I live in Canada on the west-coast. I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer that I could use.
- Comment on "Hacked" Instagram 14 hours ago:
Are the messages in her outbox? What some scammers do is they make a new account with the same name and profile picture, to then send messages that look like they’re from a friend.
I remember reading about an Facebook phishing thing going around, but that involved getting the password and then spamming out messages. She could try and remember if she got any weird links that she logged in with. Sometimes the scammer sends the harmful link to the followers, so the handbag site might be the problem link

I can’t tell if this makes it easier for students to understand, or harder 😄 Specifically where each chromatid/chromosome goes

This is a complex topic, but that comment thread has a whole lot of very obvious disinformation

You’re welcome to read more about the author, and to delete your own post. It’s ok to change your mind about things once you learn more about them.

It seems like there IS a spell check, but it doesn’t catch a lot of content
For example, it works here: ottertttt

- Comment on Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules 4 weeks ago:
You could try one of those automation apps. I remember seeing some triggers for entering and leaving a location, and the advanced ones should be able to use wifi connections/disconnections
Whether it can change security settings though I’m not as sure about.

This is probably a post you should make in the Boost community. I see filtering for posts, you could request comments too?

Maybe the title was changed after posting, but it’s more reasonable on the actual article

- Comment on Yellen Faces Diplomatic Test in Urging China to Curb Green Energy Exports 1 month ago:
Cheap Chinese exports of green energy technology are threatening the electric vehicle and solar sectors that the United States has been trying to develop, and the Biden administration is prepared to protect them.
Eh, I’d prefer if everyone was transitioning to better energy sources and technology. There are a lot of developing nations that would benefit from cheaper options, and it would help if these cheaper options could support them?
Unless I’m misunderstanding something
- Comment on Why does this website have a loading screen to process my cookie preferences? 1 month ago:
Could you link the website? It might help with testing the website out in the console. People can track what is sent / received when the button is clicked, and maybe see what third party service they are outsourcing to
- Comment on Does mucous have calories? 1 month ago:
Ew
I would say that it does, but whether you actually save calories by doing that instead of getting rid of it is unknown. I’d say to just do what feels comfortable to you. You can probably make up those calories easily in other ways
- Comment on What does "araffe" mean? 1 month ago:
Googling the word with quotes brings up a Lemmy thread first, I thought that was interesting.
Is this question specific to Lemmy somehow? I haven’t heard of the term before this thread either

Reminds me of Skype. It seemed like I always had the wrong version installed, and I couldn’t get rid of the broken ones
- Comment on A post may receive a hundred replies and host a fat and exciting conversation tree, but if one moderator doesn't like it then it may be locked or deleted. Is that immoral? 2 months ago:
Then yes it is bad. From my time on Reddit, there were a lot of posts where I disagreed with the advice given but approved it because it was relevant to the community and met the guidelines. It was also more productive since then people got a chance to discuss why it was bad advice and what might be better
Moderators should try and remove based on the guidelines, and then trust their gut when it’s a grey area
Unless we can see what OP is complaining about, we can’t really tell what happened.

I’d also look into orangutans. I don’t know for sure, but they seem to learn and mimic human behaviour quite a bit. So even if they didn’t do so by themselves, they may copy the person in pushing snow away
