In a bid to not pay news outlets, #Meta has blocked #TheBeaverton, a satirical "fake news" website. Basically, a Canadian version of #theonion.
Honestly, #TheBeaverton really shouldn't be blocked, might as well block comedians off the platform if The Beaverton was blocked.
They should also consider jumping on to the #fediverse.

In a bid to improve #SEO ranking on #Google, tech site #CNET has been found pruning old content off the Internet.
Considering the site is over 28 years old, suddenly a lot of Internet history was effectively wiped off leaving sites like archive.org to save copies of them.

Really not a fan of Hyundai's recent design language.
Hyundai just unveiled their new Santa Fe crossover SUV & in these photos, it kinda looks like the car's exterior had a pixelated glitch (similar to what's found in Wreck-it-Ralph).
I'm sure I'll need to see it in person but not liking this look based on the photos...

nostr:npub1yf6wnvk9gjw49fsddscpxc7asrg07xs957xt3exy4p86jp5jvfasgk2dzx I think we all know the answer is yes. There seems to be a severe case of #fediverse allergy with major Canadian media publications...
Welp, with #Facebook ending the ability to share news because of Bill C-18, I guess for Canadians, Facebook is only good for sharing memes, snooping on people & Marketplace?

Not sure why people would think #AppleMusic catching up on a feature would "kill" Spotify?

Paving the #Greenbelt has always been about benefiting the Developers who supported the Premier. Any potential benefit for #Ontarians has always been just a side-effect.

Love the new #Spiderman #AcrosstheSpiderverse #movie but hate when studios abruptly end the movie because they gotta milk it by making a part 2.
It was getting good, and then it ends, like seriously, wtf? It sets up the premise, had good jokes, it builds and then it just ends...
Lol so true...

#Verizon to shut down #Bluejeans, a web conferencing service it purchased in 2020 for US$400 million.
Not sure why they don't try to spin it off and let it go independent, guess no one else wants to own it?

Several American banks were collectively fined US$549 million for breaching the bookkeeping rules in the 1934 Securities Exchange Act & the 1940 Investment Advisor Act.
The banks implicated admitted that they were unable to produce discussions about company business due to their employees' use of encrypted messaging apps like #Signal, #iMessage & #whatsapp.

Honestly, unless you are a professional user, paying the premium for a #PCIe Gen 5 #NVMe #SSD doesn't really make sense.
If you're a gamer and/or someone who doesn't move large files often, save your money & stick to Gen 4 drives for now. Gen 4 drives still provide excellent performance. You can always consider an upgrade down the road when the price premium comes down.

Interesting take on the issue of housing in Canada.
This author argues that there is no housing crisis & that housing inequality has been happening for over a century. The author goes on to argue that by latching on to the "supply side theory", the only people who really benefit are the landlords & developers as rents have no correlation to the cost.
Personally, I still think more needs to be done to solve the skyrocketing rent, it's crazy.

#Zootopia was a great movie, not only because of the themes and the sloth scene but the amount of puns lol.

I really don't get why people do that to each other, it's a volunteer service. Admins are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts & on their spare time.
We as the userbase should be kind to one another & thank the team that runs your instance.
If you want something or report an issue, do so politely, it will be fixed, you won't die if it's dead. Shit happens.
As for the full text search issue, if your instance doesn't have it, move to another one that does, don't threaten ppl.
