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.

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

Good. Bus drivers are overworked, underpaid, and lack some basic standards that we all take for granted, like separate places to prepare food and take a shit.

We have Remembrance Day (Nov 11, similar to Veterans Day in the US).

After that (sometimes even right after Halloween) Christmas invades.

Some would say he’s a product of his time (thyme?)

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.

Well, it’s a full keypair being stored: Authenticators like Bitwarden need to first provide the public key to the relying party (RP) so the RP can issue the encrypted auth challenge. The challenge then is handed back to the authenticator, user verification happens, then the challenge is signed by the private key and sent back to the RP for verification to complete the auth ceremony.

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).

I have no context about why NiceVancouver became its own subreddit, but IMHO community fragmentation is definitely what we don’t need, especially with the user base so small.

No problem! Best of luck. 🙂

Have you looked at OXO’s offering? Random sample linked

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

All bars, all the time.

Personally I don’t see any benefits for the loops, and a couple major drawbacks IMHO:

• Loops are less stable and require more physical force exerted by the user in order to gain a minimal amount of stability by pulling the loop taught.
• Loops feel dirtier and far harder to clean. Of course given that it’s public transit it’s not going to be fully sanitized or anything, but I feel like users can more easily take steps to protect themselves using bars (wiping the bar quickly before grabbing it, or shielding themselves by holding it through a piece of clothing).

Isn’t this the plot of The Lorax?

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

Very cool to see a fediverse alternative to r/place!

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?
