From personal experience with older builds, OpenShot is too unstable, buggy, and prone to freezing to be reliable for my video edits.

This was also my experience. Split one too many times and OpenShot would get upset. Stability in this new version would be a big plus.

Well it would be a win-win for India, basically Russia gets paid in customer loyalty store points.

Ignoring the law is a more profitable strategy then following it. Unless this changes, then healthcare companies will continue screwing people over.

Yeah, my local Domino's had a banger deal this past weekend too, was $15 after tax for a 1-topping large and cinnamon sticks. (~11 USD).

In Canada we still Domino's have coupons on the website and sometimes they are even mailed out.

And yeah, to get a decent deal you have to only order the pizza, pick it up yourself, get drinks and sides anywhere else if you want them. I'm a sucker for cinnamon sticks and icing that many chains offer.

I understand that institutionalized racism has long been and continues to be a thing, where predominantly white neighbourhoods are kept quiet and intact while neighbourhoods whose residents are predominantly other races end up being the first target for displacement and "physical impacts". Most likely the land in the neighborhood of the selected alternative costs lower than that of the other neighbourhood, which isn't Amtrak's fault but it is one of the facets of this institutional racism.

The Interstate Highway System is a prime example of this in many metro areas, and ironically improving this rail corridor would be helping to reverse the damage by making alternatives to motor vehicles more attractive.

On the other hand, this effort is treading towards the line of NIMBYism. With proper engineering, the effects of tunneling under the neighbourhood are overstated.

Still, I think that if there are legitimate health concerns, the ones who pay the most in direct and indirect costs should receive commensurate benefits. Provide better transit to the neighbourhood that connects to the nearest station serviced by the future corridor. Subsidize premium comprehensive healthcare for these residents to help address any concerns from construction impacts. Fund soundproofing improvements if noise impacts are a concern.

Oh noes, why can't we accept money from American people while doing nothing? Why are they dying from poor healthcare, and losing their homes due to many states' lax stance on climate change? It's hurting my profitability!

The one rule I would dream of seeing is soft speed throttling to ensure that cars and trucks stay a safe 3 second distance or more apart from each other. That should be relatively easy to do with basic distance sensing and calculations.

It's happened so many times now that these tech news articles have gotten into a habit of including a paragraph on "how to turn off the latest stupid thing Microsoft pushed onto Windows", because they know people keep looking for these answers.

 

The contest from last month had established five finalists:

The first row is the new logo that will be used going forward and in version 1.0 of the program!

 

Link is a 1h42m video interview between Louis Rossmann, FUTO and Immich developers with a introduction to Immich by Louis.

Immich is an open source self-hosted in-development tool to manage image libraries from a central server, and sync/distribute them across your devices, as an alternative to Google Photos. Also see: https://immich.app

The important news here is that FUTO has funded full time development on Immich for 3 years.

 

Principal Skinner is voiced with Superintendent Chalmers' lines and vice versa.

This petition is part of the Stopkillinggames.com campaign led by Scott Ross (Accursed Farms), to end in Australia the practice of software licensors to render purchased software completely unusable at arbitrary points in time.

This petition closes relatively soon so please get the word out to your fellow mates.

Thank you!

 

Petition E-4965 is the one that is posted to stopkillinggames.com, Ross Scott (Accursed Farms)'s campaign to end the practice of bricking games people have purchased, whenever the publisher doesn't want to support it anymore.

It is open for signing by Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents, until September 5th 2024.

Please spread the word to your Canadian friends and family who take interest in games, and please add your name to it to support this campaign to help preserve games in some form in perpetuity.

Thank you!

In 1974, Ivan Illich wrote that the typical American male spent 25% of his waking life either driving a car or working for the income required to pay for one. 50 years later, is this true? And, which cities consume the most -- and least -- of our time with driving?
