OSS is a corporate lie. What you are describing is free software. Freedom to modify and distribute

You'd be amazed how many people have strong sensitivities to most surfactants, or outright allergies to some of the more common ingredients. They can be right beside you in an elevator after years of not using soap, and you won't know.

Shhhh... Dont let anyone know i havent used soap for years (unless i did something really dirty/greasy)

Maggie stuck in the newspaper box?

Homer writes a note using canned cheese and attaches it to SLH to go get help.

SLH eats the note.

Is it the short stories episode? That one is the GOAT

I was talking to someone about this very same postal issue, and his example was DHL. "Privatization turned them around! They're now an international company!!!"

Why the fuck does canada post need to be competing internationally? Just deliver the mail and have a gov't presence in small towns to provide other services.

Just spend the money to service canadians... It doesnt have to be profitable nor an international competitor

Also, DHL sucks...

Had privatization ever worked out? Like, ever?

Yes. It works out really nicely for our oligarchs.

I dont really understand their business model.

Hosting these huge model files. Why cant facebook/goog/m$ just do that on their own?

How did these massive ai giants end up relying on huggingface for everything?

Hey, i fall into the dentist group! But i totally advocate for bike lanes, and i'm not white...

There are dozens of us at the local critical mass ride!!! I make it a point to show up in my ridiculous spandex gear to show people the dentists aren't all assholes. Also, good spandex is really comfy.

Why the hate?? Yeah i sunk a lot of money into my hobby, but thats what people do. People spend tens of thousands on camera gear, gaming rigs, etc. Why hate on others' expensive hobbies?

I'm actually not that rich, but living car free and biking every day has allowed me to allocate a lot of money towards my hobbies. Cars are a total money sink... 10yrs ago it was around $6k/year TCO. I'm sure it's more now...

You should put an additional qualifier on your dentist description.... Carries their $20k bike on top of their $80k SUV. Drives 2 hours out of the city just to ride around for an hour...

There's a bit in the simspons where activists burn down a lab and a robot runs out of the building screaming "why??? Why was i programmed to feel pain?"

Yeah, but then its majka's job to be the road captain and give new instructions. I can just imagine the convo when majka joined del toro in the valley...

RM: "YOU LET YATES TAKE HOW MANY MINUTES?????"
IDT: "DS told me to stay with carapaz...."
RM: "OK, we close the gap now. Brandon and i will pace you up the final climb"
IDT: "nah, i'm good fam..."

Like, bro, burn that energy earlier when it mattered.

Everyone is able to do a 5 second flat sprint no matter how tired... It doesnt mean you didnt empty the tank on a climb...

I was hoping yates would crack and gee gets on the podium....

WOW.....

I'm really happy for yates though. I cant imagine carrying that 2018 loss in your mind for so long. Or maybe he already overcame that psychological barrier.

Also, del toro didnt mention having bad legs in the finish line interview..... He just wanted to gamble that carapaz would defend his second place????

UAE DS should be fired.....

Does anyone remember when canada was building one of the world's most advanced fighter jets and cancelled it because the americans said they would build a missile defense shield that would protect us instead?

Make the avro arrow great again!!!!

"The Rant" guy is back. And this time, promoting Canada instead of sub-par beer.

Way better than the original rant.

Literally crying while watching this.

Fun fact: it's Jeff Douglas from CBC Radio

 

as the title says, i checked the "Open links in a new tab" option, but posts still open in the same tab. anyone else having this problem?

using firefox on debian linux, if that matters...

 

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

 

Has there been a major spike in user registrations or any other metric? I've never seen something "go viral" like this on lemmy before.

 

I just got back from 6 weeks away from home and totally forgot hockey started while i was gone.

I also wasnt paying attention on the offseason either.

What did i miss?

With the whole XZ compromise, i am now rethinking the pros and cons of using f-droid

Google play: trust the developer, trust google's vetting process and distribution

F-droid: trust the developer, trust f-droid build tools and distribution

So in both cases, the developer could be either knowingly or unknowingly including malicious code in their code or apk... We cant really do anything about that. Have to trust the developer, or build from source yourself.

Once the apk is produced and sent to google, it is unlikely to be altered before being downloaded on to your phone. (Assuming your threat model does NOT include google being coerced by state level actors to send you a bad .apk)

F-droid's entire build chain and distribution seems like a relatively easy target for building and distributing bad .apks. We're talking about the difference between attacking google, vs. attacking a small community supported website.

Dont get me wrong, i'm a long time f-droid user and donor. I'm just thinking out loud and seeing if anyone else has similar concerns.

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

 

I'm looking to qualify for boston (M41, 3:10 for my age group)

Current PR is 3:20

Is having a coach worth my money and their time? I have no delusions of being an elite runner. Is coaching a good tool for my current level?

 

i guess i just experienced one of the biggest downsides to the fediverse that people have been talking about. instance suddenly disappeared with no warning. i guess i've lost my follow list
