Hi there! I'm investigating places to land when lemm.ee shuts down and lemmy.zip has a great defed policy and looks like a good place. One QQ is, will I be able to connect to the instance with a VPN? The pinned thread on this post seems to suggest it's fine (try uploading the JSON with a VPN) but I want to be sure, as I don't see any mention of this in the privacy policy or other legal docs. I know some instances block them, and I understand it's to prevent abuse and ban evasion, however I use one all the time for enhanced privacy so it's fairly important to me.

Thanks so much!

You mean like the increase to capital gains tax Carney killed in his first few days as acting PM? He wasted no time letting his crew at Stripe and Shopify know who he gets shit done for.

Let's be clear that this is a way to criminalize homelessness, nothing more. We all know they're not gonna send the white collar or trades addicts to these places. In the Depression era vagrant laws and asylums served the same purpose.

I worked phone support a few years ago and did that at the end of a call with a customer. I was really tired and the person was kinda draining but nice, and for some reason my dog's face slipped into my mind as we were ending the call, who I say k-love-you-thanks-bye to all the time.

It's probably pretty obvious when terabytes of upload are accrued over a few days like what OP mentioned, by seeding 24/7.

Like most any paid VPN service they need to track bandwidth usage somewhat. They can't see what you're accessing but they can see how much of whatever it is. Windscribe also offers a free 10gb/mo plan so they do track it for that purpose as well, much like any VPN with a free tier would.

CopWatch used to be pretty active and has apps for iOS and Android, but I see they haven't been updated in a couple of years.

Walmart also partnered with Klarna if that means anything to folks reading this. I've seen for years companies like Affirm (AFRM) being backed heavily by Shopify (they have exclusive deals at this point and AFRM is one of Klarna's direct competitors). The BNPL universe is coming for everything, including basic necessities like food now I guess. Affirm is also close with Amazon.

If you turn it on its side it's a tunnel.

This 5th Estate piece just hit youtube (and they disabled their comments) going into how Intuit (and others) have been leaving tax fraud on the table for years, to the tune of tens of millions in hacked CRA accounts, identity theft, and false return claims from Intuit and H&R Block systems.

What they don't bother to report which is easily found online is that Bobby Morrison was chief sales officer at Intuit, now CRO at Shopify and proud of it.

Do your research, Bobby was on board at Intuit for a lot of shady shit beyond this. Just sayin. Probably worth a mention that one of the top sales guys for Intuit is now running the financials at one of Canada's top billion dollar ecommerce companies.

Title. Is this happening for anyone else? Cheers.

 

Title. It seems excessive. Even when I fully power it down it tends to drop a lot more than I'd expect.

Thanks.

Litter? (www.petmd.com)
 

Why is a group of baby kittens called a "litter" and then the same word is flipped to denote the stuff they pee and poop in, throughout their lives if they live indoors? 🤔

 

Have been thinking about this for a couple years. I have old phones kicking around. Battery shot, hardware dated, but the camera(s) and mic and antennas still work. Would be cool if there were a way to set them up (powered) to stream audio/video or even take stills at intervals (or motion-activated) and then sync the content to the rest of the devices on my network.

I don't know how complex the programming for something like this would be. But I suspect it's trivial for those who do know.

 

Anyone remaining in Yellowknife, Ndılǫ and Dettah must leave by noon on Friday (Aug 18th), residents were told in a fresh, blanket evacuation order for the city on Wednesday evening.

City has a population of over 20k. The pop. of the NWT is estimated at around 45k. Where is everyone going to go?
