IHMO it's not either-or. It's both-and

 

Canadians using Twitter/X are being bombarded by misleading right-wing posts designed to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish the reputation of Mark Carney.

The FT’s analysis finds a growing volume of that misinformation is coming not from Russia or China, but the United States.

LibreOffice is the top open source choice, and it has been the default choice for Linux users for more than a decade. I'd recommend everyone to have a try

Thank you so much for your explanation. I think I found the reason.

Lemmy is using the URL as the unique key to determine cross-post or not. When clicking the cross-post button, the shared URL is

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/d4dbfc4f-d927-4879-9eed-0c8be63f0fc9.webp

However, when I created this post manually, I used the link to the discussion

https://lemmy.world/post/26364778

Now I edited my post with the webp link, and lemmy.ca is considering my post to be crossposted from the feddit.uk post, and also crossposted of [email protected]

As the readers of this post can access the original post now, I think there is no need to create a new post.

Thanks again!

If you’re using the website (lemmy.ca), there should be a crosspost icon (two squares)

I see why I was stuck here. I was using https://lemmy.world/post/26364778 and I can't see the two squares button.

If I go to the cached version, https://lemmy.ca/post/40107104 I can see the crosspost button and it seems to work.

I copied the source code to my post, but it didn't show the count of comments in feddit.uk

I'd plan to repost it with crosspost, and then delete this post. Is this a good idea?

Thank you

There might be some changes that could improve it further:

  • ~~Remove Brave~~
  • ~~Maybe add Signal; It's easier than Element, but it's also centralized~~
  • Stop suggesting Linux Mint specifically
  • Recommend Hosted Nextcloud
  • ~~Add GrapheneOS~~
  • Maybe add Delta chat
  • ~~Maybe remove Bluesky~~
  • ~~Remove Stremio and add Jellfyin (even though it's selfhosted and not a direct equivalent)~~
  • ~~Add ente because Immich is selfhosted~~
  • ~~Add aurora~~
  • ~~Add SearxNG~~
  • Add SimpleX
  • Add lichess
  • Add pCloud

Any other suggestions?

Temporary improved version:

From To Compromise
X, Threads Mastodon Bluesky
Instagram Pixelfed
YouTube PeerTube ReVanced (just blocks adds)
Reddit Lemmy
Netlix, Disney+ 🔨 Jellyfin
Google Meet, Zoom Jitsi Meet

Thank you! I found a 3yr old review for no name chip, I think I should grab one in my next grocery trip

I’ll also consider to try Stax.

Thanks again

 

I have been a Pringles lover for more than a decade, and it's time for me to find an alternative one. I like the saddle-shape and I don't know which brand provides it.

r/BuyFromEU suggests some local brands, but that's not my case:

Any suggestions? Thank you

I love this video too! I was in favour of the all-in-one pods (fooled by the ads), but after watching this video, I switched to powder, and I gladly saved a few more loonies.

Sadly, both manufactures and retailers are both pushing us to purchase dishwasher pods for more profit. I had found Canadian Tire discontinued a Cascade 1kg powder package (warn: US brand). I'm looking for a Canadian brand providing powder options now.

I apology for my words causing confusion. I'm not arguing "even worse" vs "much worse". I just want to emphasize Chrome is terrible at privacy.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

They have a lemmy community /c/[email protected]

But yes, they should promote lemmy more

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

Chrome based browsers are even worse

IMHO "even worse" it not accurate here. Chrome based browsers are much worse, and they are always developing new technologies to exploit users' privacy for profit.

I think the only viable option is to leave Chrome ASAP (for everyone). If one is unsatisfied with Firefox's policy (we should!), then to choose a non-Chromium browser carefully

I'd suggest to have several tags, like [PR] = Product Recommendation [HS] = Help Needed, [Travel] [Food] etc.

Like https://lemmy.ca/c/bapcsalescanada they have [CPU] [GPU] [Monitor]

But I'm not sure how should we organize these tags

Thank you bearish!

I'd fly to Calgary, rent a car, and drive to Glacier National Park. If time permits, I'd also visit Banff National Park

 

I'm an Ontario resident, and I had been planing a trip to Alaska. For obvious reason, I'm re-routing to BC for glacier.

I have several doubts about this trip:

  1. As a first-time traveller for glacier, which park/route do you suggest?
  2. I'm not a fan of hiking. Can I stay on the driveway?
  3. I'm planning a 5-day trip. Is it too short?

Thank you!

Good news that we already clinched the top 1 seed, so McCaffrey can rest in Week 18 and the first found playoff.
