Modern social media: Feed algorithm bots curating and serving up bot-created content for other bots to create fake engagement on so that advertising bots can find the real humans that still exist in the desolate wastelands and market them bot-created ads.

Using the wrong version of "its" is pretty hamas there, bro.

Personally speaking: Fuck adding another app to my phone. Go visit justwatch.com

The short answer is: Because the Northern states that we share a land border with currently observe Daylight Saving Time and we've been waiting literally years for the States to figure their shit out.

You're thinking about "device-bound passkeys". Bitwarden and any other third-party credential manager leverages "synced passkeys" because they don't control the hardware.

Synced passkeys are actually called out in the FIDO Alliance's FAQs as preferred since they more closely align with the desired replacement of traditional passwords.

It's an interesting thought to consider that without access to centralized distribution platforms like app stores, something incredibly similar is created in its place: The so-called "super-app" (e.g. WeChat, Alipay).

How the people of Saskatchewan keep these clowns employed as their leaders is a mystery. The province is rapidly becoming the Mississippi of Canada.

It's probably less wise to assume that someone is basing their vote entirely on a single grievance they express.

Personally I wouldn't be too dismissive upfront. Relevant part of the article:

But the more charitable — and, Shariff believes, more accurate — view could be related to the bystander effect.

The well-studied theory posits that people are less likely to offer help if there are many other people around. It could be because they think other people are better-positioned to help, or because they do not know what to do in an unfamiliar situation and look to others for cues to the acceptable social response.

Compare a car crash today vs in the years before everyone had a globally-connected computer with an attached high-definition camera in their pocket. Back then horrific car crashes still happened, and what did the majority of bystanders also do back then? Just stood and watched.

Clarity matters a lot in legal documents. Anyone else remember the case of the comma that cost millions?

Don't get me wrong, this is a win and worthy of setting a legal precedent, however I am skeptical of the first line in the article:

Earlier this year in Halifax, a former sex worker won a precedent-setting case.

If this was Small Claims court, are there examples of rulings from this court actually setting precedent for other courts (e.g. Lower or Superior courts)?

Doc saw his opportunity to diversify out and pursue his lifelong desire to be a preacher 😂

Hi folks,

Just found this community and curious about what everyone is either using as a daily driver or have got their eyes on in the EV space.

I'm from Vancouver, and a few years ago my partner and I bought a new Chevrolet Volt PHEV as a "bridge" car to get us through the next while as charging infrastructure scales out. We get about 100km of electric range in the warmer times and 70km in the winter. Perfect for our needs around Vancouver, while still giving us flexibility to drive out to Whistler or Banff for our vacation roadtrips.

So what are you driving?
