  • What app is so useful, you can’t believe it’s free?

  • Big thing is that the dev is very active and responsive to feedback. Which is really useful given Lemmy is in its developmental phase for the most part.

    Unlike Sync which while good is largely abandoned thses days.

  • YouTube shorts disproportionately promotes alt-right content according to this experiment

  • I saw a tiktok video talking about how Instagram starts the redpill/incel stuff early for the young people then they become failures in life at which point they push the guru stuff for "guidance".

    EU and even China has at least made a attempt of holding these companies accountable for the algorithm but US and Canadian government just sat there and did nothing.

  • Does Pierre have one likable trait

  • He had a bit of quiet spell during the India foreign interference in the Conservative leadership things a couple months back. Funny enough foreign interference report is suppose to come out next week.

  • Does Pierre have one likable trait

  • You forgot Peterson, Rogan, Alex Jones and essentially every turd of a human being.

  • YouTube shorts disproportionately promotes alt-right content according to this experiment

  • Instagram is probably notably worse, I have a very establish account that should be very anti that sort of thing and it keeps serving up idiotic guru garbage.

    Tiktok is by far the best in this aspect, at least before recent weeks.

  • 4 of Canada's biggest banks leave Mark Carney-led climate initiative

  • At the end of the day it was all pandering in the first place.

    If it isn't a legal obligation then all these mega companies environmental, social and even fact checking activities was essentially just a line item under the marketing budget.

  • Instagram will show your friends what Reels you’ve liked

  • I like to block Trump glazers and quite few other accounts of that nature.

    Actually think the the Lemmy style user lookup where you can quickly see what stupid comments people have posted in the past to be rather useful for sifting out the low quality trash.

  • Pierre: "I've already ordered all of our Conservative MPs, Senators, and our staff, to stay away from TikTok all together...by the hostile regime in Beijing."

  • Pierre: "I've already ordered all of our Conservative MPs, Senators, and our staff, to stay away from TikTok all together...by the hostile regime in Beijing."

  • I'm glad that Pierre is dumb enough to start fights with people who don't really care about him.

  • Charlie Angus: "I'm going to say something bluntly, something I've never said about any other political leader: I don't believe Pierre Poilievre is fit to lead our nation." - 69 seconds

  • I really can't understand how Jagmeet has been allowed to lead for so long with the results he's had and Charlie didn't even get a shot.

    And then there's this. How do NDP members defended him barely beating Niki Ashton.

    And yet, in the end, the result was not even close. Angus — with 19 per cent of the vote — not only finished more than 30 points behind Singh, he barely beat Niki Ashton (17 per cent) for second place.

  • Pierre Poilievre: Trudeau...they're all Justin Trudeau.

  • I think the biggest difference is that while people probably shouldn't some genuinely like Trump but it seems most people really just tolerate Pierre at best.

    inanity of modern day conservatism in canada

  • Something Stinks on Canada's Reddit Forums

  • Just want to say Rachel Gilmore one of my favourite modern social media journalist. Certainly worth a follow if you're into that format of Canadian political content.

  • "Gatekeeping" is when you don't think "Dragonfucker" is a gender

  • Thanks for the heads up I'll have to take a look.

  • "Gatekeeping" is when you don't think "Dragonfucker" is a gender

  • It be super useful having a shared block list like AdBlockers across all social media. Certainly make things a lot more pleasant.

  • Chief actuary disagrees with Alberta government belief of entitlement to more than half of CPP

  • The chief actuary's position paper, posted online on Friday, comes to a similar conclusion as University of Calgary economics professor Trevor Tombe. Last year, Tombe calculated that Alberta would be entitled to between 20 and 25 per cent of the $575-billion plan.

    "It is a clear rejection of the government's 53 per cent claim that has been quite prominently touted now for some time," said Tombe, who is the director of fiscal and economic policy at the university's School of Public Policy.

    ...

    Tombe says LifeWorks derived that estimate by assuming Albertans would be entitled to as much interest as if it had created an independent provincial pension plan in 1966 — when the CPP began — and watched interest accrue.

    The chief actuary, Assia Billig, disagreed with the LifeWorks interpretation. Her position paper says the federal law governing the CPP must be interpreted as if all provinces could withdraw from the plan at the same time and take their share.
