I think it's better if you post your feature request on the projects development site: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues

Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

As the other commenters said, it is illegal. The most important thing is to be informed about your rights so that people and companies do not take advantage of you.

Yes, but the process of breaking down, as you mentioned, can be slowed down by eating healthy and exercising regularly, such as walking for at least an hour a day. For example, when my grandfather was in his 70s, he could easily climb a mountain, whereas I struggled. He had a lot of energy at that age and could walk for hours without stopping.

Your body breaks down faster if you become inactive as a pensioner.

Currently, it is not possible to run the Xbox App Store on Linux. While you can run the Epic Game Store and GoG with the Heroic launcher, you cannot run the Xbox app store.

He added with a larger-than-projected deficit of $6.5 billion on the horizon, the province might not be able to afford to go any higher.

Alberta, it's time to join the rest of the Confederation and implement a provincial tax.

I finished Horizon Zero dawn and I just started playing Forbidden West. I can't give you a detailed impression but so far, I like it.

Brazil starts formal process to assess US tariff retaliation, say sources in c/world@lemmy.world

Doh! You're right. I wrote this before sleeping. Nevertheless, I hope Brazil hits the US where it hurts.

Keep pushing back Brazil. Coffee should definitely be on the tarrif list.

New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

This is good. It means that when Microsoft and Asus release their ROG Xbox Ally, Valve will be able to lower their price so that it's affordable and accessible.

Long story short, LLMs are only tools, nothing more.

Those who are using Nvidia's driver 555, what's your experience in Wayland so far? Those who are using it in conjunction with KDE 6.1, what's your experience with multi-monitor VRR in Wayland? (lemmy.ca)

I currently have an AMD video card (6700 XT) and Wayland support is excellent. Also, multi-monitor support in Wayland works perfectly.

So what's your experience with Nvidia's 555 driver in Wayland? Those using it in conjunction with KDE 6.1, what's your experience with multi-monitor VRR? I ask about VRR because I heard that multi-monitor VRR in Wayland is still problematic.

This is for my own curiosity if an Nvidia video card could be considered as an upgrade option.

Immigrants to Canada are increasingly leaving this country for opportunities elsewhere, according to a study(opens in a new tab) conducted by the Institute for Canadian Citizenship and the Conference Board of Canada.

In fact, the number of immigrants who left Canada rose by 31 per cent above the national average(opens in a new tab) in 2017 and 2019.

According to the study, factors that influence onward migration include economic integration, a sense of belonging, racism, homeownership, or a lack thereof, and economic opportunities in other countries, the report revealed.

A little history on Reddit. From the politics subreddit with just 85,678 users in 2008 to 500 million active users today. Lemmy/Kbin will follow the same path. (lemmy.ca)
 

This is going to be a short and sweet little history of Reddit. Reddit was founded in 2005.

Take a look at what Reddit looked like in 2006: https://web.archive.org/web/20061206235353/http://reddit.com/

Note that it didn't have subreddits back then because the user base was too small.

Look at Reddit in 2008 (December 31): https://web.archive.org/web/20081231080128/http://www.reddit.com/reddits/

Politics had just 72,314 subscribers. Technology had 85,678 subscribers, and the "Nicher" Food subreddit had only 4,438 subscribers.

Lemmy/Kbin follows the same path. Initially, generalist communities like Politics and Technology will have the most momentum and gain subscribers, just like Reddit did back then. As the user base grows, "niche" communities will be able to sustain themselves.

Let's not think about the Reddit of today, let's think about Reddit of old. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Threads collects so much sensitive information it’s a ‘hacker’s dream,’ experts say (archive.today)
 

The specificity and quantity of information the text and multimedia platform can access poses a risk to most users, if it falls into the wrong hands or is used to target them, tech experts agree.

“This is a hacker’s dream,” said Claudette McGowan, a longtime banking executive who founded Protexxa, a Toronto-based platform that uses artificial intelligence to rapidly identify and resolve cyber issues for employees.

The European Commission today decided it is safe for personal data to be transferred from the European Union to US-based companies, handing a victory to firms like Facebook and Google despite protests from privacy advocates who worry about US government surveillance.

Apps like Uber and DoorDash use AI to determine pay. Workers say this makes it impossible to predict wages (archive.is)
 

Algorithms are used to dictate speed, behaviour and, ultimately, the wages of gig workers, resulting in different payments for the same work conducted at the same time, with the same skills
