Very detailed review, thanks!

I’ll look into that, thanks!

Biology majors: intense focus

Computer Science Majors: Lost their mind

I actually sent a bunch of prompts through image generators till it gave something close to what I wanted

Using generative AI to try and visualize generative AI

It sounds like some weird ritual that someone scratched into a notebook.

Drip seems to be the leading recommendation. I’ve edited the post with it so people seeing the meme also get the recommendation :)

We should definitely be telling more people about F-Droid, but let’s not get our hopes up

Accessibility (not being on FDroid only) was one of the things I was looking for when looking for recommendations. Thankfully the leading recommendation is on Google Play & iOS App Store :) I have edited the post above with more details

Dear men I need you to go download an app called “Flo” and start using it chaotically. Don’t ask anyone how to use it. Just use it. The more, the better. Let’s Christmas tree that data.

As a software developer who loves to screw the data and a person who will do ANYTHING can to protect women for the next 4 years, I am so excited to begin tracking my manstrual cycle

As for voting under duress, it’s also a concern with mail in ballots and voting by phone. It can be worse with online in the same way that scams are easier online.

I know someone who voted by phone this recent election in my home province, and they were eligible to do so because of sudden health issues. The phone call included multiple people who verified their information, took down the vote, and then verified the vote. I imagine something would get flagged if there was any discrepancy.

I’d also like to link to this Tom Scott video

Why Electronic Voting Is Still A Bad Idea: https://youtube.com/watch?v=LkH2r-sNjQs

The strongest argument for me: trust

Even with our paper ballots, hand counting, and many checks along the way, people now have doubts about the accuracy of the results. No matter how good the tech is, it will be impossible to convince the general public that the online votes are accurate.

Also this classic xkcd

Huh

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/motel

Blend of motor +‎ hotel, from the original Motel Inn of San Luis Obispo in California, USA, established in 1925 by Arthur Heineman (1878–1974).

While looking for a term to describe the original post, and came across this. I’m going to make a separate post about it

The graphic for context

Honestly that might be more helpful.

I sometimes see the overwritten reddit comments when searching for a topic, and I wish that the comment would link to the person’s new account (wherever they may be) in addition to the usual blurb on whg they aren’t active on reddit anymore

Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.

I’m not sure if I’ve seen this, is this about the pronunciation?

I agree and went back and forth on whether I should manually edit the thumbnail in the post. The DeArrow project is cool for replacing clickbait thumbnails, but I didn’t see an easy way to paste a link and get the alternate thumbnail.

The video itself seemed decent and informative for people unfamiliar with Canadian history. As for potentially interesting things it mentioned

Why it has a lower population:

• before the bridge in 1997, it was hard to access
• economy was based around farming and shipbuilding, with fewer natural resources to extract, which didn’t support faster population growth from immigration and investments

Why people settled there:

• large coastline with relatively warmer waters, which made it comfortable than nearby provinces
• the soil was good for farming, specifically potatoes, producing 1/4 of Canada’s potatoes and historically being an important province for food security

Why it is its own province:

• being an island made it geographically distinct and the people living there valued self governance and independence compared to nearby provinces
• eventually due to debts and other economic reasons, it joined the rest of Canada to relieve the financial strains, on the condition that it remains a separate province

Then the video talks about what advantages this history provides, and some other fun facts

Thanks :)

No problem!

It’s hard to tell what the community is about from just the name alone
