the rich and generally fight for the people they are supposed to represent. Without absolute power, they have been forced to continue financing genocide and ignore the problems of the common people.

If enough people voted, the Democrats would have given people free health care, stopped financing wars, torture and genocide, close Guantanamo, improve public transit, boost public education, and lowered the cost of groceries. If only enough people voted for the Democrats, they could be in power and bring change. Of course!

I have the reverse experience when traveling. It's legal here but not in countries that I like to visit.

It feels weird and limited to find people smoking by the smell, and ask them for their plug.

Huh. I'm a native French speaker and bugs like this are called 'punaises'. And I just learned that this specific one is apparently diabolical, with the name 'punaise diabolique'.

 

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.
