I can’t imagine making that trip in the late summer in the boreal on foot. Very sad regardless

This is so dumb that I totally beleive it

It’s used heavily in Elden ring and was my exposure to the word

The number of reported infections has nearly tripled in the two weeks since the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the outbreak, which appears to be linked to Malichita or Rudy brand cantaloupes.

US and Canada

A hacker group with connections to China maintained unnoticed access to the computer network of the Eindhoven-based chip manufacturer NXP for over two years.

Ooooof

I’m surpsied (but obviously shouldn’t be) that that many potential users would instantly bounce off Firefox instead of changing the default search engine.

In Canada. Yes they do. See my comment here: https://lemmy.world/comment/4958540

Yes. Often an add on. In Canada, it’s especially the case with koodo (telus’ “discount” brand) or lum (sasktel’s).

Pick 1 FREE Perk (available in Self Serve) Premium Voicemail Unlimited International SMS (from Canada) Rollover Data

Where the roll over data is the much better choice that would hurt to give up for roll over data

It happens on device before your carrier. So you don’t have to pay for voicemail. Big unexpected surprise for me (as I don’t have vm). Otherwise it’s on the fly and instant. Thought I wouldn’t care but sending unknow callers there is slick.

I’d completely forgotten this happened. Wild stuff.

Nope. I’m a new convert and I love it. Laptop monitor to the left of the big landscape for random screens. It’s fantastic

The q&a is super interesting, strongly recommend reading past the headline here

Ya I think so. These are always tech articles and Foss software is always a big feature.

But 1password has on going audits and a sane ui and mobile apps that pass the boomer-parent test. Canadian company too which is nice given the US centric tech world.

I’m in the migration path for sandhills and so I’m only used seeing them in farmer fields and super twitchy (due to hunting season). It’s so wild to see them in the South in people’s front yards!

I don’t understand what this provides. They already make it so you don’t have to give out credit card info. Is it just to avoid bank fees in some way? Avoid banking regulation?

Also whooping cranes. I’ve had them twice fly over head and they come in so fast compared to the other migrating birds – snow geese and cranes – it’s incredible. Seeing them far off, and you just “know”. Grab the camera and hope they fly over. They’re also a spectacular “good news” story of conservation.

I also watched a great grey owl hunt for voles for an hour, totally oblivious to us just sitting there. First time over ever wished for a shorter lens!

I think it’s trying to say that the gasoline cars have no fuel in them when transported (thus less fire risk) versus the batteries which can still burn when “empty” (which I doubt they are)

At least the front didn’t fall off

Introduced by US representatives Warren Davidson and Sara Jacobs, the amendment, first reported by WIRED, would prohibit US military agencies from “purchasing data that would otherwise require a warrant, court order, or subpoena” to obtain. The ban would cover more than half of the US intelligence community, including the NSA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the newly formed National Space Intelligence Center, among others.

I guess I’m not surprised, but I didn’t realize they had warrantless access to these data. With the attacks on e2e in the UK this really drives home how important encryption.
