Once a week or two for me before I got my labrador retriever.

Now once or twice a day vacuum and mop of the floor by the robo cleaner 😅

Would never do it that often if I had to do by hand.

I had no interest in this movie before. Now I do. Thanks officers!

It’s an app for keeping track of and reporting bird sightings.

Ushuaia is the port city for everyone going to Antarctica for tourism. Every ornithologist I’ve worked with on Antarctica bound tourism vessels has talked about going to the Ushuaia dump. This feelsike such a deep cut 😂

Same goes for visiting northern communities in the Arctic.

Want good arctic Fox photos? Go to the town dump.

So uh… By using fennec and sometimes a VPN. Am I making myself more unique and fingerprint able?

Should I be using something that sends randomised bogus data instead?

Here I thought I was private but some of these 1% figures makes it look like I’m very unique and easily tracked.

Hmm looks like some stats I pulled were from polls, and I fell victim to people paraphrasing that around 20% of rural people not having a primary care doctor in the last few years as “not even having seen a doctor” sorry about that.

40% of Americans haven’t seen a doctor in 5 years: https://studyfinds.org/americans-avoiding-the-doctor/ https://www.aarp.org/pri/topics/health/coverage-access/health-care-rural-america/?

But the limited stats on primary care and a lot of self reporting is very bad.

62% parasites infection: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.10.23284404v1.full

Typing in “southern united states rural primary care access” in Kagi has a lot of sad results.

In the US, people don’t go to the doctor when they have a problem, they go as a last resort because they have to ask themselves how much it would cost.

18% of Americans haven’t ever seen a doctor and 40% of Americans haven’t seen one for 5 years.

A number of studies in low income communities in the south show that over 60% of people in those communities have intestinal parasites. That’s just the ones we know of.

One thing we know for sure is that ivermectin is about as magic as they say it is for parasites only. It’s a fantastic drug for that.

Over 60% of low income citizens would likely feel much better after getting their parasites removed from ivermectin. So what they are seeing, seems true. They could be sick from something else but get rid of a long standing comorbidity of a pariste infection, you bet they are feeling good. They just think that relief from the varied symptoms from parasite is actually something else cured.

This ivermectin religion has real miracles, it’s just not the ones they think they are. This belief is entirely created because Americans don’t have healthcare. That’s why this belief isn’t found elsewhere.

Lovely_reader doing the real investigative journalism here, I love it ☺️

So yes it’s ai slopified, but it is also a real graph that didn’t need to be slopified but was done so using AI upscaling.

So, everyone is right in a way fun twist 😅

Pretty disappointed in Lemmy not noticing and downvoting this AI slop.

I’m all for calling out bullshit IoT garbage but zoom in and look closer.

Update: op updated the photo with a non AI image that’s the same but without hallucinated text. The original graph was real and made by a human, but through memes got degraded and an AI upscaler added new hallucinated text to it. Mystery solved and fixed.

That link is broken for me.

You mean they lied about it happing because it didn’t actually happen? Because this tweet by their official account looks to me like them disclosing a server seizure.

"THIS IS NOT A DRILL: The Dutch authorities, without a warrant, just seized one of our VPN servers saying they’ll give it back after they “fully analyze it”.

Windscribe uses RAM disk servers so the only thing the authorities will find is a stock Ubuntu install. The bigger worry is the unredacted Epstein files we had on there…"

Oh man both my brain and my browser are broken, neither of us could find the mention of Alberta. But you’re right 😅

Notice how they aren’t moving to Alberta. Even American doctors and nurses know how bad it is and how bad it’s going to get here.

Exactly my thoughts. The fact that he is doing this just suggests to me he’s getting paid better by lobbyists and basically keeps his money hidden in the Caymans.

I want our public servants paid well enough that they avoid corruption. How well does it work? Better than Mexico, but I’m not sure if it’s better than the US.

We need more ways to strengthen our democracy by holding our politicians accountable.

This is the answer.

Additional ideas: I happened to be on Synology and wanted to download google takeout files directly from Google to the nas. So I ran an instance of chromium in docker and used that browser to download the 50gb takeout files directly to the nas.

Take note of the size of your immich library before and after you import with immich go, and how big the takeout files are before using immich go. If you miss a few files you’ll know because of the size discrepancy.

One thing about monitors lasting so long is that it feels good that I’m not making e-waste from monitors every time I upgrade my computer. For the 25 years I’ve been using desktops I’ve only bought 3 monitors, I can’t say that about the rest of my computer hardware.

I hear you there. Almost every meeting presentation room I use still requires my usb-c to vga adapter and I just have to live with it. It’s the natural state of such places I think. It feels so amazing when I can plug directly into my laptop without an adapter. And yea I agree, they are a headache.

This seems like a non issue dramatised for headlines, they are phasing out outdated sata connection to only favour current m.2.

It’s like gpu and motherboard manufacturers announcing they are no longer including VGA ports in favour of DVI display port and HDMI. I don’t think that was a bad thing.

I’m sure some people who are lucky enough to have hardware that still requires SATA want to keep upgrading to new SATA devices but it’s been enough time. I’m ok with just m.2 now.

If the US had a law that all presidents must speak french, Trump never would have gotten in.

If there was such a law in Canada it wouldn’t change anything because Pierre Pollieve has shown you don’t have to be Trump to be a lot like him. And he speaks French just fine.

I agree with this. Police are for when force is required. We need major mental health support in this country at all stages, preventative, ongoing care and emergency help.

I’ve always thought that police should be paired with mental health professionals for these calls. But a seperate agency is an interesting idea.

I can get behind that!
