In 2023, what was then still called Twitter, open-sourced at least portions of the code that decided what it served up in your feed. But that GitHub repository is hopelessly out of date, with the vast majority of the files appearing to be from the initial upload three years ago. Elon Musk says that in seven days, he will open-source X’s new algorithm and finally give people a peek behind the curtain and possibly a technical explanation as to why your feed is 90 percent rage bait.

<p>The walkout, which will affect thousands of riders, is scheduled for June 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, and 17. Service will be reduced outside of key rush hour periods, meaning anyone trying to get around mid-day — or in the evening — will likely be out of luck.</p><p>According to the STM, transit will operate during the following daily time blocks:</p><ul><li><strong>Morning:</strong> 6:15 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. (Metro: 6:30 a.m. to 9:38 a.m.)</li><li><strong>Afternoon:</strong> 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. (Metro: 2:45 p.m. to 5:48 p.m.)</li><li><strong>Late night:</strong> 11:15 p.m. to 1:15 a.m. (Metro: 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.)</li></ul><p>The exception is Wednesday, June 12, when the schedule will be slightly extended:</p><ul><li><strong>Morning:</strong> 6:15 a.m. to 10:15 a.m.</li><li><strong>Afternoon:</strong> 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.</li><li><strong>Late night:</strong> 11:15 p.m. to 1:15 a.m.</li></ul><blockquote class="rm-embed twitter-tweet" data-partner="rebelmouse" data-twitter-tweet-id="1930274462554837363">

<p>Outside of those hours, bus and metro service will either be offline or operating at 50% capacity, depending on the route.</p><p>If you're a student or parent wondering about school commutes, there's some good news: the STM confirmed that dedicated school bus services will continue to operate, even outside of peak hours on June 9, 10, and 11, despite the strike.</p><p>And for those heading to the <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/tag/montreal-grand-prix" target="_blank">Canadian Grand Prix</a> or its surrounding festivities, don't panic. Regular STM service will not be affected during the race weekend from June 13 to 15, thanks to a temporary agreement made to ensure crowds can get to and from Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.</p><p>The upcoming strike was called by STM maintenance workers as part of an ongoing push for better working conditions. It comes on the heels of pressure tactics from other STM staff, including metro operators and bus drivers. <a href="https://scfp.qc.ca/les-membres-de-la-section-locale-1983-se-prononcent-massivement-en-faveur-de-la-greve/" target="_blank">Union reps</a> say their members are fed up and ready to take action after negotiations stalled.</p><p>The STM says there will be no refunds for monthly or weekly passes that have already been validated. However, unused passes may still be refunded or rescheduled according to the <a href="https://www.artm.quebec/en/fare-schedules/" target="_blank">ARTM's standard exchange and refund policy</a>.</p><p>For the full schedule and updates, check <a href="https://www.stm.info/en/info/service-updates/info-strike" target="_blank">STM's official strike info page</a>.</p><p><em>Love this?
