  We were restricted even on some proprietary software (especially if it was from a foreign owned company), but you’d be surprised how much scrutiny some of the major packages have had.

  A lot of government stuff requires that they have complete provenance of all code in the system. When you have people contributing to it from different places - potentially different countries - they get nervous about it.

  Silly me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who's the most ridiculed POTUS of history?⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never thought so. I mean, I guess it’s hard to quantify, but that’s different from being ambiguous. If someone asked you, “Who in your high school class did people make fun of the most,” you might know right away who it would be, or there might be multiple contenders. Other people in your class might have different opinions, but that doesn’t mean you all don’t know what the question is, just that it’s hard to measure.

  Where I worked, many of the contacts specifically said we could not use open source software, so no, it is not always available.

  Some have a removable cover that you take off and wash. The ones that don’t I think are generally surface wash only, but all should have a tag with instructions someplace.

  I can’t wait to pay for groceries with my free healthcare.

  Okay, makes sense

  Excellent, thank you. I just cleared my cache and it does seem to have helped a fair amount. Not nearly as fast as in a private window, but probably as fast as .ca is now. Much appreciated, I’m glad I asked.

  I guess that would explain why people who access it with an app don’t seem to have the same issue, correct?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is lemmy.ca so much faster than lemmy.world?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, much, much faster! Interesting. Okay, why is that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is lemmy.ca so much faster than lemmy.world?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly don’t know where either of them are hosted. I’m in the US, in Southern California.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is lemmy.ca so much faster than lemmy.world?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in the US, in Southern California, so for sure could be contributing. Not sure where .ca is hosted.

  As for an example, I just went to .world on my desktop browser (firefox) and loaded /all /new. It was 16 seconds between the click and all the visible graphics being loaded. The same thing on .ca was just under 5 seconds. On my tablet, the difference is greater.

  That would make sense, ty.

  Wait, so they dusted it with cocoa powder and then put those frosting dollops on top of that? The lid might have been the only thing holding those in place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely! Maybe even mid-December.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Might be an unpopular opinion, but I have no problem with stores selling holiday stuff way in advance of the holiday. Some people want to get their decorations all lined up, be working on crafts, or whatever. What I object to is when stores decorate for the holiday way in advance. I don’t want to see Christmas trees and snow men in October or pumpkins and witches in July.

  It’s been going on since well before that, and they’ve been pretty good at transparency generally, so that seems unlikely to me.
