Is there a way to stream the #StanleyCup playoffs to #Kodi?

#HNOM

The answer appears to be no, at least not for the version of Kodi I'm running (Nexus). Sportsnet owns the rights for streaming the playoffs in Canada. There has been at times a Sportsnet plugin for Kodi, but I don't see it.

A subscription to Sportsnet would cost about $20/month, though apparently it's included in some cable packages.

I've considered buying an antenna for my . Such things exist, but only for DVB, as used in Europe.

Are you supporting anti-war candidates in elections this year?

@evan Vis pacem, para bellum.

In any case, the only election I expect in the next 12 months is for the school board.

@ottaross I heard the story on , watched a video on YouTube about it, and now there's an article in . I find nothing in the so far, but maybe in the next week...

Some days, it pains me that we've built such a useful service, and so few people get to even give it a chance 😔

I've done everything I possibly could (incuding, more than halving the monthly subscription price), but product marketing is something I personally suck at.

So, I am begging you, the community, to help us out. If you know anyone who would benefit from our social media news and stories aggregator, share this post with them.

Thanks! 🙏

@preslavrachev
This is an interesting idea, probably useful to many people. You need to describe it better though. Maybe something like: "Murmel e-mails you links to the most important news stories of the day by checking what the people you follow on Mastodon are discussing." (That's probably still too long.)

This Grauniad story forgets Kim Campbell, Canadian prime minister for 132 days in 1993, between when Brian Mulroney resigned because the entire country hated him and the election where the party was reduced from 156 seats to two.

@wdenton I heard on that Ms. Sheinbaum is the first woman elected to lead a North American country — PM Campbell was chosen by her party but didn't win a mandate from the public. Possibly The Guardian heard such a claim, the muddled it.

Can anyone give me examples of Western media that manage to both avoid white savior narratives and tell a story in which the more-than-human world is valued as something actually more-than human?

@mpjgregoire@cosocial.ca avatar

@dynamic This is probably not the best answer, but since no one has proposed something better, let me suggest Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.

Once again, the one-sided of Mastodon means we're not exposed to other points of view. Here I see nothing but delight that Mr. Trump was convicted; on Twitter I also read people arguing that the prosecutor's case was bad law, that Mr. Trump's slimy behaviour wasn't felonious and people are right to be outraged by a politically-motivated prosecution.

(E.g., here's an argument from a lawyer who opposes Mr. Trump and his conviction: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-ridiculousness-of-the-trump-indictment-part-two-the-federal-felony-hook-problem/ )

"He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion."

minister of higher ed won’t yield on reforms despite financial hits to ,

“Quebec’s university policy changes are part of Déry’s effort to increase funding for French universities and reduce the number of non-French speakers in ’s post-secondary institutions.

French Language Minister Roberge has also complained too much English is being spoken on Montreal streets.”

@brian_gettler @AnnaAnthro Québec -- francophones included -- benefits from the presence of #McGill, #Concordia and #BishopsUniversity . If the government would start by acknowledging that, then we could have a productive conversation about what role they should play in #Québec society.

https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/05/28/news/PBO-carbon-price-report-Liberals - turns out the PBO fudged the numbers the CPC's been citing for how horrible the consumer carbon price is, then quietly retracted their fudged numbers over a month ago. I'm sure we'll see this reported widely any second now...

@npilon And now there has been prominent reporting: it was on the At Issue Panel this week. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncS9EqBOBis

For reference for the curious, the Parliamentary Budget Office has announced that they miscalculated the effect of the on Canadian citizens. A correction will be issued in Fall 2024.

I actually don't know how to send PGP encrypted emails. Looked at a guide for thunderbird, I do not have enough mental capital for that rn.

A interesting organization asked for emails to be encrypted, and I am not even going to write them 😢

mpjgregoire,
@mpjgregoire@cosocial.ca avatar

@douginamug Once you get it set up, it's not probably not so hard to use. That's what I found using PGP with #gnus

I recommend #Protonmail to other members of my family; unlike me, they prefer webmail systems.
