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

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)

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 :)
@[email protected] 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 [email protected]. 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.

Wireless is just a fad anyway /s
Many expressed their appreciation for Kalle’s years of service to the Linux networking stack but as of writing no one has stepped up to take over the formal maintainer role. Thankfully there are other Linux WiFi driver developers out there working on the increasing number of Linux wireless drivers, just not any immediate leader yet to take on the maintainer duties.
Good to know :)
While I didn’t use Linux back then, I heard the wifi situation was difficult to deal with. I assume this maintainer is responsible for fixing that over the years?

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?

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

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
How does this compare to Bookwyrm, or say Trakt?
