I live in Canada on the west-coast. I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer that I could use.

Its a troll account, see their other posts.
They’re looking for attention. Just block and move on

- Comment on Stripe Buys A.I. Start-Up OpenRouter for $7.5 Billion 1 day ago:
It’s actually pretty useful for those who need that use case.
They have one API for all the models, and when a few companies are offering the same models, they will send it to the one that is cheaper or faster, depending on the settings. That’s pretty much why Stripe got popular too.
They have a lot of data on which models are popular, which ones are being used by specific tools, etc. Now that open weight and international models are getting popular over the american big tech ones, it seems like a lot of companies want something that can redirect their usage to whatever model fits within their preferred parameters.

The Flintstones ones are very memorable, I wonder if the marketing was helped by the fact that the vitamins look like rocks 😄
That way when they are exposed to the air and begin to discolor (which is harmless from what I understand), it doesn’t become unpalatable to children

Also the proportions of the kid, the cart, and the milk is all off.
The cart is way too short and long/wide, and you can’t stack milk on top of other milk that neatly

The TV even kept the same reflection on it
- Comment on modern classic 3 weeks ago:
Unless someone has more information on this, I’m going to chalk this up to AI-generated rage bait.
The kitchen area still has the same items on that shelf, there’s an ugly hole where the old CRT TV still exists (despite the room being “finished” looking), the reflection on the TV is still the same, and the patio turned into an office meeting room. I’m not going to spend time on perspective calculations, but something about the beams on the roof and the placement of the railing look off.

I didn’t realize that Ruby Tuesdays was a chain restaurant, so that’s probably the reason it’s a shitpost
It’s still wholesome though. Maybe that particular Ruby Tuesdays has an excellent team

Why though, this strengthens his argument about the harassment
Unless the alt is being used to evade bans, or trying to steer the conversation, I don’t see the benefit in chasing around the dev on different accounts. Report it to mods/admins as needed, but don’t share it in this thread where a lot of people are already upset at the person

This bit:
Over the course of the last several days, I have received a constant stream of harassing messages, death threats, and threats of doxxing over DM, Matrix, Github, and Codeberg
I don’t know the extent of it, but I can definitely see this happening. Its not a fediverse thing, or a social media thing, some people take things too far.

If you have a community center nearby, you can see if they have gym equipment. Those memberships should be simple to get and cancel.
- Comment on How Octopuses Hacked Their Ribosome To Become Smart 5 weeks ago:
This was a cool read, if anyone wants incentive to read it, here is the key bit
The highly advanced nervous system of octopuses is a good example here, displaying levels of intelligence and capabilities far beyond those of other cephalopods and matching that of primates, despite no evolutionary link here. Exactly how octopuses developed this rather unique capability remained a mystery, though recent research by [Rishav Mitra] points at the rather unique ribosomes in these animals.
Ribosomes are the molecular machinery at the core of each cell that enable the synthesis of proteins. Due to their highly crucial role, they tend to remain evolutionary unchanged, which makes the big change observed in the octopus (i.e. order Octopoda) in the form of this H88 rRNA break quite remarkable.

This is actually a pretty interesting video, I think the clickbait title killed the post.
This community does allow you to modify the title, may I suggest something like “How space control can help a player score in a football game, with data analysis and visualizations”

If there is room, then its easy enough to just say “Excuse me” and scoot past
I read this post as being the case where there isn’t enough room

Yea I think even if you’re unfamiliar with this particular scam, the pushiness for this particular method of payment is a big red flag.

- Comment on why does crossing legs increase blood pressure? 1 month ago:
I may be wrong, but I think holding a slightly cross legged position does still require some muscle contraction, and it may cause some compression over having your legs relaxed and spread apart. Also, if you’re lying on your back, then there might be a slight pressure difference from having one leg higher than the rest of your body.
The way you’re describing it, these will all likely cause a slightly lower pressure.
It could also be that you were more relaxed during the second reading, and so that time was the most important contributor. For example, white coat hypertension
- Comment on Are Lemmy and Mbin the same instance? 1 month ago:
Welcome!
We have some guides / infographics for new users, which you might find helpful. These two pages in particular:
fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started
fedecan.ca/en/guide/…/detailed-overview
An instance is the site where you make an account. If we extend the analogy to email, then
gmail.comis one instance whilehotmail.comis another instance. If you make an account on Gmail, you can’t use that login on Hotmail but you can still see content from people on Hotmail.Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin, Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc. are all software. It’s hard to extend this analogy out, but imagine if Google released the code for Gmail freely so that anyone could easily set up an email website that had the same appearance and functionality as Gmail. That is what is happening here.
So in the same way,
lemmy.ca,lemmy.world,sh.itjust.worksand many other Fediverse instances are running the “Lemmy” software and that’s why they look and feel very similar. Where they differ comes down to the people running a particular instance, since they will have different rules for what you can do. You can find that information in the sidebar.Now all of the Fediverse platforms use a common and agreed upon language to talk to each other. Because Lemmy, Piefed, and Mbin software all use this language and follow a similar format, you can easily share content between all of them.
Usually people make one account on a forum/threaded instance (Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin), and one account on a microblogging instance (Mastodon). This is because the format of microblogging is pretty different from that of forums, although it is technically possible to cross post in between them.

Grazing is like snacking throughout the day or many smaller meals
Intermittent fasting is better explained here, but it comes down to “fasting for part(s)” of the day

At the very least, no one is doing it here. I’d rather have a rebuttal comment if/when a post that tries to do that, rather than seeing these posts
