Also, the ux is pretty much the same as Reddit.

The default one is a bit minimal, but we have many Alternative UIs are as modern looking as new Reddit.

They also work much better while being modern looking. There's a reason so many of us came over here when they got rid of third party apps, the new Reddit interface is... bad.

They should do the same on the Play and App Store.

Yea I think that was the joke in that scene, but I can't seem to find a clip of it

Cool, thanks for highlighting that! It could be worth its own post

Some Lemmy clients/apps break the link if you don't include the https bit, so here it is again for those that need it: https://tirespy.ca/

Don't need to open Twitter to watch it

I'm also remembering an IT crowd scene where they argue about which of them is in Anonymous, and I can't find it now. Does anyone have a link handy? Unless I am misremembering

How does this compare to Bookwyrm, or say Trakt?

Such empathy 😄

Could you give a short guide on how to use it, and what the limits are? A link would be cool too :)

I was thinking it was AI at first, but I settled on it being a scan of a photograph which then got processed weirdly by the scanning software

This is what they listed:

What makes CIRA’s IPT test different?

CIRA’s IPT is made up of test servers located throughout Canada at various Internet Exchange Points (IXPs). IXPs are critical hubs on the Canadian internet and play an important part in the efficient and fast transfer of data securely within our borders. Currently located in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal and Moncton, these servers run a network diagnostic test (NDT) provided by M-Lab, which allows us to run a variety of tests measuring everything from network speed and latency to blocking and throttling.

I think a benefit specific to this project is to build up data that could be used to put more pressure on the telecom companies to fix the issues?

The CIRA Internet Performance Test (IPT) is a quick and easy test of your internet connection, either at home or at work, that gathers data for communities, researchers and decision makers so they can better understand and improve Canada’s internet. It also provides advanced users with detailed technical diagnostic information.

Users can now explore trends and performance data from previous tests, gaining a deeper understanding of internet performance changes over time. These insights empower individuals, researchers and policymakers to track progress and identify gaps.

Congratulations! Looking forward to trying this :)

@DaMonsterKnees@lemmy.world has been amazing and consistent with posting new content, I love when the posts pop up

The way you see nutrition labels on food packaging is about to change. By 2025, new front-of-package labels will start appearing on grocery store shelves, and by January 2026, they’ll be mandatory.

Over the past two decades, nutrition labelling has evolved into a cornerstone of public health strategies worldwide. Traditional back-of-package labels, which provide comprehensive nutritional details, are often overlooked due to their complexity and placement, making them less effective in guiding consumer choices.

Front-of-package labels address this issue by simplifying key nutritional information and positioning it in a more prominent, visible space. This streamlined approach has proven successful in leading consumers toward healthier choices, as research indicates that simplified, visible labels can influence purchasing decisions

This is the resource I go to when I need to check something, and it should be excellent for learning more on some privacy topics.

After that you might need to go find another resource for the specific technical topics. They have a discussion section, so you can ask for recommendations there?

hey it looks like you posted a few times. Two of them have discussions already, but maybe you can delete this one?

Oh the twitter post

I didn't notice where the quote ended

Oh so that's why, I reverse searched the image earlier and it linked to that post. Looks like there is another image on that profile now

By local community I meant one that's specific to a small local area (ex. School, municipality). It's possible that people from other parts of the world are seeing the post in the All type feeds, but I found it odd that only views went up while comments and votes didn't until morning.

It makes sense for the cause to be bots, but that makes the number deceptive since it's implying that your post reached a certain number of human viewers. It should be possible to adjust that number based on their estimates of humans vs. bots

The post has been viewed 3.7 million times.

Assuming this is the info box in new Reddit, those stats always felt... wrong

The difference between comments/votes and supposed "views" made it seem like the later was inflated.

Even more obvious was when something got posted at odd hours of the night in a local community. The view count would take off shortly after, while the comments and votes would only show up around when people wake up.

For astronomy there is !astronomy@mander.xyz. The communities on mander.xyz are STEM focussed and usually well moderated.

As for the instance, stay wherever you feel most comfortable. I have a few alts on other instances, including lemmy.world. You're also free to move later if you decide to.

If it helps I am based in the UK.
