Canada opens review into anti-dumping duties on Chinese PV modules, laminates in c/canada@lemmy.ca

Agreed, as far as solar installers are concerned they can’t get enough product to smoothly complete their projects even before the delusional American tariffs.

Uh oh. The dreaded polar vortex may be making an appearance very soon (www.cbc.ca)
 

Well, get ready to hear more about it. Forecasters say parts of Western and Central Canada are about to feel the effects of the phenomenon that brings frigid weather in the coming weeks. And it could move to Eastern Canada.

“The European [model], the latest one, is looking like a pretty impressive cold pattern setting up,” said Judah Cohen, a climatologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

“The cold is going to slide down east of the Rockies … you'll hear about Calgary, definitely Winnipeg.”

Brace yourselves and be careful. A reminder from 2024:

The number of amputations due to frostbite in Edmonton reached 110 last winter, the highest level in more than a decade, according to new data obtained by CBC News.

But Calgary marked its second consecutive winter of declining frostbite amputations, counting roughly one-third of Edmonton's procedures last fiscal year.

Was Ninjacentral the okay one and nzbgeek was the one with the data leak?

Maybe most of society doesn't have much critical thinking because those who get those "critical thinking" genes go crazy from overthinking things and therefore fail to pass on the genes. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

I’d say you are confusing critical thinking with anxiety. Critical thinking is a deliberate exercise that I choose to engage in, and I might be able to do for a certain period of time. I’d suggest that critical thinking is an investment of time and energy to really understand an issue, how it’s framed, how to re-frame it. At the highest levels, critical thinking will eventually lead to where you stand on an issue, and what scenarios change your standing.

But anxiety is something I don’t mean to engage in, and might not be able to stop. I’d agree it’s a disruption of critical thinking. It’s either a response to stress, or perhaps a force is pushing you to anxiety to break down your OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) and render you less effective on the field you’re playing in.

How effective are ads? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] pathwonder@kopitalk.net 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Super effective!

It's not so much that ads can only sell you something anymore. They're able to sell your personal details and identity when abused.

I believe the issue has been written on even prior to the 2025 article from Wired.

Data brokers are basically form centralized American platforms which carry immense databases about its users. These demographics can essentially be used to target high value targets. These can include government employees, members of military, and other persons of interest.

These brokers use Mobile IDs to allow advertisers to micro-target people with their habits, browsing fingerprint, and purchase habits. Even if these companies say they don't associate identities with these Mobile IDs, the brokers can cross-reference enough information to basically de-anonymize a target.

Plus with influencers these days, many don't disclose if what they do is sponsored or part of a greater outreach campaign. You're basically stuck wondering if you're getting targeted or astroturfed.

Displaying Images From View Community (kopitalk.net)

Sorry, new guy here.

So about images, on my desktop browser, when I click just on the thumbnail to the side, I'm expecting the image to display. But the image loading graphics just keep looping without any image.

If I click the post, the image typically displays as expected.

On Voyager, tapping the thumbnail loads the image to the screen as expected.

PieFed Email Error (kopitalk.net)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by pathwonder@kopitalk.net to c/piefed_help@piefed.social

Hello!

I wanted to move away from Reddit and started with a Lemmy instance for a few days. But, I kept on bumping into these mentions about PieFed and got curious. I figured since I just started, no harm in just spinning up PieFed. That, and once I saw Voyager was able to work with PieFed, it just seemed like a no brainer.

I'm so very impressed, I'm just exploring everything, checking out settings, and adding new communities.

That said I probably did something wrong in the process. I input the settings for email in .env.docker. As soon as I did, error emails arrived in batches of 5-8 at a time. I tried making sense of it myself, but I got stuck. Would anyone kindly take a look and point me in the right direction?
