I get comments on months old posts, I'm fine with it since it will help future users
If the person is looking for a discussion (ex. They need help with the software I posted about), then it's usually better they make a new post
People affected:
If you worked at B.C.'s Interior Health authority between 2003 and 2009 and believe you may be the victim of stolen identity or a hacked CRA account, please email, in confidence, harvey.cashore@cbc.ca or text or call 416-526-4704. Click here to contact CBC News completely anonymously using SecureDrop.
It's actually possible to create local only communities, which would restrict access to users on lemmy.ca. While that doesn't completely do what you're looking for since Canadians on other instances won't be able to see it, it might help somewhat?
Welcome!
We also have a few custom front ends, one of which is https://old.lemmy.ca/
Since it's developed by a third party, it's likely not as stable as the main interface, but it's fun to look at 😄
Sure but again, the CT scans aren't done just for fun and most medical procedures have some risk involved. If someone is getting a CT scan, chances are that there is something immediate to deal with and so the relatively small future risk of cancer can be worth it.
I haven't read through the study yet, but at most I think this will slightly change those risk calculations when deciding on diagnostic options
Unlike vaccines, someone's choice to skip the CT scan will limit the harm to just that person, but I'd rather people can make an informed choice on it than misunderstand the 5% statistic
Believe me I want the same thing, and I'd imagine most people here want the same. The solution is to post more of what you want to see so others can learn from it. There's no entity here deciding what content people post
I didn't know about the IBM plant, and if you want to make a post about it in !canada@lemmy.ca or some other community, I think it would be cool for more people to know about it
Note that there are two similar sounding products. A friend tried the plant balls and enjoyed them, but then bought the bag of vegetables balls to take home and was disappointed

I agree that this is happening. While we should be aware of what they're up to when it directly affects us, we could use more Canada specific content
I try to share what I can, feel free to share some as well :) If you have a website that you recommend, I can see if I can share more from there
I think the user is referring to the 'open by default' and 'supported links' feature in android apps, where clicking a link in a web browser opens it in the relevant app
I use this and it seems to work well. Boost should implement something similar, but in the meantime does this app help in your case?
While it's still somewhat of a blackbox, some definitions of "open source AI" are better than others
The OSI one is decent
Hopefully that title wasn't too clickbait, here is the article and details.

Tldr:
South Africa helicopter crash blamed on penguin in cardboard box that hit pilot's controls
Everyone was ok:
The aircraft sustained substantial damage but the pilot and passengers were uninjured, according to the incident report. The penguin was also unharmed, the report noted.
How it happened:
The pilot and passengers were conducting an aerial survey flight of an island off South Africa's Eastern Cape on January 19, 2025. The helicopter safely landed on Bird Island. Before departing, one of the passengers, who the incident report referred to as a "specialist," asked that they transport one of the penguins on the island back with them. The pilot agreed, and the penguin was placed in a cardboard box.
When the helicopter was at an altitude of around 50 feet, the cardboard box slid off the passenger's lap -- onto the pilot's cyclic pitch control lever, the incident report said. The helicopter rolled to the right. The pilot could not recover, the incident report said. As the aircraft descended, the main rotor blades of the helicopter struck the ground, and the helicopter landed on its side, about 60 feet from where it had taken off.

I'll pin this to the instance briefly, but please see the original post for the most up to date details. Enjoy!

Thank you to everyone that nominated songs, discussed the options, and voted in the survey! Sometime in the future, we will post a detailed breakdown on all the songs and how people voted.
If you want to listen to the winning songs, you can find them below:

As a note for transparency, two songs tied for first place in the English category. However, when looking at the individual survey results, at least one of the submissions seemed to be a duplicate. If we took that into account when calculating the results, we got a clear winner for the English category and no change in the relative scores for the French category.
For those unfamiliar, please see this post: https://lemmy.ca/post/40262691
In total we received 20 nominations for the English category, 5 for the French category, and 1 for the Inuk category. We will be submitting 3 songs, one from each category.
Voting will be open from now until March 30th, 11:59 PM Pacific Time.
You can rank up to 5 songs in each category:
- The top song you select will receive 5 points
- The second song will receive 4 points
- The third song will receive 3 points
- The fourth song will receive 2 points
- The fifth song will receive 1 point
It is possible to select less than 5 songs, but the remaining points will not be applied to anything.

I saw this article earlier:
Tesla 'going bankrupt' is endpoint of protests, says local organizer
In the spirit of right to repair, self-hosting, giving a second life to old devices, and limiting data collection by car companies:
- What are some considerations?
- Are there any projects worth keeping an eye on?
An example that came to mind was Valetudo, which is a cloud replacement for vacuum robots enabling local-only operation. Some robot vacuums are easy to install this on, and others require more invasive modifications.

Answering the question:
Different groups or different people may choose to use different acronyms. The downvotes are likely from the implication that this is an annual change or 'flavour'.
Here is a discussion about this (as well other variations in terminology for ethnicity, homeless/unhoused, and more) from a UManitoba linguistics professor: https://theconversation.com/bipoc-or-ibpoc-lgbtq-or-lgbtq2s-who-decides-which-terms-we-should-use-159188
