@Gladaed @grte That is a real freight train, as far as I can tell. But it looks weird because it appears they photoshopped or told AI to remove the (likely Canadian Pacific) logos off the side of the locomotive and owner logos off train cars, and the train numbers off the grey rounded rectangles. In railfan parlance, this locomotive model is a "Gevo"... compare with this photo of a similar engine.

    Loops vs. PeerTube for video host

    Hey friends, I'm thinking of starting up an ActivityPub compatible server to host and share my own train videos with the Fediverse, and wondering: Of the two video-oriented softwares, which would be a better fit for my use case and easier to work with? The videos would be between 15 seconds and 10 minutes long.

    Comparisons, pros and cons, and your experiences working with either would be appreciated. Thanks. @fediverse

     

    Here's why I think Parliament chose to fund the NDP despite no official status...

    I think it's because the Conservatives and BQ know that a two party-system would become a 1.75-party one in reality, giving the Liberals lasting power at their own expense. The Terrebonne and other byelections make that quite clear. We need a space for Canada's left flank. And an end to FPTP.

    @cabbage @cecilkorik @brianpeiris There's an initiative in the works to try and answer these questions, forming a co-operative structure dedicated to hosting video platform(s) in a way that can support the needs of creators, viewers and supporters. Focused on Canadian content but hoping to create a widely replicable model. It's polling for names and other feedback right now, have your say:

    TGV Canadien proposé est sur la liste des grands projets

    PM #MarkCarney a révélé la liste des projets à prioritiser. Le train à grand vitesse《Alto》apparaît au 11ème élément, dans un groupe avec des autres projets qui n'ont pas assez avancées pour actionner immédiatement.
    https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2191692/liste-projets-interet-national-ottawa-contrecoeur

    On doit patienter pour quelques ans, mais j'espère qu'on va bientôt entendre plus de détails.

    This is the right move. Imagine if politicians were paid only for the time they were at their seat.

    Railroad unions have followed the process by the book, and there's still no resolution after being in court for a year now:

    Being forced to go back to a job under-compensated is an untenable situation here. Something needed to be done lest we lose our right to collective labour action.

    The RailDriver train simulator controller only has official Windows support.

    After reading the technical documentation from the makers, I cobbled together a "driver" that reads input messages then puts it out as a virtual device like an xbox controller.

    With two translation layers, and with calibration required every time, I am able to play TrainSimWorld with it, because out of the box it can't seem to recognize it.

    38.1% fewer Canadians returned to Canada by road from the US last month compared to May 2024.

    By air, 24.2% fewer Canadians came back from the US, whereas from all countries was only a 3.7% decline. So, excluding the US, international trips actually increased (my rough estimate about +3.8%).

    See the data from this month's StatCan data, "Leading indicator of international arrivals to Canada, May 2025"
