Canada’s Bill C-2 Opens the Floodgates to U.S. Surveillance in c/canada@lemmy.ca
Men are the main ones in positions of power in c/witchesvspatriarchy@lemmy.ca

While I agree in that patriarchy should be ended I'd like to ask that users kindly refrain from misandry as fearmongering generates a positive feedback loop for the far right extreemists to exploit and especially in our current environment the cringe manosphere.

Please instead consider using empathy and compassion or directly targeting flawed falacious arguments as this will help empower women to empower men to empower women. Thus breaking free from the cycle of needless hate and violence.

    How long does it take to dry a smartphone? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.ca
    [–] 8 points 1 year ago*

    If it was a few drops of water, using the corner of a paper towel to get into the port and leaving it near a fan or something should dry it fairly quickly.

    I'd also recommend using silica gel/desiccant instead of using rice for drying electronics as rice will do jack shit.

    Honestly that's the same with one of our friends.

    He got sucked into the LLM rabbit hole and now just occasionally says some weird shit no one interacts with.

    I have a feeling that brainrot is accelerated in these kinds of people due to a positive feedback loop as they become ostracized due to a noticible "self-deterioration".

    Use LLM -> become brainrot -> can't connect with others -> use more LLM -> become more brainrot -> more ostracized from society -> ad nauseum.

    A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud (nextcloud.com)
     

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/47038761

    As organizations are looking to reclaim their digital sovereignty, IONOS and Nextcloud are building the fully featured office suite “Nextcloud Workspace”: a powerful Microsoft 365 alternative. As long-standing partners, we have the expertise to enable large companies and organizations with an all-round office suite as European answer to US products. Announced at the Nextcloud Summit earlier this month, this collaboration for digitally sovereign office software that meets the highest data protection requirements will launch in 2025.

    To meet the rigorous needs of public institutions and enterprises, Nextcloud Workspace will integrate a full range of collaboration tools, including file storage and sharing, document editing, email, calendaring, video conferencing, chat, and AI-powered productivity features. Of course, this offering will be fully GDPR compliant and securely hosted in Europe.

    Organizations can trust Nextcloud to deliver a fully integrated office and collaboration suite, thanks to the company’s experience in creating the world’s leading private cloud platform. IONOS, Europe’s largest cloud and hosting provider, is the ideal partner to ensure full GDPR compliance and protection from US legal exposure. Hosting will be managed exclusively in Germany, at IONOS’ extensive network of data centers.

    Bear Creek Falls Glacier National Park, BC (lemmy.world)
     

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/32188247

    Easy, short but steep 1 mile out and back 312 ft elevation Gain Hiked 5/27/25

    This short trail begins with a very steep grade down to Connaught creek (formerly bear creek) with a stair section at the lowest. Photos of the falls come from this area downstream. Climbing another staircase puts you at the falls, surrounded by a massive mist cloud. Entertaining, but no pics. This was still during melt season and it was absolutely raging at the time.

    Connaught creek rushes by as Bear creek falls rages in the distance.

    The steep stairwell leading to the river below.

    The steepest part of the trail is these steps, but it maintains a lot of slope in its short run.

    Edit:
    I revised the post title to include the intiative's name as the original post title without the community's context made this needlessly vague

    NVIDIA's Exploitation | Waste of Sand RTX "5050" for $250 (i.ytimg.com)
     

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/46879501

    TL;DW:
    Nvidia's RTX 5050 is a waste of your time, money, and trust as a tech consumer.

    Please consider buying a used GPU on Ebay, Kijiji, or anywhere else you can as you will get a much better deal than this.

    As a monopoly with 92% marketshare, Nvidia is actively choosing to deceive consumers to buy whatever they're selling.

    Please be Advised for Help Farmers (lemmy.ca)
     

    To preface none of my fellow admins know about this post due to the language that I am using.
    Although I do believe that they would be supportive of this as they care about our users just as much as I do.

    I just had a run in with a user asking for help who then deleted their post and comments soon after.

    If you see any users asking for help I would personally recommend a couple of things to look out for:

    • Check their profile;
      • how old's the account?
      • what kinds of posts and comments are they making?
        • Are they the kind of user you'd be cool with being friends with?
      • Do they have history of deleting posts/comments? If so why? and how often?
    • Check the modlog;
      • have they done or said anything that warrented themselves getting banned or their posts/comments removed?

    I'm making this post as I'm personally frustrated seeing posts and comments being removed as it actively harms instances, communities, and most importantly users.

    I absolutely despise when I go a saved post or comment thread that I wanted to reread later only to find that I can't cause the post/thread's been deleted by a single user.

    There's so much useful or interesting and creative things that people care about and also want to share in terms of life experiences or just having a cool thing to collaborate and work on.

    • having this be ruined by individuals that want to 'dine and dash' basically ruins this.

    Honestly Fuck you.
    If you 'help farm' especially I will find you and I will ban you because you are actively harming users who spend their precious time, effort, and humanly love to do cool stuff here on the Fediverse.
