- Comment on Right-wing blogger questioned under anti-terror laws at Edinburgh Airport 2 weeks ago:
It would require a warrant for police (at least here in Canada), phones contain a lot of highly personal data. Border guards have more authority but should still require some justification.
Just because he’s a dirt bag Nazi doesn’t mean we should support taking his devices and searching them, without a disclosed reason behind it.
- Comment on Right-wing blogger questioned under anti-terror laws at Edinburgh Airport 2 weeks ago:
Houston, who says he is a member of Restore Britain, has not been arrested or charged, but police confirmed his electronic devices were seized.
Not being charged with anything but still having your devices seized, is kinda BS.

- Comment on How do I re-establish peaceful relations with a family of crows? 1 month ago:
Huh I had no idea we’re not allowed to feed crows.
I got dive bombed years ago one summer, after which I started bribing the crows with peanuts from my balcony. Now they’re used to me and let me get pretty close, or come hang out when I’m out there.
They’ve got babies out front of my building this week and show no interest in me or my dog, but I see them bombing other people regularly.

You can run your own mail server. I generally don’t recommend it, it’s a pain.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
bruh, seriously? why would they put backdoors into an app that they open sourced + run themselves on their own infra? that’s just asking for a massive fucking headache to clean things up after someone does nefarious things to your instance.
- Comment on What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ? 2 months ago:
It drank everything. I had a screw on battery pack that attached to the back of it and I still remember it didn’t last very long.

Every few months some new user joins and says it’s be great to just mirror reddit content here.
Nobody wants it. It destroys engagement.
- Comment on Bluetooth tracker hidden in a postcard and mailed to a warship exposed its location — $5 gadget put a $585 million Dutch ship at risk for 24 hours 3 months ago:
The science behind this one confuses me. Bluetooth is short range, and gps is too low power to penetrate. There’s no way a gps will get lock from inside a ship, and someone would need a compatible app and internet to relay it out.
- Comment on Would it be silly of me to get a small dog if I am a little afraid of bigger ones? 3 months ago:
Go voltuneer at a shelter and walk dogs for them first. I don’t think you’ve considered how much work is involved in a dog, are you prepared to adopt a small child?
- Comment on Nextdoor is pretty wild 3 months ago:
If no referrer header is sent, CF will let it through. You can copy + paste the url into a new tab to get to it, but I’m guessing some apps don’t provide a referrer.

That should be a Canadian flag. You can thank lululemon for it.
- Comment on So say, someone lives in an English speaking country and wanna see a movie in the threaters but they struggle to understand English, how are they supposed to watch it? 4 months ago:
Some theaters have closed captioning done via a backwards display at the back of the theater, you wear special glasses or something that have mirrors. I think some may also do alternate languages.

- Comment on Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown | Launch Trailer | Coming February 18! 5 months ago:
I’m definitely intrigued. Most of the early demo reviews hated on it for being text heavy instead of voice actors, so I’m keen to see some updated reviews.

Yeah you’re wrong. I could barely make it through a few episodes of SGU, but STA is much better.
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks 5 months ago:
I found Discovery the same way, it’s the only trek series I couldn’t make it through.
Picard suffered from bad writing unfortunately. Season 3 cashed in on nostalgia and I appreciate it for that, but the first 2 seasons were very meh.
Starfleet academy is great though, IF you’re ok with a show targeted to young adults. If you’re not ok with that, the episodes will be very hit and miss. The most recent episode was fantastic, once you get through the 3 minute long sex scene it opened with. Even that does serve a purpose though to show the bond that’s developed between two chars.

Which I find kinda surprising, since I would call SNW fairly “woke” if you actually pay attention to the show. Maybe it’s just because it’s a male captain set in the TOS era, and it’s a more traditional trek show?
- Comment on Server upgrades complete! The Lemmy Club is now hosted in Canada 🇨🇦! - plus, we're moving away from Cloudflare. 5 months ago:
Ouch, shots fired 😂. Congrats on the move though! ♥️
If you’re on ovh, make sure you’ve enabled their monitoring. Otherwise if your server goes down they won’t do sweet fuck all outside of business hours.
We’re moving off cloudflare pretty soon too, I’m just sorting out some last issues with our new Canadian cdn.

Very well might be, but the end product is nothing like RHEL. I know they host more Linux than Windows on Azure.
- Comment on 5 months ago:
I don’t know what you mean by Linux spin. Are you thinking of hyperv?
- Comment on 5 months ago:
Huh? RHEL isn’t a cloud. Azure is Microsoft’s version of aws / gcp

I like the one where you stick the word anal in front of the names of RVs.

I think this is the most I’ve despised an enemy since Kai Wynn. I did not expect an episode like that from this show.
- Comment on How would you describe that post sneeze smell? 5 months ago:
I don’t smell anything after I sneeze… You should probably check with a doctor to make sure you don’t have an infection.

This isn’t because windows sucks, this is all the recoil from AI. MS invested over $13b in openai and holds about a quarter of the company.
Windows doesn’t make enough money for Microsoft to seriously care about it, their baby now Azure.
