That’s very weird. Can you hold down the shift key and refresh the page? That should do a hard refresh

The bot seems to be having issues with the body text, it is from a different article (linked at the bottom)

I am leaving this post up so that the maintainer can look into what happened.

Adjustable leveling feet that I designed and 3D printed. You can kick them over with your toe to adjust and get rid whatever wobble appears in that particular spot.

Well that’s cool!

We do, three new cases in 2024

As each region eliminates a disease, it gets easier for the remaining regions to deal with it

British Columbia had a similar sequence of events play out last year

For several years, British Columbians have been tantalized with the promise of no longer needing to spring forward or fall back for the time change twice a year for Daylight Savings. Now, it seems they’ll be waiting even longer for this to become reality.

About one week ago, the B.C. Conservative Party, the Official Opposition, introduced a bill to stop future time changes in the province.

During that announcement, Eby was asked about stopping the time change, and his answer made it clear that it wasn’t necessarily a priority in light of other more pressing issues that have come up.

Some extra info:

Summary

• The Rainbow, Jordan and Frisby valleys in British Columbia’s rare inland temperate rainforest are home to endangered species and ancient trees.
• Two logging companies hold licences to log in the old-growth valleys, while the government agency BC Timber Sales has operating areas there.
• A 2019 proposal to permanently protect 10,500 hectares in the three valleys as a provincial park has gained renewed interest as Revelstoke city council announced in February that it supports increased conservation of the critically endangered inland temperate rainforest.

I think people are more likely to join platforms like this if they have lost trust in the other platforms, which also makes them more distrustful and cautious in otherwise normal interactions

We could all have more patience with one another 😄

I did want to read some comments discussing the contents of the article. I’ll pop back later I guess

We need a browser extension with a whitelist for accounts that are either verified, or created before 2022. If the extension gets popular and people start buying old accounts to post spam on, then it would also need a blacklist for confirmed spammers.

That’s an excerpt from the piece, from one author section, not OP. While it is possible that the author used AI for their section, it’s also a common style for this kind of publication (which is why LLMs often emulate it).

I agree that the original author should know better

They usually do decent reporting, and they’ve been around for a few decades now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Walrus

Supposedly Amnezia is an anti censorship tool, however Facebook has a terrible track record with recommending VPNs. The previous one turned out to be spyware

Onavo, Inc. was an Israeli mobile web analytics company that was purchased by Facebook, Inc. (now Meta Platforms), who changed the company’s name to Facebook Israel.[1] The company primarily performed its activities via consumer mobile apps, including the virtual private network (VPN) service Onavo Protect, which analysed web traffic sent through the VPN to provide statistics on the usage of other apps.

Guy Rosen and Roi Tiger founded Onavo in 2010. In October 2013, Onavo was acquired by Facebook, which used Onavo’s analytics platform to monitor competitors. This influenced Facebook to make various business decisions, including its 2014 acquisition of WhatsApp.

Since the acquisition, Onavo was frequently classified as being spyware, as the VPN was used to monetize application usage data collected within an allegedly privacy-focused environment. In August 2018, Facebook was forced to pull Onavo Protect from the iOS App Store due to violations of Apple’s policy forbidding apps from collecting data on the usage of other apps. In February 2019, in response to criticism over a Facebook market research program employing similar techniques (including, in particular, being targeted towards teens), Onavo announced that it would close the Android version of Protect as well.

Schools can choose to start later in the day if they find it helpful, without needing everyone else to change their clocks and schedules too

Looks cool! I’d love to see local buynothing groups have a Fediverse alternative.

Out of curiosity, is there any standard or common format around location data for Fediverse platforms?

Thanks for sharing! I cross posted it to !dataisbeautiful@mander.xyz

I made accounts on a few instances, but I stuck with this one (and eventually joined the team) for the same reasons
