I got a similar message from that user and a near identical one earlier from a lemmings.world account. The latter onr also had links to a peertube channel with a different angle thumbnail of what appears to be the same person.

If you had an established profile and DM’d me I’d be more humoured to respond to out-of-the-blue introductions. But seeing that both accounts were created today, no public activity and immediately giving yourself a horny-bait nickname set off all the BS alarms.

What’s new?

Anyways my top voted all time post was an OC meme about reposts.

Reddthat has downvotes turned off, only upvotes are recorded on your instance. Jerboa (if that’s the client you’re talking about), has options to display downvotes as a percentage, up and down or net score only. Those options will only function if your instance records downvotes.

You can’t just get scores from other instances, that’s not how that works. The scores shown from each instances varies slightly due to different instances being linked. That’s helpful because if an egotistical admin spins up an instance with 5000 self-made accounts that all upvote a post that admin made, defederating that instance will remove the stuffed votes from the score.

I hope enough Canadians with two braincells to put together will know better. An election is coming here soon, and Moneybags Musk is going to dump loads into bringing American foot-kissers into our Parliament.

McMAGA: Make Canada Make America Go Away.

Yeah, conservatives like to randomly plug phrases of propaganda like unfunny inside jokes. Depending on my relationship with them I do one of the following.

1. Ignore if I’m not that close. Maybe roll my eyes a bit.
2. Push back on it if we’re in the context of world events/news/politics.
3. If we’re close enough, re-direct the culture war bullshit interjections with interjections of class war. If your friend sees it fit to just randomly call society lazy, you can also randomly call the upper capitalist class lazy government-teat sucking hoarders.

Mastodon’s filter system works wonders, where if you’re seeing too much of some keyword you can block that temporarily or permanently, and either erase it entirely from your feed or hide matching posts in a spoiler. It would be awesome if something like that could be adapted for Lemmy.

For current client-agnostic solutions, you can do any of the following on Lemmy:

• wait until the drama dies down
• select Top [time period], Active, Scaled, New Comment sorts until you find something you like
• change your scope to Local (for you that will be lemmy.ee only so nothing from the shown communities), or curate the comms you like to see and change scope to Subscribed.
• block the community you don’t want to see, then set a calendar reminder for when you can go to your settings on the web, find the blocks tab and unblock it.

If it’s up to each and every one of us to solve pollution, then we individuals need to get together and take down the highest polluters, through collective action (and hopefully not violence, but allegedly Luigi has shown us its effectiveness when everything else doesn’t work).

If Elon can go fsck himself that would be great. I sense a systematic lack of integrity from him.

Can it be expressed or represented approximately in IEEE-754 form?

I got my parents’ computer on KDE neon, with “brand new Plasma 5” years ago when Win 7 was going out of support, it had been solid as a rock and relatively problem-free over the years. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS was out of date for over a year, and Netflix stopped working, so I bought a new drive, upgraded from 4GB to 16GB RAM and clean installed KDE Neon with Plasma 6!

This is a 12 year old Toshiba Satellite laptop that is still going strong. (As an email, websurfing and video watching machine).

If Google were to buy a dataset from WebMD, every AI answer would also include “and you have cancer btw”.

They are a company that makes thinky-sand.

First they realized that if they forced everyone to use their thinky sand at school, they could charge a massively inflated price.

Then they realized that if they made the thinky-sand go boom, they could charge whatever they wanted.

They’ve got,

Yeah TD headquartered in Toronto has a big US subsidiary. The branches in Canada are called TD Canada Trust, the app right now is called the TD (Canada) app so is a little different.

I’m guessing that they have limited seats and are trying to make sure no one has to stand on the train by limiting the number of reservations, even if which seat to sit in is not assigned. In Japan, bullet trains and some express services require extra payment with your ticket or pre-booking, for either non-reserved or reserved class.

Look at their address and their warehouse, look at the website of the brands of products they sell and find their address. Are they Canadian or are they just a reseller of the same stuff coming from overseas?

When I want a cheap plastic thingy, or cheap hardware and electronics to play around with, I get it off aliexpress. It’s virtually the same stuff as amazon just for the patient. Most of that stuff is made in China already even if I get it from an online or local brick and mortar retailer, so it seems more direct to me, avoiding needless retransportation, warehousing and waste.

When I want a quality thing I buy it from a local shop, especially when I need to see it or compare before buying. I can often find a Canadian online retailer too with just a bit of sleuthing.

faced delays in obtaining Australian visas after being asked to complete to complete a 13-page document typically required for military personnel involved in war

Well, they were involved in war, no matter how much lipstick this article wants to put on the pig.

Like the invasions and occupations of Poland and Czechoslovakia were “forward defences” of Nazi Germany, of course.

Damascus is Hamascus or something? What’s the rationale this time? Because the disengagement agreement might not be enforced, Syria is free real estate?
