Pope urges members of the Church to never cover up abuse
  • It shouldn't be a surprise. This is most likely directly related to today's readings, which includes this verse from the Gospel of Mark, chapter 9 [NRSV]:

    ^42 “If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea."

  • Ubisofts stock tanked this morning ahead of the markets opening
  • I'd argue it doesn't accurately show the relative value at a cursory glance. The chart shows the area under the curve having decreased over 90%, but when looking at the y-axis, you can see that initial assessment was misled.

    In a speculative industry like finance, shouldn't we try our best to make charts less... alarmist?

  • Women in STEM
  • Probably people who have heard of these scientists being recently credited for their work.

    The phrase "all the credit" is a bit sensationalist, and it's too easy to poke holes in, although I do concede that "Most of the credit" is vague and "All of the Nobel Prize recognition and prize money / peer accolades" is a bit too wordy.

    It's important that we don't weaken the cause by easily disprovable exaggeration. These scientists did not get nearly enough credit; true.

  • EngageMB: New Manitoba Health Card Designs
  • A very important thing that is missing from these and modern ID cards is "preferred name" because there are so many people who at best ignore and at worst get irate when they are called by their legal first name in every new interaction yet don't bother to change it.

    I'm not talking about all the "John Richards" out there who are called "Jack" or "Dick" by their loved ones who have bene given permiasion to use those common nicknames, I'm talking about the obstinate ones -- although having a preferred name would definitely accommodate them as well.

  • Rant: I can't believe I miss Shaw
  • About the PIN thing -- I was confused too, because they never bother explaining to anyone. What actually happens is their system automatically e-mails you a new verification code (not a pin, if you ask me) while you're on the phone, and you need to remember to check whichever e-mail account that is and continuously refresh until it comes up.

    It doesn't help that e-mail, like SMS text messaging, while being very fast is absolutely NOT an instant communication method. There can often be delays receiving a message with those technologies due to how they're designed.

  • What comes to mind?
  • They all have their quirks, but until airsonic-advanced catches up with the latest opensubsonic API, I've been trying out Audinaut, DSub, and Ultrasonic. I had to reorganize my whole library, though.

    I'm not a fan of these album-based apps. most of my music falls under "Various Artists". As such, I've been playing around with Musicbrainz Picard to try different tagging in an attempt to try to find something that works across both at the server and client end.

    Subsonic doesn't work for me, I'm guessing because it refuses to fall back to earlier versions of their API. I could be wrong.

  • Southern Chiefs' Organization takes government to court to have Lake Winnipeg declared a living entity
  • While this no doubt could have unforeseen legal consequences, I like the attitude of possibly recognizing the rich aboriginal history in at least parts of mother earth as a person as a means to practice good environmental stewardship.

  • What comes to mind?
  • There are many examples of this, but one that comes immediately to mind is the evolution of my favourite LDAP-enabled music player, airsonic-advanced

    Subsonic begat libresonic

    Libresonic begat airsonic as well as a whole bunch of other projects.

    Airsonic begat airsonic-advanced

    Airsonic-advanced begat kagemomiji/airsonic-advanced, however the maintainer of the parent codebase, randomnicode, wants to do the right thing and get their code up to snuff with the opensubsonic API (not sure where that fits in to thr history) so kagemomji can take over.

  • Woman who was denied a liver transplant, after review highlighted alcohol use, has died
  • The provincial governments in charge of our single payor health care system made the conscious decision to keep the liquor marts open while banning in-person sales of tea kettles (and we call ourselves a commonwealth nation!) during a pandemic.

    I think our single payor at least partially did this to themselves.

  • The intel chip issues and jellyfin servers
  • Are you talking about general issues, or specific to encoding/decoding with Intel? And are you installing on bare metal?

    Because I've had issues encoding/decoding after upgrading my docker host from Ubuntu 23.04 or thereabouts, but I've always blamed it on having a server motherboard that doesn't provide ReBAR.
