> >Earlier this month, a Quebec Superior Court judge ruled in a class-action lawsuit that racial profiling is a systemic problem in the Montreal police force, and that the city is responsible for profiling committed by its police officers. Justice Dominique Poulin ordered the City of Montreal to pay $5,000 to people arrested without justification and racially profiled. > > > >The force has also released two reports since 2019 showing that racialized people are disproportionately targeted by police during random street checks.

    No before shot as it's been a while since I bought this, but the previous item was in the same can, filled almost to the top, and 500g.

    Proton Mail (Android / Web / Desktop): Automatic attachment upload to Proton Drive

    Hello!

    As per the title, I think it would be really useful to have an automatic upload and attachment of any items over the 25MB limit to Proton Drive. This is something I sorely miss from Gmail which makes sending some types of emails a pain as I have to first upload it to Drive, create a public link, keep track of all my publicly shared files, and make sure the link works before placing it awkwardly in my email.

    Proton Calendar Android - No multi-account support

    Hello!

    As per the title, Proton Calendar for Android does not appear to support multiple signed in accounts.

    This means I can only get notifications for personal appointments or client meetings, but not both, and the web version never prompts to enable notifications on Android. I am thus liable to miss events on whichever calendar I am not currently signed into.

    This is not an acceptable level of support for a professional suite. Is there a roadmap for when this feature will be added?

    Working with MPI on a hit and run with evidence

    A family member was recently a victim of a hit and run on her parked car. We know there is evidence that is easy to get, but MPI is refusing to work with us.

    A police report was filed, there were eye witnesses, the suspect visited a weed store, got carded there, bought weed, and then performed the hit and run in full view of their camera system with their plate fully visible. The weed store knows who it is.

    However, MPI is showing little interest in actually investigating, and this means the victim will have to pay the $200 deductible for something that wasn't their fault and is easily solvable. They keep pressuring MPI at every call that there is evidence and they just have to go get it (as I actually walked into the weed store to ask questions and asked them to keep aside the video evidence, one of their employees was also hit), but so far they have done nothing.

    Does anyone know of a process that would push MPI to actually investigate such a thing? TIA

    BIXI got breached

    I know this because I use SimpleLogin to provide each service with its own specialized email address. You can see in the picture the address starts with bixi@sl.\\\*

    It's also possible but unlikely that they sold user data.

    Proton mail android: Inline attachments + Seeing / removing existing attachments

    On Android, I noticed two major features that are missing that make it extremely difficult to use the mobile version for me:

    1. I can't add inline attachments. This makes communicating with clients and pointing at stuff impossible on mobile.
    2. I can't browse existing attachments to view and remove them. This means I have to start my reply all over again and delete the draft if I uploaded the wrong thing, and I can't validate that I did upload the right thing.

    Also, pasting into a message body is broken on the beta, but working on stable (the only option is "select all")

    There's also no rich text, which is sometimes painful when writing long emails on the go, and it means I can't bold stuff to indicate importance.

    I also had issues with sent emails from drafts where a draft was created on mobile, finished on the web and sent, the mobile client will show as if I had sent the unfinished mobile draft, which sent me into a panic last night haha.
