I've never used beeper, but I've been using Ferdium for years I have all in one app:

  • WhatsApp
  • Hangouts
  • Discord
  • Element (Matrix)
  • Nextcloud Chat
  • Lemmy

Before you ask, the creators were threatened into oblivion. You MIGHT be able to find an installer out there somewhere.

You mean a desktop application? If so you can use the web version, or even better, use Ferdium. It lets you connect to various messaging services and integrates them like a native desktop app.

This was a local instance.

I asked it about Tiananmen Square, it told me it can't answer that because it can only respond with "harmless" responses.

A few years ago I switched the mail provider for the company I work for from a small MSP provider over to Google Workspace. The reason is my boss' inbox had an average of 5k+ of spam daily. He even had to abandon one of his email addresses at one point. After switching over to Google that number went to a more manageable few dozen daily.

It's absolutely a massive problem.

If you get 100 spam emails a day, then without those protections that have been put into place that number would be in the 100s of thousands at best.

Canadian Tire has a habit of asking for all my personal details when I return an item (still in box, unopened. WITH the receipt). I politely tell them it's never going to happen, and that my personal info is protected by Canadian privacy laws. They usually just nod and do the return.

Ukrainian devs are top notch, to be fair. Outsourcing to there is not an issue.

The last we ever saw of Luke Skywalker was in Mandolarian. We know nothing of Luke's story after that.

 

These guys did everything wrong, and one of them nearly died in the process. Thankfully he walked away just fine.

I'm sure we all know about the low audience scores given to The Acolyte. Rotten Tomatoes was sitting down at 14% since around the third episode, and was that low up until at least the last episode. Now that it's nearly a week out from the season finale, I figured I'd take another look.

The Rotten Tomatoes score has gone up to 17% and other review platforms have gone up a bit also.

So I decided to read through a few of the recent ones. Here are two examples:

Screenshot 2

The showrunners accuse fans of "review bombing" but are apparently just fine with artificial review boosting. I saw a bunch of these double reviews and nearly every single one talked about things like diversity, a "fresh take", production values, etc, all in that typical bland corporate-speech type of language.

Whereas the negative reviews are detailed and specific without ever getting into racism, bigotry, sexism, or other things fans are often accused of. If you read through the negative reviews they are often well thought out criticisms of the story itself and the quality of acting.

I just wanted to bring this fake review boosting to the community's attention. If you enjoyed the show, that's awesome. But it's dishonest to dilute honest and fair criticisms of a show.

Poisoned Pepper Plants? (self.plantclinic)

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some input on my pepper plants. Last year all my vegetable plants were explosive in growth and produce. This year they've been a bit stressed by the early heat we've had (southern Ontario) but otherwise doing well. Everything from cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, garlic, and onions are doing well.

My pepper plants, on the other hand, look terrible.

Initially I thought they were just extremely stressed from the heat, but I noticed a few of them (not pictured) are doing fine. What clicked in my head today is that the ones that are doing ok I grew from seed, and the rest are from garden centres (a semi-private one and a commercial one).

From my zero-level knowledge and subsequent Googling the answer is:

  • Too much heat
  • Too much water
  • Too little water
  • Exposure to herbicide

It's the last one that really raised my eyebrows, and seems to fit based on photos.

Anyone have any insight on this? Thanks in advance.
