"Open links in a new tab" option doesn't do anything for me

not sure if this is an issue just with this instance, or a general lemmy problem.

I have the options "Open links in a new tab" checked, but nothing ever opens in a new tab. this has been a problem for me for almost 3 years on this instance. i just assumed it would be fixed in an update some day.

using firefox on debian, if that makes a difference

Bienvenue à Premier Tech! (Premier Tech joins St Michel - Preference Home - Auber93)

Premier Tech joins St Michel – PREFERENCE HOME – Auber93 as a major partner for the next two seasons.

This new support is fully in line with the project of development of our club in the medium term and marks a new stage in our international opening.

“The arrival of Premier Tech is an important milestone for our structure. Like us, the international Canadian-based company led by Jean Bélanger is committed to the development of cycling in all its forms. We share the same vision: that of a mixed and open cycling, driven by the diversity of talents. We are very pleased to welcome Premier Tech and share this common ambition together,” said Charlie Nerzic, Deputy General Manager of the team.

This partnership facilitated the arrival of three high-level Canadian cyclists on our women’s team, Alison Jackson, and Quebec women’s Simone Boilard and Clara Émond.

“This opportunity is fully aligned with the reasons why Premier Tech has been involved in cycling for more than 30 years, which is to create bridges at all levels of sport and to contribute to the development of Quebec and Canadian cyclists,” said Jean Bélanger, President and CEO of Premier Tech.

Premier Tech will appear on the jerseys of our professional men and women teams, as well as on the outfits of our runners and runners of the club, all categories combined. The name of our pro teams will remain in 2026: St Michel – PREFERENCE HOME – Auber93.

i like this move... sponsors look clean, and premier tech is committed to developing canadian cyclists, especially the women.

Kanuk, le Québec made in China (FR)

Another made in Canada brand goes down... Dont let them fool you with "Concu au Canada/Designed in Canada". No problem if you want to keep buying the brand, but if they dont drop the prices then dont pay "made in canada" prices for chinese made stuff.

Brands still made in canada (specifically QC): Quartz (only the winter coats) and Audvik

Private chat app using wifi only. No SIM available

My niece has an old iphone with no SIM/phone number. Only wifi internet access.

Looking for an app for both of us to be able to chat

She cant chat with me over signal because no phonee number. She chats with the rest of the family over imessage, but i have an android phone

Is there an app available for both android and iphone to let me chat with her?

Thanks

Edit: willing to self-host for extra privacy. My nieces and nephews are all young children so i definitely want to encourage/educate them to get off corporate controlled communications channels

[Rumour] "Remco Evenepoel is seeking to leave Soudal-QuickStep ..."

EDIT: if you're going to downvote the post, please comment and say why.... i'm happy to learn what kind of content is not welcome here. this is a very new community that's a bit dead and lacking content. so it's not really helpful to just downvote things without saying why at this early stage

full text from the bird site thread:

Remco Evenepoel is seeking to leave Soudal-QuickStep, various close sources have informed RadioCycling, with the world champion unhappy about the team’s future direction and doubting if they can support his ambitions, such as winning the Tour de France in 2024.

We understand that Evenepoel’s camp have contacted a number of teams after concerns over QuickStep’s finances. Evenepoel also doesn’t believe his wage compares with that of his peers. It's thought he earns no more than €4m after bonuses, compared to Pogačar’s reported €7m.

One close source to Evenepoel said: “It will all come down to money… and his current contract underpays him. Patrick Lefevere needs to adapt his contract or risk conflict.”

Evenepoel has a contract until the end of 2026 and we understand there are no breakout clauses.

Ineos Grenadiers are the clear favourites to sign Evenepoel and met with his representatives last autumn. But RadioCycling understands that Israel-PremierTech are also a genuine possibility, with Evenepoel’s camp having very close relationships with Israel staff members

Despite rumours linking both Lidl-Trek and Bora-hansgrohe to Evenepoel, senior sources at both teams said they haven’t opened up discussions with the 23-year-old. Multiple sources have confirmed that any transfer would be a “package deal” involving Specialized.

Signing Evenepoel, however, is not easy. Despite reports to the contrary, sources have confirmed that all outstanding bonuses have been paid, therefore there is no contract breach. Patrick Lefevere told RadioCycling: “I don’t owe €1 to anybody. Everything is paid.”

That means the only possibility for Evenepoel departing is if someone buys out his remaining contract, something that is likely to cost in excess of €10m. Lefevere insists that he won't sell.

He also rubbished claims Ineos owner Jim Ratcliffe could buy QuickStep’s licence.

just some rumour fodder to fill some time on TdF rest day

seems bonkers insane that IPT is in the conversation, given that sylvan adams is already regretting setting a pile of cash on fire with froomey
