- Comment on Russia’s Birth Rate Plunges to 200-Year Low 1 week ago:
The decline was even steeper in February alone, with births falling 7.6% year-over-year to 90,500 — 7,400 fewer than in the same month last year.
Nearly have of the drop can be explained by the fact it was a leap year in 2024
- Comment on Americans Are Preparing for When All Hell Breaks Loose 2 weeks ago:
I’m left in Canada which is the US equivalent of a more left leaning Bernie Sanders. I’m a veteran, I have a rifle, and I support increased gun controls. Granted my rifle is hot pink so it’s not exactly combat ready.

Facebook (Meta) owns WhatsApp. I don’t use WhatsApp and it’s a hassle because it’s popular here so having the ability to send messages to WhatsApp without having a WhatsApp account or app would be useful.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
The same could be said for sending emails to a Gmail account. You won’t be forced to send messages to WhatsApp but you’d have the option. WhatsApp is popular where I live so having the ability to send messages to a WhatsApp account would be useful for me as I refuse to install or use any facebook apps.

I’m English born, grew up in Australia, and I am now a naturalized Canadian. If someone said they were British I wouldn’t think they were referring to ethnicity. The US has a unique and unhealthy perspective on ethnicity and race. I hope that a naturalized immigrant to the UK would consider themselves British.

He actually got a job in the hospital! He was in the right place at the right time and while he doesn’t technically have the credentials because he didn’t study medicine, he’s going to learn on the job. He’s now their Chief Anesthetist

This post has about as much context as a map drawn by a blindfolded pirate. What is this all about?
- Comment on Like Trump says that the cartels have invaded Canada wouldn't they have to pass through the US, avoid checkpoint, border control on both sides and many other things? So Canada can only blame the US? 1 month ago:
That’s way too logical for a Donald rant

- Comment on Donald Trump Is a Gift to Canada’s Liberal Party 1 month ago:
This is strange narrow framing. Trump is terrible for the US, Canada, their allies, and every other country. Poilivere using the same rhetoric as fascists is not a gift to any Canadian.

- Comment on which softwares can I self host without public IP? 1 month ago:
I haven’t checked the ToS in a while but last I checked it was 50mb upload limit for the free tier and a loosely policed no video streaming. I served over 8 million requests through the free tier last month.

Use Cloudflare’s free tier tunnel
- Comment on The Generative AI Con. 1 month ago:
I agree and I think this comes back to execution of the technology as opposed to the technology itself. For context, I work as an ML engineer and I’ve been concerned with bias in AI long before ChatGPT. I’m interested in other folks perspectives on this technology. The hype and spin from tech companies is a frustrating distraction from the real benefits and risks of AI.
- Comment on The Generative AI Con. 1 month ago:
But I don’t think it’s the best option if you consider everyone involved.
Can you expand on this? Do you mean from an environmental perspective because of the resource usage, social perspective because of jobs losses, and / or other groups being disadvantaged because of limited access to these tools?
