Creepy story! Do you still have the recording?!

Mamma mia!

Honestly, I can’t give you the info you need as I haven’t lived in Alberta… But it does have a reputation for being the most right wing Christian part of Canada, so compared to Oregon I’d say it might be a downgrade

Corruption here (Canada) still happens federally and especially at the provincial level (like Doug Ford, which has many blatant examples and faces no consequences). Municipally (county level) I have not noticed as much, and my municipality seems to have a great local government that functions well… I’ve even spoken up and had a small issue resolved with little effort.

However I think you’ll find if that kinda stuff grinds your gears you’ll still have a better time in Canada than the US, despite the problems (and we do have problems).

As an Ontarian I also gotta say the bit about the premiers is also spot on.

Lol apparently having AC in your car is a privilege and not a basic feature… It’s 2023 and it’s just getting hotter, I want AC sorry

At a similar pay scale, I’ve been required to go into homes where folks had COVID. Coworkers have been shot at. I’ve seen things I really would have preferred not to. No job is perfectly sane in that sense.

American? Because this is not normal up here in Canada.

FWIW the Canadian supreme court made piracy laws unenforceable on purpose, so you also don’t need a VPN in Canada.

Bro yeah that’s true but like women couldn’t even vote till recently damn

Thanks lol I struggled with how to format this link

https://kbin.social/m/genart -> it’s a community for sharing and discussing generative art!

Interesting I hadn’t seen that. Do you have a source I could check out? There’s six authors so it’d help figure out what you’re referring to

Afaik they did build it in real life, and the paper in fact is about the process for manufacturing it, not just about the properties or simulations.

People have replicated the simulations so far, but are still working on replicating the manufacturing process, as it has low yeild and some variability apparently

My understanding (limited) is yes. If you want quantum secure cryptography you need to use specific algorithms designed for it.

If AI gets to the point where it can truly replicate anything, even so it won’t be the end of human creativity, so I expect humans will still be making new things and new forms of art.

Spot on! Actually people still talk about hands but it’s already been solved with many newer image gen models… The hands they produce look perfectly fine usually these days.

While I agree it sucks remember it’s not over til it’s over! They want us to feel despair, it helps their plans the less we resist.

Lol! It also took me forever to notice it, it was driving me crazy and I just started thinking there must be a better way lol

If you press the hamburger menu button at the top it opens a sidebar that has a subscribe button as well!

My recommendation (assuming you have a normal @gmail addy and not a custom domain like I had) would be to use email forwarding. So you can leave your Gmail as is, but set it up (in the settings) to automatically forward all your email to your new protonmail address. Then you can gradually change the important contacts/sites to your new email at your leisure.

I do highly recommend buying a domain and setting up your own email address though, it gives you a lot more portability going forward. You can actually do a lot with your own domain, and it helps you maintain trust better.

Anyway, enough preaching lol, protonmail also maintains a guide to help people switch: https://proton.me/easyswitch
