  • Eaten alive by mosquitoes and blackflies, which do well even with grass. As someone who also lived in an area like that (Ottawa) I was amazing when I moved across the river to Gatineau where they let their green spaces be wild and was amazed I was biking along the same river at the same time of year and there were very few bugs.

    Naturalized ecosystems allow predators of mosquitoes and flies to thrive and control their numbers.












  • “Why the internet isn’t fun anymore” - proceeds to talk about Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.

    Completely fails to mention any fediverse sites, or any of the millions of other sites out there.

    If you’re the author, the internet isn’t fun anymore because you don’t use it. You visit the corporate websites only. You either never learned how to use the internet, or you’re not interested in actually trying.

    Its like the person who never leaves their neighborhood and complains that life is boring.


  • This. I’m glad they are getting rid of the sham of a kids client. It’s a joke that anyone should think the content is kid safe. No more lulling parents into a false sense of security.

    I was supervising my son watch this one day and had to step away for a few minutes to answer the door. When I was gone a new video came on with Peppa Pig murdering her family and all the characters from the show. Actually bleeding and all.

    I reported the video, didn’t get taken off the kids platform. So I contacted support - they said it was kid safe.

    Kid safe?! Dafuq? I had his account set to under 6 and this is what they consider kid safe?


  • I think it depends on personal preference and what kind of user you are.

    If you are going to engage in trolling and just being the kind of person someone wouldn’t want to hire its probably best to hide your identify.

    Likewise of you just want to keep it a secret.

    My identity has been out there on the internet for a long time. Ran a web community, work in IT. I might delve into grayer topics on social media than on LinkedIn, but I try to check myself and ensure I’m considering others and my behavior before allowing myself to just pump raw emotion into comments.

    Not going to claim to be 100% successful at either of those but hey I try.

    I limit what information is shared about me as much as I can afford to given the nature of the industry I work in.
