This post was reported for potential astroturfing, likely because of the very long name (and the broken about page)

It looks like a real organization:

https://www.ourcommons.ca/Content/Committee/441/FINA/Brief/BR11979890/br-external/CanadianDoctorsForProtectionFromGuns-e.pdf

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/gun-regulations-domestic-violence-1.7311594

Others who have endorsed the recommendations include gun-control advocates PolySeSouvient, Canadian Doctors for Protection from Guns,

Bulleted lists, a weird positive tone, unnecessarily professional, a summary or "but you should check with an authority figure" sentence at the end

I wasn't sure which article to link, there are many opinion articles with their own takes on it

Here's the Wikipedia

Welcome 😊

I think it's a mix of the two. There are legitimate reasons, and commercial reasons

Synology does not manufacture its own hard drives but instead certifies and rebrands drives from Toshiba and Seagate, leaving out only Western Digital among the world's largest manufacturers.

They're disabling features

Synology, maker of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, will seemingly remove advanced features from its Plus devices that are not using hard drives provided by, or certified by, Synology itself, starting with its 2025 lineup.

What you might lose from using non-Synology-approved hard drives could include pool creation and support for any issues. De-duplication, lifespan analysis, and automatic HDD firmware updates could also disappear on non-approved drives, Synology's press release suggests.

What is the 48.4% for Reddit, since it isn't decentralized at all?

Someone ate a bee 🤔

Looks great, feel free to promote on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca as well!

Answering the question:

• 2S - Two-Spirit
• L - Lesbian
• G - Gay
• B - Bi-Sexual
• T - Trans
• Q - Queer or Questioning
• I - Intersex
• A - Asexual
• +- All other identities

Different groups or different people may choose to use different acronyms. The downvotes are likely from the implication that this is an annual change or 'flavour'.

Here is a discussion about this (as well other variations in terminology for ethnicity, homeless/unhoused, and more) from a UManitoba linguistics professor: https://theconversation.com/bipoc-or-ibpoc-lgbtq-or-lgbtq2s-who-decides-which-terms-we-should-use-159188

Tagging @Whitebrow@lemmy.world as well since they had a related question

I get comments on months old posts, I'm fine with it since it will help future users

If the person is looking for a discussion (ex. They need help with the software I posted about), then it's usually better they make a new post

If you worked at B.C.'s Interior Health authority between 2003 and 2009 and believe you may be the victim of stolen identity or a hacked CRA account, please email, in confidence, harvey.cashore@cbc.ca or text or call 416-526-4704.

It's actually possible to create local only communities, which would restrict access to users on lemmy.ca. While that doesn't completely do what you're looking for since Canadians on other instances won't be able to see it, it might help somewhat?

Welcome!

We also have a few custom front ends, one of which is https://old.lemmy.ca/

Since it's developed by a third party, it's likely not as stable as the main interface, but it's fun to look at 😄

Believe me I want the same thing, and I'd imagine most people here want the same. The solution is to post more of what you want to see so others can learn from it. There's no entity here deciding what content people post

I didn't know about the IBM plant, and if you want to make a post about it in !canada@lemmy.ca or some other community, I think it would be cool for more people to know about it

Note that there are two similar sounding products. A friend tried the plant balls and enjoyed them, but then bought the bag of vegetables balls to take home and was disappointed

If it's a public list, feel free to share it on !buycanadian@lemmy.ca :)

I agree that this is happening. While we should be aware of what they're up to when it directly affects us, we could use more Canada specific content

I try to share what I can, feel free to share some as well :) If you have a website that you recommend, I can see if I can share more from there

While it's still somewhat of a blackbox, some definitions of "open source AI" are better than others

The OSI one is decent
