Ms. is fine. It's the equivalent of Mr., gendered but without implying anything about martial status. It's distinct from Mrs. and Miss.

I'm not on your instance but I agree with this 100% and if people start posting more raw fediverse links hopefully app support will improve too.

As far as the lock one, I have watched the lock picking lawyer open a padlock with a ramset gun 🙄 so yes it does work.

I asked Food Basics if they're using facial recognition (lemmy.ca)

I wanted to know if my local Food Basics store is tracking me.

I looked at the privacy policy on foodbasics.ca and not finding any mention of this, but wanting to be sure, I emailed their Privacy Officer.

This is the email I sent:

Hello,

I shop at the food basics store at [Address] in [City],

I would like to know if you use facial recognition or identification technology in the store? And if so, for what purpose, and if the information is stored for how long?

Thank you,
[Me]

Here is the response I got:

Hello,

I confirm that Metro does not use facial recognition technology or any other technology that allows the identification of individual at the Food Basics stores.

Best regards

Why is this so funny to me…? by baggins in c/[email protected]

The comic subverts our expectations when we expect that "it's complicated" is just an easy way to brush off the question only to find out that the answer is in fact, complicated. The juxtaposition of a normal social situation with the absurdity of the mouse hospital pizza parlor serves to further build the humour in this comic.

So glad I paid $300 to take that humour theory class in college.

ELI5 why so many countries are supporting Israel committing genocide? (lemmy.ca)

When I was in school we were taught genocide is a crime against humanity, now the USA and other countries act like Israel has blackmail material on all their leaders. What causes so many countries to be supporting them like this?

Life Pro Tip: Register an LLC to buy your steam games under. The LLC will never die and you can transfer ownership of the business entity while it retains control of the steam account.

The timing of this immediately made me think of the article posted the other day about there being no news since it happened a year ago.

Amazon hides cheaper items with faster delivery, lawsuit alleges by baggins in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 126 points 6 months ago

Price and quality issues aside- when I do go on Amazon it's because I want to buy from Amazon. Not some random business shipping stuff from the other side of the country. Can't stand how every store has a 'marketplace' of random overpriced AliExpress crap on their sites these days.
