Was in the hospital for two months with mono. In ICU on a respirator for 4 weeks of that.

Was fired from my job, evicted from my apartment, and my girlfriend at the time decided to cheat on me while I was in there.

Good times.

Yeah this was way more traumatizing than anything Signs had.

That’s fair, and people will use things different than the intention of the thing if it suits them. My point was more to highlight that you cannot group all things where buying and selling happen as “marketplaces” and expect the same protections/moderation etc.

This new tool is to replace the local ads/garage sale like equivalents with something self hosted. EBay is not one of these, regardless of how people choose to use it. As an auction site it is on a different level in both functional and legal experience. You cannot expect that from Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace Kijiji, or you local newspaper ads or garage sales.

But a classified ad site is not a marketplace, and that’s where we need to be mindful of the distinction.

EBay is an exception here, its also not a classified ads site.

EBay is an auction house. Auction houses have stricter rules.

Classified ads is you grandma posting her VCR for sale, or selling your used boat locally. Its a parallel to a newspaper classified section. There has never been any control on sites like this other than “buyer beware”. Craigslist, Kijiji and Facebunk Marketplace are all classified ad equivalents and have zero guarantee or protections usually.

Given these are meant to be local ads, the onus is on the buyer to go to the sellers house and verify what they are buying.

Yeah, in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, you can get authentic poutine. It starts getting rare to find a good one the further west you go. Its a French-Canadian cuisine and thus Quebec-centric.

In BC the poutines are usually all wrong. Chicken gravy and shredded cheese instead of room-temp curd and a properly dark beef gravy.

When the place actually tries to make it an original take, its better. Like the Brown’s Social House Rocky Mountain Poutine, or that place that does it with tater tots. 😂

Poutine.

This. Its a bit slow but the auto import is a life save and the app is really nice with the ability to easily scale the portions or keep the screen awake.

I grew up in Quebec until I was 7, and then moved to Ontario half way through the school year for Grade 2.

In Wakefield we were just starting to learn the times tables. In Ottawa, they were finished with them and were just about done division. I never really got to learn either before learning fractions.

As a result, while i can do quadratic equations and fractions in my head, I often struggle to reason out multiplication or division.

I mean, to be fair these guys are paid the lowest dollar and subcontracted at this point. They literally aren’t paid enough to make ends meet, they are too distracted worrying about their lives and family to bother worrying about some poor design that involved having movable panels crossing a pattern forcing an unnecessarily specific alignment.

Mostly unaffected save for some things. Emberstack kubernetes reflector opts to not make their own chart and their docs tell you to use Bitnami, so its the only chart I use that I’ll have to start maintaining myself unless Emberstack changes their stance.

My take is that the fediverse is wholesome. Today’s news isn’t but that is our current reality and the topics on a social network will always cover current events.

But when you really pay attention to the people here, they are wholesome. And if what you see is a lot of terrible people in your feed, start watching the instances they are coming from. Frequently the difference between a good and bad experience here is how well you curate your feed and how well your instance is moderated.

Starting projects.

I’ll update when I’m gold at finishing them.

Its what makes it more secure. Why do you need a chat app that allows your parents to accidentally stumble into a group of con artists or kids to stumble into things they shouldn’t be exposed to? It’s a messaging app, not gamer group chat.

This is what puts is way ahead of the others.

Unlike the other two, there are no servers that run discoverable group chats.

Because I dont need to pay rent for my files and I don’t have to worry about AI and VCs trying invade my privacy.
