Not only that, but some road networks have gotten a lot more complex because everyone has a GPS or mapping software now.

I grew up when paper maps were already on the way out, so maybe it’s a ‘skill issue’ for me, but I would have a rough time figuring out lane changes and exits if I had to travel to a new part of greater Vancouver for the first time without GPS. It works fine when everyone is using software to help navigate, and I expect that it would be a mess otherwise.

The mayor of Bordeaux has said he is bracing for “all eventualities”, as one of multiple wildfires burning in France is now 15km (nine miles) from the south-western city.

User experience wise, Canvas > Moodle easily

I didn’t know Canvas was open source, that’s cool

Cool, looking forward to seeing what !ausmusic@quokk.au puts out for next year’s lemmyvision

We also have a sister community for !fns here: !indigenous@lemmy.ca

I haven’t tried any myself yet, but I’ve heard that watches have a hard time reading the data compared to bands that go around your arm or chest, or even the rings. I don’t think I’d enjoy wearing a ring while sleeping though

I have heard that a dedicated sleep tracking device will work better than the watches, but I don’t have any direct experience there.

Maybe you can find one that can export the data over a USB cable

Blorp seems to support it: select the three dots next to a username -> Author -> Tag Author

There is discussion about adding this to Lemmy proper: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1456

There are a few solid ones there. Photon and Blorp are my personal favourites on desktop

appreciate it :)

We wrote up a guide page on finding apps: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/threadiverse/apps

The short of it is that you can compare features using this site: https://www.lemmyapps.com/

There is this community that you use to discuss apps and read updates from devs: !lemmyapps@lemmy.world

I’m not sure to be honest, I think it might be to show up on search engine results. If that is the case, maybe there is a way to disincentivize them from doing that

That only works for people who are higher up in their field of work, since they can pick and choose who they work for

Most people going for junior/entry level roles don’t have that luxury

• Pixelfed for sharing public content
• Signal (or a similar messaging platform) for private stories / content intended for specific people

A “private” instagram account or story was never actually private, but that distinction is still helpful when recommending alternatives IMO

Then you can use something like libredirect with kittygram to view any Instagram only content in a privacy respecting way, like if you open a link

The mod in !selfhosted@lemmy.world has done a good job of updating the rules to deal with those. It seems like some SEO or supply chain scheme.

The ones mentioned in OP seem to be one user that is spreading their questions around multiple accounts, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing if they’re posted at a rate that would be fine with a single account, and if they aren’t using more than one account in a particular thread.

From what I remember about the deletion pattern, one of the accounts claimed to be doing it for mental health reasons. Whether that is true or not, to me it felt like they were creating bait posts to rile people up. People saw through it most of the time

We do have bots, but at least some of the weird activity mentioned in this post seems to be from a handful of real people that are using the platform in a weird way

I haven’t tried anything other than KDE plasma, but Niri looked interesting. CachyOS has Limine as a boot manager option, and I liked it

The distro has a lot of desktop environment options in general

https://wiki.cachyos.org/installation/desktop_environments/

CachyOS is pretty popular right now :)

Each instance is run by a different team, often based in different countries and jurisdictions. Day to day, the main differences will be around content policies (moderation, how openly federated it is)

It’s like picking between different email providers, just that all have more or less the same features.

We have these guides too

I like these kinds of posts :)

If anyone else finds it helpful to write out what they’ve learned, please do share it. Its a nice break from the subtle soapbox type posts

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-spirit

Its an umbrella term that is more common in North America

Two-spirit (also known as two spirit or occasionally twospirited,[a] or abbreviated as 2S,[b] especially in Canada) is a contemporary pan-Indian umbrella term used by some Indigenous North Americans to describe Native people who fulfill a traditional third-gender (or other gender-variant) social role in their communities.[2][3][4][5]

Isn’t this pretty normal? World leaders give ceremonial gifts all the time, and its usually to the office rather than the individual

In Canada’s case

According to Global Affairs Canada, “all official gifts are handled in accordance with applicable Canadian laws, security requirements and government policies.”

Carney said the RCMP deactivated the revolver, meaning it is no longer able to fire live ammunition.

“The next thing that went through my mind is this is something for the war museum or a CAF museum or something like that,” Carney said. “It’s interesting and it relates to NATO and the bigger picture,” Carney said.

“We’re going to find the best home for it.”
