Supposedly the outcry caused them to "put a pause on this launch for the time being", as of a few hours ago
Hey Mods, first thanks to all of you for all the feedback on this launch today - we really appreciate it. We're taking it all in and will be putting a pause on this launch for the time being.
For now, I suggest filling out the form if you don't want to be opted in. We'll keep all of you posted on our next steps, including the revised launch date.
The modmail has been copied below. The announcement is linked in the first comment, and people are justifiably annoyed.
> Hi Mods, > > We are in the process of rolling out a big overhaul to Subreddit Wikis, including a new layout, tools, discoverability, and more. > > TL;DR - We’ve given wikis a makeover. The improved wiki (launching next week) includes: new tools and layout, additional safety features, more edit access options, and improved discoverability. For those with wikis built on old.reddit, we’ll move your existing content over, so that everything is preserved. Edits made via old.reddit after the migration won’t sync to the new system and vice versa. > > Keeping a wiki fresh and up to date can be time-consuming, and mods shouldn’t have to do it all alone. As part of this update, “successful contributor access” will be enabled by default for your community wiki the week of July 14. > > - Successful contributors are based on their past posts/comments within your community and high contributor quality score > > The entire wiki or individual pages can be restricted to “mod-only” editing at any time (after the above changes are made) within “Wiki settings” found in Mod Tools on desktop. > > This setting manages for quality and safety while enabling more Wiki maintenance support and relevant content creation. In early testing, subreddits with this setting enabled did not require mod revisions. > > To opt out of this setting being turned on in your community before July 14, please let us know via this form.
ActivityPub support was discussed and then deferred
Looks like it was discussed and then deferred
We made a post about our actions here
I think the title may be causing the downvotes, the first part of it sounds like a confirmation/ exposé rather than a personal analysis by the OP, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but might be misleading at first glance
Something like this might have done better
I didn't like how Mark Carney behaved at the stampede, and so I looked at the clip carefully to pick out a few points that may extend to how he treats the people around him
Note: I haven't had a chance to read the article yet, I'm hypothesizing based on the comment section on why people didn't like it
Neat

Maybe the first one, the one on keywords?
Cool! You could post them here one at a time if you haven't already
It makes it more accessible, but part of it might also be SEO bait
I skipped to the second section
Odd, something may have broken with the registration submission. We'll look into it
Every programmer faces the problem of finding good names to communicate the author’s intent. See how science answers this question and get actionable insights.
> This article is divided into two chapters. > > - The first one, starting with section “Introduction to naming in programming” presents a review of scientific literature present on the topic. That section will deepen your understanding of the current body of knowledge on naming things. > - The second chapter, starting with section “Guidelines for naming conventions in programming” presents actionable recommendations to improve your skills in choosing thoughtful class, function or variable names. If you’re looking for tips, go there.
> There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.
Your post is being downvoted and I think it's because this isn't the right community for your question. This community is for linking to high quality comments and posts on the fediverse
This question is better for one of these
I do love the vertical $10 bill

I haven't seen one for auditors specifically, but you could ask in one of the ask communities
Alternatively you could ask in a community for the country you are looking to move to
I see you made a new community, looking forward to seeing it grow!

I agree, but this isn't a new thing (which my post may have implied). I see some old projects on here from around 10 years ago, and the description on their site was last updated in 2022 at the latest
If you run it on your own hardware then you know exactly how much energy it's using. Some of the models can even run on the average computer, but the quality is not great.
The problem we have right now is where everyone is trying to use generative AI for everything, all the time, even for basic takes such as googling for a fact, simple math that could be done on a calculator, etc. They're also often using the latest and greatest AI models, which are powerful and spend a lot of processing power each time. In order to run the servers to respond to all that, companies use a large amount of power, and then use water to cool the servers. That's the water usage from what I understand.
So if you use a simpler / more efficient model, and only use it for tasks where it's better than conventional tools, you'll be doing much better power usage wise.
It's actually only 17%, and even that was "I haven't changed my habits", which could be someone that was buying Canadian already.
The 53% was people who changed habits and are buying more Canadian/ international. The rest includes no change, drinking less, and people who don't drink.
Here is the breakdown:
A recent survey of 191 respondents reveals that more than half (53.1%) have changed their alcohol consumption habits since the tariffs were introduced. Of those, 35.1% say they’re now only buying Canadian products, while 12% report drinking less overall. Another 18.3% have doubled down on imports, buying more international options outside the U.S.
But not everyone is convinced that buying Canadian will make a difference. Turns out just under one in five survey respondents (17.3%) admitted they haven’t changed their habits and approximately the same proportion report not drinking alcohol at all.
So the headline is potentially misleading. I also don't love the survey options, and it's a pretty small sample size

A number of communities use scheduled threads to help get discussion started, and I thought this community could benefit from something like that. It reduces the pressure on individual users to be the first one to post a discussion post, since this community is mostly news/research articles.
It could be to chat about how things are going professionally, to share stories from that week, to discuss a piece of news/research in depth, etc.
If this sounds good to you, how often should the threads be scheduled? Any other considerations?

I've seen mentions of this site before, but haven't explored it till now. It's neat, I imagine other provinces have similar resources?

I previously used Nova and finally moved to the open source side with Kvaesitso. I didn't like using a search focused launcher at first, but I decided to try and use it for a few months to get used to it. What I've found is that:
- I barely ever scroll down into the widgets menu and so I don't make use to widgets as much as I'd like to
- Even after carefully setting up the search settings, I find it unintuitive and prefer to use specific apps for specific tasks
- I like having apps sorted by tags, but the tiny moving pill shape icons aren't as nice as if I had folders on my desktop
The biggest problem now is that Kvaesitso is draining my battery for some reason. Battery usage says that it used 27% of my battery today.
I think I gave it a fair shot, and I'd like to try something new.
