Oh, we do have a !talesfromtechsupport
community (link). Looks like the mod is inactive and the community doesn’t have that many subscribers
Maybe we can try making a new one here on programming.dev
I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

As of 2017, the rules in Canada have been the following:
All new devices in Canada must be sold unlocked, and carriers must offer to unlock existing phones free-of-charge
That’s part of why I clicked the article, I was confused if I read it correctly
The article is nice, but I’m not sure if I’d send it to friends that aren’t familiar with the fediverse. It seems to gloss over some problems and focus less relevant ones
It doesn’t touch on the issues with Blueskys protocol and makes it sound like an equivalent choice (or worse, a better choice). In the downsides section it touches on racism in badly moderated instances, and the difficulty of setting up an instance. Those issues aren’t relevant to the vast majority of users who will join a large instance that has defederated from the bad stuff.
It’s a nice article for those who are already somewhat familiar, but a bad first impression
Very cool, thank you!
This is both really cool, and really unsettling. I wonder if this research might help in the other direction as well, such as with transplants and grafts

sarcasm is already hard to understand online, even harder for generative AI
I know sometimes I would take a peek at the person’s comment history to see if they were well informed / a shill for the product. The AI can’t do that
I’ve seen some dashboards around, is this what you’re looking for?
This part of the interview felt relevant to the fediverse (note that this was pasted from a transcript, and you might find it easier to watch the video than read the transcript):
Australia’s safety commissioner recently took on Elon Musk for example requesting the removal of vision of a stabbing in a church here in Sydney. It was unsuccessful, should tech platforms be held responsible for spreading that sort of content.
Well I think we need to break that question down and actually question the form that tech platforms have taken, because we live in a world right now where there are about five major social media platforms that are very literally shaping the global information environment for everyone. So we have a context where these for-profit surveillance tech actors have outsized control over our information environment, and present a very very attractive political target to those who might want to shape, or misshape, that information environment. So I think we need to go to the root of the problem. The issue is not that every regulator doesn’t get a chance to determine appropriate or inappropriate content. The issue is that we have a one-size fits all approach to our shared information ecosystem, and that these companies are able to determine what we see or not, via algorithms that are generally calibrated to increase engagement; to promote more hyperbolic or more inflammatory content, and that we should really be attacking this problem at the root: beginning to grow more local and rigorous journalism outside of these platforms and ensuring that there are more local alternatives to the one-size fits-all surveillance platform business model.
We also just spun up a new community for the MMR patients
Feel free to join :)
No worries! I didn’t read it properly until after I already left a comment. I was too excited to share lol
I think both Lemmy and Boost have this functionality, although there have been some bugs in Lemmy web UI after the recent update
For Boost, hit the share button on the post and then “Cross-Post, Post to Lemmy”
edit: Unless you mean posting in a few communities all at once, which I agree would be cool
Definitely this one, the products are sometimes placed right next to legitimate ones and worse:

Hidden camera reveals some pharmacists recommend homeopathic products to treat kids’ cold and flu
I sometimes come across influencers pushing chrio “treatments” on pets or newborns, saying it makes them “breathe better” or be “more energetic”
It’s infuriating
My guess is that it’s a simpler word that is more memorable and ‘biological’ sounding. So people are more likely to remember it over mutualism
Oops, should be fixed now
Thanks!
Looks cool, I like the lists of games in the sidebar
Feel free to promote on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca as well
Didn’t realize it was happening, is there a post somewhere about it that I can link people to?
