I opened up Fdroid to check, and I found this one. I think it might be my new favourite calculator. I’ve always wanted something like speedcrunch on mobile.

At a previous job, they used to send them fairly often, using various tricks to keep people on their toes. I found it fun

What would that be testing, whether the users are psychic? If the email sender is legitimate, then what else would users need to do?

It’s a few months before house hippo season, but it does give people some time to prepare

It’s still FOSS, and you can either download it offline or selfhost the server if you want to use it without paying. Services cost money to run, I’m not going to ask for them to run that for free indefinitely 🤷

Assuming this is about duck.ai, I didn’t know they got shit for it. People I’ve talked to generally enjoy having that option available. It’s free and about as private as you can get with the current LLM chatbots, unless you self host one yourself.

At least until Confer gets off the ground. Once that happens, I’m hoping DDG switches to a similar model

That’s a bit of a stretch?

People who pay for Kagi likely tried the trial and found the results to be far enough better than google/microslop that they are willing to pay for the ongoing service. Or they want to support a business model that isn’t based around the advertising industry, so that someday Kagi can realistically compete with the incumbents. I don’t need to search for things often enough to justify the cost, but I know people who use it for work and consider it to be worth the cost.

Meanwhile people who bought NFTs thought that they could sell a copy of a digital image for lots of money.

I think they’re talking about DDG, not google

I’m surprised it took this long. The skill argument makes no sense, since you could just as easily try to apply it to any form of traditional gambling.

My bad, I missed that 😄

The links are dead for me, maybe it’s set to private? The first one doesn’t open anything, and the second one takes me to a login page

From what we can see on our end, this account doesn’t match the pattern of the other harassment accounts

That might actually work for a chaotic storyline with an antihero version of Two-Face. The dichotomous nature is baked into the character, maybe even too rigidly

Odd, its a pretty old website so maybe something broke. Looks like they have issues with their certificate or something

When I manually edit it to https, I needed to accept the risk to see it

I remember this interactive game/video where you can try it out yourself

When people hear the word “addiction” they often assume it implies catastrophe intoxication, loss of control, destruction. But addiction medicine describes a process long before those outcomes appear: the gradual shift from optional use to psychological reliance.

In Canada, healthcare is a provincial responsibility and so it might be different across the country. With medications especially, we have a patchwork of overlapping rules and support systems. The new national pharmacare system was supposed to be the first step towards fixing that mess, but unfortunately with the new government:

Also no problem and welcome to Canada! :)

By .gov did you mean the Canadian government sites? If not, these links might help (in order of how helpful it might be):

Also, what province are you moving to? You should look into healthcare before you end up needing it. For example, for British Columbia:

I would be careful about looking at websites from various immigration support companies. Some of the websites I came across seem to be AI generated.

That might be interesting! If you build on this idea, it would be cool to see ping times with location data, so instance operators can see what the performance is like with real world data. That was something we were concerned about when trying out different alternatives when leaving CloudFlare.
