Already impacted. Unprecedented fires. Unprecedented floods. My home insurance is 5x what it was only five years ago.

Take people with low empathy and train them up in psychological manipulation and covert operations. Color me shocked that this happened.

I had to help give CPR to someone recently, and their eyes were partly open. Got me wondering whether they were partly conscious while I was doing compressions.

Sounds like another reason not to use Chrome.

I believe this is a thing in Quebec.

from https://culturalatlas.sbs.com.au/canadian-culture/canadian-culture-naming


In Quebec, the Civil Code requires parents to assign their child only one surname (either a single or compound surname) derived from their respective surnames. Compound surnames may not have more than two parts, with or without hyphens. Thus, a couple named Joseph BOUCHARD-TREMBLAY and Marie DION-ROY could give their children the surnames:

  • BOUCHARD
  • TREMBLAY
  • DION
  • ROY
  • BOUCHARD-TREMBLAY
  • DION-ROY
  • BOUCHARD-DION
  • BOUCHARD-ROY, and so on.

In Quebec, the law provides that spouses retain their respective birth names when they are married.

I thought I'd give a quick update on the efforts to combat the spam wave.

Clearly someone wants to make Lemmy a less appealing place to be. It's a deliberate attempt to spoil the good thing that we have going here. l'll leave it up to you to contemplate the motives and timing of this attack on the fediverse.

So what are the Mods doing, and what can you do to help?

The most obvious one is that we are deleting the spam as soon as it is seen. We are checking more often, but as volunteers we can't be on Lemmy 24/7. We also have some automated checking going on. This is working fairly well, but occasionally some legitimate posts are being removed. These get restored eventually, but sometimes it can take a while for this to be actioned. If this happens to you, please be patient.

As users, we can help out by reporting spam posts and by posting quality content. Contributing to our community is the best way to make sure that it remains a safe, interesting and thought-provoking place.

Continue to contribute meaningful content too. :)

I'm talking about the things that make you really excited.

We've implemented some basic controls to hopefully catch CSAM material earlier. As with any such control, occasionally there might be false positives. Unfortunately that's the price we pay....

We have temporarily locked posting on AskLemmy until the CSAM posting stops.

Hi OP. I'm sorry that you were exposed to CP. Thankfully I didn't see it before it was purged, but I'm sure it was distressing, especially for someone who was a victim.

I feel that you post is important, but this is not really the appropriate community to raise it. Can you please re-post in support@Lemmy.world?

It's basically because they don't directly convert electricity into heat, they just pull it in from outside. It still takes energy to 'push the heat uphill' from a cold place to a hot place, but less than directly heating.

It's almost as if stiffing his previous lawyers has made people wary. Strange.
