YSK: Google to Block Access to Canadian News for Anyone Living in Canada

Jump

  • Possible solution (for now): Use a different search engine. I recommend DuckDuckGo.

    • Getting around magazine paywalls

    Jump

  • I tried it on two sites - New York Times and Financial Times. NYT gives the error message "12ft has been disabled for this site" and FT doesn't remove the paywall. Nice idea, shame about the execution. :)

    • Taking 11 years of data contribution with me! Train your AI with this, Reddit! (Power Delete Suite)

    Jump

  • I don't think they're trying to train their UI. Edited to add: UI = User Interface, training your UI is not a thing.

    • Use deluge scheduler to seed when you're asleep and you don't need bandwidth!

    Jump

  • I guess it varies between ISPs but mine has written to me a couple of times in the past to give me "gentle reminders" not to download "vast quantities of data" during peak hours. :P

    • How likely is it to download malware with pirated movies?

    Jump

  • I would never make assumptions when sailing the high seas! That said - seems kinda unlikely to me. Not impossible. Just unlikely. :)

    • How do we talk about the Lemmy Doodle? Is it a mascot? Is it a lemming or a rat or a lemur? Does it have a name?

    Jump

  • I am simultaneously intrigued, concerned, and aroused.

    • SLPT Do your misplace your kids often? Have them swallow an air tag. Cover it in yogurt to help get it down.

    Jump

  • I tried this but my son's iphone started acting up, something about "AirTag Found Moving With You"?

    • What's achievement in videogames are you most proud of?

    Jump

  • Being (briefly) 9th in the world at Unreal Tournament. :)

    • Use deluge scheduler to seed when you're asleep and you don't need bandwidth!

    Jump

  • I use my bittorrent client's time-based bandwidth setting. I just limit it to 10kb/sec when I'm awake, and unthrottle it overnight. That way my ISP doesn't get shirty about me gobbling up bandwidth at peak times either. :)

    • What's with all the NordVPN hate?

    Jump

  • You appear to be missing an arm. Here, take this one instead:

    • My First Encounter With A Cryptobro On The Fediverse

    Jump

  • If North Carolina is broke they should just change their name to North Blockchain. It worked for Long Island Iced Tea. /joke

    • People who played Skyrim I have some question?

    Jump

  • The good news is that Skyrim has a thriving modder community! There are lots of good doggo friends waiting for you to download them. A quick search for "husky" ingame or on Nexus Mods will turn up quite a few for you to explore. :)

    • I don’t belong here?

    Jump

  • Just because nobody's said it, and it's important:

    I reject the premise, you absolutely do belong here.

    • Red Cross first aid course

    Jump

    • What exactly are Reputation Points and how are they calculated? I've got mostly upvoted comments and a few boosts but I'm sitting at -3 and I'd like to know how it works and what it means.

    Jump

  • KBin's reputation points system is:

    • Downvotes get you -1rep.
    • Boosts get you +1rep.
    • Nothing else (notably including upvotes) changes your rep.

    I'm told it's "considered broken" by the developers and they're working on it.

    • What is your experience with pkms?

    Jump

  • Thanks! I'll take a look at them. Looks like they're both free to start too, so no harm in giving them a try :)

    • Daily cracked games round up

    Jump

  • I like this idea. It's a good way to know what's being preserved and what isn't. Thanks. :)

    • U.K. Climate Watchdog Urges Much Stronger Measures To Reduce Car Use

    Jump

  • IMHO the problem with the bus fare cap is that it's too high. £2 sounds great until you realise it's per-person and per-journey, so if there's three of you and you're only going a couple of miles, a minicab might end up being cheaper!

    • What is your experience with pkms?

    Jump

  • My main requirement is being able to type in facts or thoughts, and have them offloaded somewhere (I don't care where but would prefer it be local). Then later on I could bash in a few keywords and the program would spit out things it knows about those keywords. I don't want to be involved in trying to organise my thoughts. That way lies madness. :P
