I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

As of 2017, the rules in Canada have been the following:
All new devices in Canada must be sold unlocked, and carriers must offer to unlock existing phones free-of-charge
there’s this one but it doesn’t seem to have any recent posts !lostlemmys@lemmy.world
Might be nice to have a more generic one if we make a new one. Maybe c/LostUsers
or something to keep it open to lemmy/kbin/piefed/sublinks/mastodon etc

Russian satellite breakup sends ISS astronauts to shelter
On Wednesday, June 26, 2024, shortly after 9 p.m. EDT, NASA instructed the nine astronauts aboard the International Space Station to head to their shelters. This precautionary measure was in response to the breakup of a Russian satellite, RESURS-P1. The astronauts spent about an hour in their shelters before it became clear the space station was not in the path of the debris.
More on RESURS-P1
According to Leo Labs, a California company that provides collision avoidance service and real-time conjunction alerts for satellite operators:
The approximately 6,000 kg [13,000 lb] satellite was in a nearly circular orbit at about 355 km [220 miles up] at the time of the event.
While it is not yet clear what caused the breakup of the Russian satellite, the satellite ended its service back in 2021. So what was previously one defunct space object is now more than 100 pieces. With the increasing amounts of satellites, both operational and past their useful lives, accumulating in orbit, the crowded space around Earth is becoming more and more of a concern. According to the Orbiting Now website, there are currently more than 10,000 active satellites in orbit around Earth, with nearly 3,000 inactive satellites still in orbit.
Which app are you using? It would be best to post in the community for that app
That’s part of why I clicked the article, I was confused if I read it correctly
The article is nice, but I’m not sure if I’d send it to friends that aren’t familiar with the fediverse. It seems to gloss over some problems and focus less relevant ones
It doesn’t touch on the issues with Blueskys protocol and makes it sound like an equivalent choice (or worse, a better choice). In the downsides section it touches on racism in badly moderated instances, and the difficulty of setting up an instance. Those issues aren’t relevant to the vast majority of users who will join a large instance that has defederated from the bad stuff.
It’s a nice article for those who are already somewhat familiar, but a bad first impression
Very cool, thank you!
This is both really cool, and really unsettling. I wonder if this research might help in the other direction as well, such as with transplants and grafts
Thanks! :))

Others have commented on the issues with Vivaldi, but do you have points on what you like about Vivaldi? People might suggest non-chromium browsers that do the same things
sarcasm is already hard to understand online, even harder for generative AI
I know sometimes I would take a peek at the person’s comment history to see if they were well informed / a shill for the product. The AI can’t do that
I’ve seen some dashboards around, is this what you’re looking for?
At the same time, the variables in that calculation might change over time. If it becomes easy enough for them to support it, or the costs of not supporting it get too high, they might change their minds.
Alternatively: wean yourself and your friends off of snapchat. In my part of the world, snapchat isn’t popular anymore. It doesn’t offer anything new and so barely anyone uses it.
Another side I haven’t seen mentioned
It might be easier to track users in Chrome. If even a few users open it in chrome instead of Firefox, that’s a benefit for them
This part of the interview felt relevant to the fediverse (note that this was pasted from a transcript, and you might find it easier to watch the video than read the transcript):
Australia’s safety commissioner recently took on Elon Musk for example requesting the removal of vision of a stabbing in a church here in Sydney. It was unsuccessful, should tech platforms be held responsible for spreading that sort of content.
Well I think we need to break that question down and actually question the form that tech platforms have taken, because we live in a world right now where there are about five major social media platforms that are very literally shaping the global information environment for everyone. So we have a context where these for-profit surveillance tech actors have outsized control over our information environment, and present a very very attractive political target to those who might want to shape, or misshape, that information environment. So I think we need to go to the root of the problem. The issue is not that every regulator doesn’t get a chance to determine appropriate or inappropriate content. The issue is that we have a one-size fits all approach to our shared information ecosystem, and that these companies are able to determine what we see or not, via algorithms that are generally calibrated to increase engagement; to promote more hyperbolic or more inflammatory content, and that we should really be attacking this problem at the root: beginning to grow more local and rigorous journalism outside of these platforms and ensuring that there are more local alternatives to the one-size fits-all surveillance platform business model.
Oh, we do have a
