Modern social media: Feed algorithm bots curating and serving up bot-created content for other bots to create fake engagement on so that advertising bots can find the real humans that still exist in the desolate wastelands and market them bot-created ads.

Using the wrong version of “its” is pretty hamas there, bro.

Personally speaking: Fuck adding another app to my phone. Go visit justwatch.com

We have Remembrance Day (Nov 11, similar to Veterans Day in the US).

After that (sometimes even right after Halloween) Christmas invades.

The short answer is: Because the Northern states that we share a land border with currently observe Daylight Saving Time and we’ve been waiting literally years for the States to figure their shit out.

Well, it’s a full keypair being stored: Authenticators like Bitwarden need to first provide the public key to the relying party (RP) so the RP can issue the encrypted auth challenge. The challenge then is handed back to the authenticator, user verification happens, then the challenge is signed by the private key and sent back to the RP for verification to complete the auth ceremony.

You’re thinking about “device-bound passkeys”. Bitwarden and any other third-party credential manager leverages “synced passkeys” because they don’t control the hardware.

Synced passkeys are actually called out in the FIDO Alliance’s FAQs as preferred since they more closely align with the desired replacement of traditional passwords.

It’s an interesting thought to consider that without access to centralized distribution platforms like app stores, something incredibly similar is created in its place: The so-called “super-app” (e.g. WeChat, Alipay).

No problem! Best of luck. 🙂

How the people of Saskatchewan keep these clowns employed as their leaders is a mystery. The province is rapidly becoming the Mississippi of Canada.

Isn’t this the plot of The Lorax?

Very cool to see a fediverse alternative to r/place!

Clarity matters a lot in legal documents. Anyone else remember the case of the comma that cost millions?

…which should hopefully be consistent in future cases.

This was my main concern. Legal rulings are built on those that came before, however they can also be reversed by higher courts.

I found this complementary CBC article on this that provides a little bit of clarity:

But part of the immediate significance of the judgment, advocates say, is that it happened in a court that’s relatively accessible; the law has been clarified that at the small-claims level, a contract for sexual services is enforceable.

That means that a sex worker who hasn’t been paid by a client can now pursue that in small claims court without having to argue the law, so long as they have the supporting facts.

“Now they can bring this judgment and put it on the judges desk and say, ‘here it is, there’s precedent for it; I want my judgment,’” said Rose.

Note that this is a quote by the plaintiff’s lawyer (Jessica Rose). I’m obviously no lawyer myself but I would read this as precedent-setting for the Small Claims Court of Nova Scotia, with the caveat that other provinces’ small claims courts and all higher courts are still lacking their own ruling here. Ultimately the law itself needs to be tested in higher courts, which is also referenced in the article:

In 2021, the alliance sued the federal and Ontario provincial governments, arguing that the conditions of criminalization allow exploitation to flourish. That case had its first hearing in October 2022, and is awaiting a judgment. If successful, it could result in the law being struck down, paving the path to full decriminalization of sex work.

Don’t get me wrong, this is a win and worthy of setting a legal precedent, however I am skeptical of the first line in the article:

Earlier this year in Halifax, a former sex worker won a precedent-setting case.

If this was Small Claims court, are there examples of rulings from this court actually setting precedent for other courts (e.g. Lower or Superior courts)?

They act like flying taxis then they should be treated as such.

Doc saw his opportunity to diversify out and pursue his lifelong desire to be a preacher 😂

I’ve also experienced this, as well as my settings not persisting between updates to the app.

What I did temporarily to get the settings to “stick” is right after saving them to quit the app via multitasking and restart it. Then my settings apply correctly.
