I thought it might be in settings but I don’t see it. For me, I got an option for “just this one” vs “always” when I tried to open a video, and it seems to be remembering that.

You could try backing up any settings and resetting the app to see if you get anything different, although it really should let you pick a default at any point

Facebook/Meta made itself to be the de facto method for accessing the internet in the region, and then refused to regulate its engagement-based algorithm as it fueled violence and unrest in the region

https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/09/myanmar-facebooks-systems-promoted-violence-against-rohingya-meta-owes-reparations-new-report/

Facebook owner Meta’s dangerous algorithms and reckless pursuit of profit substantially contributed to the atrocities perpetrated by the Myanmar military against the Rohingya people in 2017, Amnesty International said in a new report published today.

The Social Atrocity: Meta and the right to remedy for the Rohingya, details how Meta knew or should have known that Facebook’s algorithmic systems were supercharging the spread of harmful anti-Rohingya content in Myanmar, but the company still failed to act.

“In 2017, the Rohingya were killed, tortured, raped, and displaced in the thousands as part of the Myanmar security forces’ campaign of ethnic cleansing. In the months and years leading up to the atrocities, Facebook’s algorithms were intensifying a storm of hatred against the Rohingya which contributed to real-world violence,” said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.

If you have a moment, do you have any foods from Burma that you would recommend we try someday?

The Fossify one is decent

IIRC they stopped collecting data briefly because it was affecting the sites they were checking. They must have fixed that since it’s running again

So while lemmy.ca is a Canadian instance (hosted in Canada, run by Canadians, etc.), it’s federated and so you can still connect to communities everywhere else. I would recommend skimming through these two pages :)

https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started

https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/detailed-overview

Each community is free to decide what content belongs in it, and users are free to subscribe to the ones that match what they’re looking for. If it helps, you can find some more Canada specific communities here:

• pinned post of Canadian communities: https://lemmy.ca/post/2890824
• communities that were made on lemmy.ca: https://lemmy.ca/communities

I don’t know if we have a community specifically for Canadian news, but the country / province / territory / city communities generally fill that niche.

I personally prefer to only use my subscribed feed (instead of all) so that I can curate it the way I like it

The description sounds more like an AI receptionist than an AI nurse. It would be helpful if patients could ask follow-up questions to the automated phone call before an appointment. Some clinics don’t have the manpower for that, and especially not in all the languages that the local population might speak.

I’d be interested in seeing how good the model actually is, and how it determines when to pass it along to a human

The concern is with making sure the AI model is only used where it makes sense. Those who are looking to cut costs will try and use it everywhere, and that needs to be kept in check

The GoodKarmaToolkit in particular is an extra project that is managed by ArchiveBox, but the listed services aren’t made by them. I’m not as familiar with ArchiveBox itself, and it looks like there’s an open issue about AI stuff: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/1139

There is another called Data Hoarder that does this job too.

Yup, Hoarder was the one I was planning to use for bookmark management: https://hoarder.app/

[no major spoilers in this comment]

I asked two separate friends in the medical field for what they thought of the show, and both of them started with saying that the character is annoying 😄

I think that’s the goal, since there ARE people like that in the field that are difficult to work with. It also gives her room to grow and be ‘humbled’ through the course of the show.

The key is that you need to subscribe to the type of content you want to see. There’s no company here deciding what your feed is going to be.

@[email protected], what kind of stuff are you interested in? I’m happy to help you find related communities :)

I can also see some people being opposed to them spending the donation money on ads, since they’d be giving money to companies that may be in opposition to what we’re doing here (or ideological reasons around the advertising industry in general).

Maybe if there was a separate pool of donations specifically for advertising, then people who want to support that can donate to it? Those who don’t can still donate to the projects themselves

Yup, the installation guide says to comment out the things you don’t want to run

There’s the good-karma-kit, which is a Docker compose bundle of some popular projects: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/good-karma-kit

It could act as a list to go off of, if you don’t want to host all of them. The link has more info on each, as well as which ones are non-profit / for-profit

Overview

Have some space computing power and want to donate it to a good cause? How about 10+ good causes at once?

♻️ put an under-utilized system to good use
🚲 use as much or as little CPU/RAM/DISK as you want
✨ 100% more soul warming than mining
📈 geek out over your CPU/disk/bandwidth stats on the leaderboards

This is a collection of containers that all contribute to public-good projects:

• networks: Tor, i2p
• computing: boinc, foldingathome
• archiving: archivewarrior, zimfarm, kiwix, archivebox, pywb
• storage: ipfs, storj, sia, transmission

This v1 list was started by the ArchiveBox project, but it’s open to contributions.

Congrats 😊

We got clear weather for once too (Vancouver)

Depending on what restrictions you have, you could try VSCode? That’s what students were told to do at my university for remote C / C++ development off the school’s servers

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh

I’m not familiar with the others, but for vscode

• click the symbol that looks like >< in the bottom left
• potentially install the remote SSH add-on if it asks for it
• log in
• open the left sidebar and tell it to open the folder you are developing in

I imagine it’s because that is the source that the person saw the article on and/or they don’t notice the issue because of adblock/pi-hole.

I’ve done that a few times where I link a site that’s broken without adblockers, or it has a paywall that only shows up part of the time.

Gentle reminders help! It might be cool to have a bot that checks a resource like ground news and links to the same article on a few alternate sources

“Hey look! It’s the first fish to walk on land”

*stomps

“You saw it, it was coming right at us”

Some apps have previews of the article when you open the comments, which might encourage people to read a bit more of the source content

Oh that’s cool, does your device have hardware keys then?

The second link has some history on where this idea came from

Something feels off with the UI, maybe the rounding or padding?
