Interesting, thanks for sharing!

It’s likely not as bad as you think. :) It took a bit of adjusting for me realising I didn’t have several endless AskReddit threads a day to scroll through, but for 99% of my usage it’s great here. It’s also nice being able to interact with posts while not being one of the first commenters. I get more interactions here than Reddit. The only things I go to Reddit for are specific subreddits like dashcam videos, but that’s a once a month or perhaps less frequent affair.

Genuine curiosity, why would Canada Post get into banking? Do they have some administrative advantages that would help, or is there no better department?

I remember everyone saying the exact same in 2016. “Maybe Dems will reflect.” Other than putting up a white man for 2020, I can’t see a single difference in their approach ever since.

Not normal, but I have seen 100x more false positives than real detections over the years. Proceed with caution, but as long as it isn’t an EXE you’re running and/or the author seems trustworthy, I wouldn’t worry much.

She literally said this though.

“I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power.”

In the context of this chain, it should be noted most immigrants don’t go through US grade schools.

I’ll have to give it another go! I was absolutely loving the feature in beta, however the experience was dampened by intermittent game crashes that stopped the moment I disabled this feature. Classic AMD driver issue, most likely.

Didn’t voting already start? Feel like they should have put this out earlier, although I don’t know how many people down south vote early.

They should get a D or something, not an F. Their options are not overly plant-based friendly (can I just say “vegan friendly”?), but after researching their menu you are able to piece together vegan options from what they give you.

It should be noted, however, that that option is not plant-based by default. They make it with regular egg-based mayonnaise and you have to request it taken off.

Force feeding estrogen to CEOs to break the glass ceiling. Woke.

I’ll throw my -opinion- in the ring here because no one else is saying it the same way.

• Echoing what other people said, finding a server was hard especially as at the time I thought defederating seemed stupid (changed my mind somewhat now that I use Lemmy). Then once signed up discovery was/is a pain. How do I find good accounts when they aren’t synced with the instance I am on? Fuck if I know, I never found an equivalent to lemmyverse.net for mastodon.
• Now into the big problem I had: federation was a pain. It was my first interaction with a federated service that isn’t email and it was confusing and annoying. Finally find an account you like? Well you either can’t see any of their posts or the few you can have 1 reply and 5 likes. Eventually you realise you have to click onto the account’s instance to see everything and they have 100 replies and 500 likes (made-up numbers, obviously) but guess what you can’t interact with any of them because you are no longer on your instance. It basically forced me to browse logged out for 99% of my browsing, constantly following links between websites. I have not had quite the same trouble with Lemmy because despite having some similar problems, it has been a LOT quicker to sync especially once you point your instance to another.
• The lack of algorithm or fine control of my feed was off-putting. I still hate that Facebook and other platforms make it hard or impossible to sort chronologically, but having only chronological makes for a potential to miss out on massive amounts of stuff.
• And on a personal note, I think I’m just falling out of favour with the idea of a microblogging platform with strangers. If my friends used it things might be different.

I did try out Firefish and enjoyed that way more as it had a fun and engaging UI and lots of extra features, but it holds the same federation and discovery issues.

In the imaginary world where Gmail required you to visit Outlook to view the entire thread because it hadn’t synced yet, yeah sure they’re exactly the same. In the real world the email comparison stops being useful beyond explaining how @ monikers work.

Are you being purposefully obtuse? Proton is based on Wine yes, but it is it’s own distinct project.

Quite the opposite, it’s very very old. :)

ilk noun

• family, class, or kind: “he and all his ilk.”

Considering the thread title of “Meta”, the fact that Meta used to be called Facebook, and Albatross’s wording “and it’s ilk”, it should be safe to assume we are talking about Meta as a whole and not just Facebook.com.

I was worried of the same thing, but my purchase of several hundred CAD did not have any duties applied. Of course every country and even purchase can be different.

What if I make $25k a year but have aspirations to make $1M a year? I’m torn!
