I listened to the broadcast a few weeks ago because I was curious about the supposed panic that happened because of it. I was genuinely surprised how modern the whole presentation felt. Especially the first segment including the initial alien attack was pretty believable and very well done.
Parks Canada received an alert from a GPS device in the Red Deer River Valley west of Ya Ha Tinda Ranch at about 8 p.m. on Friday indicating a bear attack
How does this work? Or is it just another way of saying that someone used a phone with GPS enabled?
I loved Windows 7. The reason I ended up switching to Linux is (ironically) that I felt like the KDE desktop was closer to Windows 7 than the tiled start menu that Windows 8.0 had.
I don't know and that isn't even the point of the discussion. Find a legitimate article from a trustworthy news site and post it. It will stay up. This one just got taken down because the source is shit and against the rules. It's not a conspiracy.
Trending on worldnews or reddit in general is not a seal of quality. Most users there just read the headlines and upvote whatever reinforces their opinion or worldview.
"Tiblur" is not a news site. It's a social network. The reddit post in question is even flaired "not a news article" and that is absolutely true. I'm siding with the worldnews mods on this.
I recently replayed the first Soldier of Fortune and Perfect Dark back to back and I gotta say they nailed the retro style in this game. I can't wait to play it.
I think the closest you'll get to an "open" platform right now is the community-maintained https://www.themoviedb.org/. Their API is also free for non-commercial use.
I think the main advantage will be that it's much easier to choose a home instance, because you don't have to select one that defederates according to your own preferences. It'll make Lemmy more accessible for new users.
Thank you all for your hard work in making Lemmy even better. I'm really happy to see the ability for users to block instances themselves, seems like it was a widely requested feature.
Me too. Though I'm wondering if I ever caught it and just ended up being asymptomatic. I can't say that I've been particularly careful and pretty much everyone in my social circle had it at some point.
You will not see any content from a defederated instance, even if they were posted to another federated instance.
