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

I think it’s a mix of the two. There are legitimate reasons, and commercial reasons
Synology does not manufacture its own hard drives but instead certifies and rebrands drives from Toshiba and Seagate, leaving out only Western Digital among the world’s largest manufacturers.
They’re disabling features
Synology, maker of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, will seemingly remove advanced features from its Plus devices that are not using hard drives provided by, or certified by, Synology itself, starting with its 2025 lineup.
What you might lose from using non-Synology-approved hard drives could include pool creation and support for any issues. De-duplication, lifespan analysis, and automatic HDD firmware updates could also disappear on non-approved drives, Synology’s press release suggests.
What is the 48.4% for Reddit, since it isn’t decentralized at all?
I shouldn’t laugh, poor little dude 😄
Looks great, feel free to promote on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca as well!
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
Tagging @Whitebrow@lemmy.world as well since they had a related question
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.

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?
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
Thanks! Made a comment here
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

If it’s a public list, feel free to share it on !buycanadian@lemmy.ca :)
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
While it’s still somewhat of a blackbox, some definitions of “open source AI” are better than others
The OSI one is decent
The format of the post also looked similar to spam posts at first glance. A lot of them are pushing AI things
While this won’t be the case with everyone, it was mentioned a few times in a post I made here a long while back
I’m a woman, and make no attempt to hide that fact in my posts. That said, I also don’t personally have much interest in talking about being a woman, so don’t sub to any of those places you linked.
Over on Reddit I just sort of let people assume I was male a lot of the time, since it wasn’t really relevant to what we were talking about. But from the start on Lemmy I’ve made sure to call out incorrect assumptions, downvote and give a talking to people stereotyping or being misogynistic, etc etc. And the more of us (of all genders) that make that same decision, the better things get
Thanks! Bitswap made the post, so we should be good to go now
