Religions don’t tend to spring up from nowhere.

Let me introduce you to our good friend Ronald Hubbard and this pesky Religion called “Scientology”

You would be amazed.

At work we provide popup notifications for a week when a users password is close to expiring

They still miss it and need to call helpdesk

Also completely irrelevant and doesn’t do what he thinks he’s doing

I’ve fully moved to Linux with a 3080ti. Only non functional feature is HDR but that’s mostly a Linux issue

I went with PopOs and have had a pretty smooth experience

The problem is that there are trolls here and rage baiters.

Having an argument with them is their goal as it opens up discussion for them to contribute nothing and spread more division.

They aren’t trying to have a discussion but use the comment chain to spread shit for others.

The user here never called for opinions to be censored. He called for action against trolls and bots who intentionally try pushing false narratives and division

The fact you immediately jumped to argue about censorship rally evidence your own point for being here and that’s to be a shithead too

Proving op point

I deleted my 14 year old account after enough BS on Reddit

Going there with no account but not really on private mode so i got recommendations for regional subs

canada_sub keeps getting pushed. That sub is an alt right neo nazi echo chamber in which the founder and head mod admitted to astroturfing himself with multiple accounts to push hateful topics.

Reddit is intentionally pushing misinformation and hatred for metrics to prop up the ipo

Just installed due to this thread.

On by default. Nice feature

Yes. Especially in subs like “Canada” or any post involving Canada in any way

It does not matter what the topic of the thread or conversation is. It can be about how Canada loves puppies. And there will be random 1 or 2 liners from new accounts making political comments heavily pushing specific agendas. Even completely unrelated

Lots of random anti government misinformation and one liners pushing a specific party misinformation and narrative. Our how we’re some 3rd world collapsing country

It is not natural. Same thing occurs also on Reddit.

No rooted phones for our App. No travel to specific locals and countries either. we hvae black lists of Regions of the world where you simply cannot login to your accounts due to overwhelming security concerns and lack of extrajudicial remediation should there be fraud.

probably just a flatpack issue. I don’t bother using flatpack at all and still have not ran into anything that truly needs it (From a gaming use at least)

Once I got the steam deck and saw basically all my games could run in linux, I made the change fully on my laptops and desktop computers.

There’s not a single windows left in my house.

I’m a former IT Manager and system admin. And I am so fucking frustrated and pissed at Microsoft’s bullshit that I want nothing to do with them, and nothing of theirs in my house.

I cannot believe I’m going to say this: But from and enterprise point of view, I Miss Balmer. Nadella is a fucking useless wannabe Steve Jobs tool who has zero concept of what made Microsoft what it is. There’s horror stories of dealing with Microsoft on a corporate level that attributed to me having a mental breakdown.

I still miss it so much. I’d take bottom or top, just to have that hole back. I have some amazing headphones, but they’re like 20+ years old and now gathering dust.

I brought my favourite set of noise cancelling headphones with me after switching phones before I realized I had no devices to plug it into anymore.

Going to be a toss-up between two of my own cars.

1992 Cavalier convertible Z24 I bought for pennies as my first own car. Had 420,000km on it and grabbed it and it’s papers from some sketch dealer.

Looked good enough on the outside for it’s purpose of having fun. Roof worked. And it had a v6. But it fell apart fast (and a lot due to my own shenanigans). Stearing became so off that I had to turn left to stay straight. The heater died, I live in Canada. The seat’s support broke, so I used an old set of goalie pads propped against the back seat to keep my seat upright. The dashboard lights were blown, so I had a ducked tape flashlight on my headrest to light my dash up. More than ounce, I’d have to pull a fuse and put it back in while cruising on the highway.

Second worse was the off the lot brand new 02 Sunfire my parents forced me to buy to replace the above shitbox due to it’s safety. For fuck sakes I despised this car. Despite how bad the cavalier was, it was FUN and quirky. The Sunfire was just a poorly made shitbox with zero power, and non-stop electrical failures the day I took it off the lot.

thank you.

I am trying to get into Lemmy after Reddit’s descent into a hate filled fest of terrorism supporters and foreign bots trying to disrupt communities.

I have been very hesitant to post and participate here because there are several communities that seem to be going down the same path of being formed to exclusively pushed one specific narrative.

For example /c/WorldNews should be deleted as well as the mods. it isn’t covering world news. They have posted a single topic for one point and removed anyone else

that is against your ToS as well since it’s being used to push hate and racism.

WHY ARE THERE ALWAYS TAPES?

😂

Well, not keen on being on an international criminal list for illegal exports of Cannabis products. I’m no Mark Emery (thats good).

But if you find yourself in the GTA, I would gladly take you to a pot shop and give you my recommendations.

no, but if you listened to the advertising by my local MP’s and Mayor, it destroyed the fabric of this country and the worst decision any government has done in Canadian history

They do. You can get capsules with properly dosed amounts of THC/CBD etc.

the problem is convincing the medical community in large that it’s a drug that has enough merit to be considered for larger amount of people. Right now, no insurance company will cover it. No Pharmacy stocks THC/CBD medication. And getting “medical” weed requires a lot of jumping through hoops that just aren’t worth it right now considering I can just go to the store and buy it retail anyways

Really depends where you are. But there’s a massive oversaturation in some areas. Downtown Stouffville for example has like 15 right now. Stouffville has a population of 40,000. but at the same time, they are also serving other areas who have no shops. For example Markham and Richmond Hill both opted to ban sales of pot in their areas, as well as public consumption (bylaw)

I hate Ford. But I don’t have a problem with anyone who wants a license being able to get one. Cannabis is a luxury product and like all retail/consumer luxury goods, there’s no need to regulate the business for “success”. let the free market sort this out. Yes some of them will fail. That’s free market.

If the shop you frequent is almost always empty, it’s likely because it’s not a well regarded shop or chain. The store I go to (not chain) always has people in it. Even when I show up at 9am for opening, there is always people in it. but it’s also a little further away from any other pot shops and has a good reputation
