named a TV show after it

The Springfields?

As much as I love Vulcan, AB… based on the qualifiers for this post, it is disqualified by Dildo, Newfoundland.

Dildo, Newfoundland, Canada: 803 people as of 2021.

Someone here mentioned Vulcan, Alberta - however given the qualifiers of country and size, its 1769 people disqualifies it.

Also, though I am a Trekkie myself and know that Vulcan is well known in those circles, it’s virtually unheard of outside them.

Meanwhile, Dildo:

First time I’ve seen it.

Time to build a new one and this time, dont tell investors.

In Canada, it must contain cream. Milk based desserts are labelled ice milk, and anything using oil or solids is a ‘dessert’. The primary determining factor of the definition is the milk fat content.

DuckDuckGo is still the main one but the Bing results annoy me (MSN news proxied articles from other news sites)

Up and comers that are promising:

Stumbled on this today, worth a look: https://seirdy.one/posts/2021/03/10/search-engines-with-own-indexes/

How you fuckers doing, eh?

Users are testing the impact of not using Google.

Spoiler: non-LLM enshittified search engines return reliable results and usually are not censored.

Haha, yes there’s that extreme. However that effect is a gradient. You start to notice it north of the 60th parallel (Canada where the bulk of the population lives) but it’s only slight. In winter the sun is just slightly south of the middle of the sky.

Here in Campbell River BC we are at the 50th parallel, and on Saturday at Noon (we are out of DST now so we are talking true noon) the sun was to the direct south, 45 degrees to the horizon. It rises and sets… but to the SE, S and SW.

Now I need to see a photo shop of a Post brand cereal named Nut Clarity, with picture of fuzzy almonds floating in milk.

I missed this, someone have the TL;DR for the clueless?

O.o this comment is from 2024?

The US continues to surprise me.

In Canada the driver is penalized if any of their passengers are not wearing a seatbelt. Refusal to wear one means getting booted from the vehicle.

Oh… This is it. The site I blacked out. Good grief what a horrible place.

There was some website that I’ve blacked out that had horrifying video of people dying in accidents. I remember someone sent me a link with a motorcyclist being hit by a train. I never clicked another link from that site.

It was worse than tubgirl.

I feel the same way about having to use Mac for work and going back to a Linux PC at the end of the day. God damn I hate Mac’s UX. From the entire UI, to the CMD key, to the fact that END functions as PGDN and goes to and of page instead of end of line.

Yep, for now I just add the Discourse forums to my RSS reader in Nextcloud and catch the new posts in the Nextcloud News app

Fediverse, Forums, or bust.

TIL… Thanks.

EDIT: Been playing with it a bit now and if it uses keepass as the DB the advantage I see right now is that having it in Nextcloud means automatic sync, and there are several autofill and syncing apps for various OSes and password sharing and automated checks for breaches. It’s probably a better option for anyone with Nextcloud than going the Keepassxc/syncthing route.
