It's funny, because I've mentioned lemmy many times on SS and other subs leading up to the rexxodus .. and I haven't been banned. It seems completely arbitrary. Maybe they're specifically afraid of the lemmy.whynotdrs.org instance.

Oh sorry. I should learn to read :) I'm posting via Lemmy. Unsure if they also do mastodon.

lemmy.ca has apparently opted to not federate with them. I hope many/most do the same.

If the Canadian government were smart, they'd start a massive campaign to encourage Canadians to move to using RSS readers for all their news -- Google and Meta would lose their freaking minds, as it would let people read headlines and news summaries without even visiting their landing pages (less ad impressions) ... hit 'em where it hurts!

Edit: Clarifying my thinking ... maybe the Canadian government could propose to let Google et al. serve Canadian media outlet's stories through their search sites... but only if they committed to supporting RSS/Atom feeds of the same articles. This would force them to open up their data a bit and make alternatives to visiting their sites more viable.

Many people have strong opinions on why ECC RAM is not the standard in modern PCs... cosmic rays definitely can be a problem.

Jeebus. A tick got me on Salt Spring Island, BC last month. I was put on a two-week antibiotic regimen for Lyme just in case... but I also sure hope I didn't get any of these! Yeeeeeeeeks.

Are oversized eggs like this more likely to have double/triple yolks, or is that not related to size?

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow that's as big as the the duck eggs I get from our local farmer!

We gotta hit ultraviolet eventually... oh god, we'll hit x-rays and give ourselves cancer if we keep going, stop!

Collecting gear can become a vice, to be sure ...

Hmm. I have heard some instances were having trouble federating in the past few days... hopefully it'll for work you soon?
