My keyboard’s autocomplete did a terrible job of finishing the sentence for sure… If I kept going it started repeating “good example of this in general” ad nauseum.

But Aeon has been good so far!

OpenSUSE Aeon is a good example of this in general and I think it is a good example of the way that it is used

Yep, that sounds like misrepresentation… Regardless of whether this amendment passes.

I guess the exception being compost derived methane / biogas?

We’ve done this with Home Assistant (on a raspberry pi), and Zwave / ZigBee. Its been working great for years. Also allows for really customizable alerts for different things - and has been super stable.

Not very difficult to setup either - the interface is pretty polished these days!

Not a lawyer, but this seems (1) a ridiculous response by the Alberta Government, and (2) perhaps unnecessary wording in an amendment, since misleading claims are already covered under the Competition Act?

The amendment to the competition act reads:

(b.‍1) makes a representation to the public in the form of a statement, warranty or guarantee of a product’s benefits for protecting or restoring the environment or mitigating the environmental, social and ecological causes or effects of climate change that is not based on an adequate and proper test, the proof of which lies on the person making the representation; (b.‍2) makes a representation to the public with respect to the benefits of a business or business activity for protecting or restoring the environment or mitigating the environmental and ecological causes or effects of climate change that is not based on adequate and proper substantiation in accordance with internationally recognized methodology, the proof of which lies on the person making the representation; or

And the current text of the Act reads:

Misrepresentations to public 74.01 (1) A person engages in reviewable conduct who, for the purpose of promoting, directly or indirectly, the supply or use of a product or for the purpose of promoting, directly or indirectly, any business interest, by any means whatever (a) makes a representation to the public that is false or misleading in a material respect (b) makes a representation to the public in the form of a statement, warranty or guarantee of the performance, efficacy or length of life of a product that is not based on an adequate and proper test thereof, the proof of which lies on the person making the representation;

So… my non-legal viewpoint is that making a misleading representation to the public is already covered by the competition act. The new wording clarifies the scope to explicitly include environmental misrepresentation (which seems completely fair given the amount of greenwashing we see - from consumer products through to natural resource extraction). The only potential challenge appears to be the “internationally recognized methodology”, especially where a methodology doesn’t exist. But in that case, perhaps companies should just refrain from making potentially misleading claims.

The Alberta government is just following its playbook once again of trying to position the feds as the enemy of Alberta… Because that’s easier for them, than actually coming up with good ideas.

I’ve had a pretty good experience with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, with a pretty similar use case / criteria.

I’ve done my share of tinkering, and while I learned a lot, and enjoyed Gentoo, Arch, Debian, NixOS, and others (Mandrake, Ubuntu), I sometimes I just want get my work done…

With Tumbleweed, there are a few packages that you’d need to install for codecs, but that’s easily done via the CLI zypper package manager with a single command.

I’d definitely recommend checking it out - its been a solid daily driver for almost 3-years now with very few issues, and lets me focus on getting stuff done. I wonder if this is due to their QA build process (OBS)?

Anyway, good luck & have fun whatever you choose!

Looks like they don’t allow direct linking to the PDF. I’ve updated the link.

If you’re looking for a comprehensive beer style guide, I’d recommend checking out the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) style guidelines: https://www.bjcp.org/bjcp-style-guidelines/

It’s a pretty comprehensive beer style guide, for those who want to go a bit deeper into all the variations of beer, with a decent amount of detail on each style.

From American Light Lagers through to some obscure and historical styles such as the Piwo Grodziskie, or Sahti… And everything in between.
