I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)
The article also linked to this Mastodon post where someone has been sharing their findings
https://digipres.club/@foone/113313513964826090
One potential concern is
the fact that Redbox machines contain a file that has “a complete list of titles ever rented, and the email addresses of the people who rented them, and where and when.” She also found that the first six and last four digits of credit card information was logged. She said that the records on the particular unit that she was looking at contained 2,471 different transactions and had records on it dating back to 2015.
This is good feedback, and I agree. I try my best to limit moderation to content that needs removing, and simply vote on the rest.
One thing I find is that mods are more likely to remove/nuke a thread when they’re stretched thin or there is a wave of rule breaking content. Bringing on more active mods can help so that each mod can spend more time scrutinizing each post.
The other great thing about the Fediverse is that you can make your own version of a community if you disagree with how one is being run. I’ve joined a few communities with different styles of moderation
What communities do you check that are more quiet now?
I think it’s because it’s just memes and also quite hard moderation and downvotes
Could this be specific to the American election?
I feel like I’ve seen more items in the moderation queue recently. I can’t say I’ve had to act on more items though
I can only speak for myself:
I’m here, still reading and voting, but I haven’t posted/commented as much recently.
Life got a bit busy, should be back to normal in a bit

Canada:
First, locked phones are a thing of the past. Effective December 1, 2017, service providers will have to offer unlocked devices to their customers.
What are the benefits of having an unlocked device?
An unlocked device can be used on other networks, which means that you will be able to switch providers and keep the same phone. That means more flexibility for you, the consumer.

You could take it a step further and set a temporary network name & password for the hotspot, and then change it back afterwards
that way you can use your hotspot near your TV in the future without worry
Well this is duck duck go, I don’t think that is personalized?
See if you can find guides for “Wi-Fi card replacement” for the model that you are looking into. For guides, try https://www.ifixit.com/
If it is a simple matter of unplugging a card (like the image above), it should be easy enough to undo if something goes wrong. Then instead of replacing the Wi-Fi card, just leave it out.

So what’s our timeline here?
Not long! It will probably happen in our lifetimes. We just need to figure out… how to make it work
Finding the setting:
Is there a reason for such a high proportion?
We have mail as an option here (our province in Canada is having an election this month), but quite a lot of people go and vote in person either on the day or on one of the early voting days
No downside to either option, just curious about the history behind it
Yea please, this is my primary method for seeing updates about KDE
There is nothing inherent in knockoff that says it doesn’t work. That would be a fake.
While I can find definitions that call it “an inferior copy” (link), that’s not the point. Common usage has made it so that people will assume things about the quality or efficacy of the medication when certain words are used. Even if a word is technically correct, perceptions about the word can make it a bad choice.
Often when patents expire and other options emerge, they are called “generics” or “store brand” versions. Those terms don’t carry the negative associations.
The original comment you replied to said
Yeah, they aren’t “knock-offs” or “imitations.” That is some bad reporting.
They used quotes to point out that those words usually imply an inferior quality, something which doesn’t do what it says that it does, something that is produced without permission, etc.
While the drugs may still be copies, word choice can affect how people perceive the quality / efficacy of them.

A few points brought up in the comments
My thoughts:
community promo
If you’re a medical professional on the Fediverse, some communities you might be interested in:
Privacy, security, intellectual property
MIT license:
Explore a beautiful Windows-first design. Manage all your files with increased productivity. Work across multiple folders with tabs. And so much more.
It looks nice, and has extra features like tabs, tagging 7zip/archive management, cloud drives, git integration, comparing file hashes, etc.
The only issue I had was performance, it took a long time to start each time. I’m planning on trying it again sometime later
Maybe Fossify Gallery?
I see this issue requesting Ultra HDR instead of regular HDR
https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Gallery/issues/166
So it might have regular HDR?
