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

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

You could also try

• !astrophotography@lemmy.world
• !space@mander.xyz
• !space@lemmy.world

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.

You can also check out the instance / communities at

I think so, and I agree that it's confusing. There's some discussion about it here

Looks good! What is each dish?

In case that link doesn't load for some users: https://framapiaf.org/@debian

There have been some issues with bias with the university admin, but I wouldn't say that's the case with the university as a whole

For example

https://www.reddit.com/r/UCalgary/comments/10lgm6a/may_2023_elections_is_our_chance_to_get_what_we/

I'm on mobile and I can't check, but is this the riding that the university falls under?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calgary-Varsity

As for the author, I'm not sure. The profile only has this article, and I'm not well versed on the area of research to know if there is a bias or not

https://theconversation.com/profiles/andrew-allison-1511511/articles

Part of why I opened the article was because I saw that spin in comment sections earlier.

Now if it comes up in discussions, I'll know enough to speak about it

Depending on how primary care works where you are

tell your doctor too

Sometimes they don't hear about the problems with pharmacies or other places they refer people to. Letting them know means that they can send people elsewhere

You might be better off looking for a community where the moderation optimizes for that kind of discussion (ex. Removing low effort comments, requiring citations, academic oriented, etc). It's harder to find an entire instance that matches those points, but there should be a few communities like that

Then you can use the subscribed feed only, or block the communities you don't like

Lmao

I thought it was a lizard walking on a screen at first

trying to work with the other side to build an agreement, and everybidy else is being a spaz and complaining

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2025/01/canada-continues-to-strengthen-border-security-and-immigration-integrity.html

https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1005537/ontario-launches-operation-deterrence-to-strengthen-security-along-ontario-us-border

Securing the border helps both countries, I don't see any Canadian leader pushing against that. We've pointed out the issue for years

https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/fighting-gun-crime-canada-has-an-american-problem-2022-07-27/

Exclusive data obtained by Reuters for Ontario, Canada's most populous province, shows that when handguns involved in crimes were traced in 2021, they were overwhelmingly - 85% of the time - found to have come from the United States.

I'm hoping that the US makes similar investments on their side of the border.

Thank you for the detailed breakdown! Lots of new ones on there for me

I see, thank you!

I'm less familiar with the icons starting at around section 4 onwards.

Could anyone share / link what some of them are?

This is a cool one I haven't thought of before!

I believe there is a way to swap the homescreen with a FOSS one, but I agree that people shouldn't have to do that in the first place

It should be forked under a new name soon enough

For example, Mull is also by Divested Computing Group and this should be the new project for it

https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox

https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/categories/entertainment/

The Mozilla guide agrees

Apple and Nvidia Shield are better about it than Roku/Fire

You can also share your idea and people can tell you if it exists, but regardless you can make the community and run it the way you want

Once you have it set up, you can post on places like !newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca to help people learn about it

I think this might be the self hosted guide?

(Swapped the link)

I should have linked those, thank you!
