Sorry, I don't.

I saw some documentary that suggested that they used to chip straight through fossilized feathers and skin to get to the bones because they didn't realise what they were.

How does it work for you?

Firefighter here. Brush and gently vacuum your smoke detector. Insects are attracted to the LED and can set off the alarm. They may be very small. Dust can also set it off.

Hi there. We all have ups and downs in life, but sometimes the downs can feel really down or can feel like they will never end. Take heart though, things can and do get better. If you are having thoughts about taking your own life, know that there are people who care, and are there to help you. Reach out to someone if you need to.

I believe this is a thing in Quebec.

from https://culturalatlas.sbs.com.au/canadian-culture/canadian-culture-naming


In Quebec, the Civil Code requires parents to assign their child only one surname (either a single or compound surname) derived from their respective surnames. Compound surnames may not have more than two parts, with or without hyphens. Thus, a couple named Joseph BOUCHARD-TREMBLAY and Marie DION-ROY could give their children the surnames:

  • BOUCHARD
  • TREMBLAY
  • DION
  • ROY
  • BOUCHARD-TREMBLAY
  • DION-ROY
  • BOUCHARD-DION
  • BOUCHARD-ROY, and so on.

In Quebec, the law provides that spouses retain their respective birth names when they are married.

There have been many varieties other than that one. We must be getting to them before you see them, which is good.

I thought I'd give a quick update on the efforts to combat the spam wave.

Clearly someone wants to make Lemmy a less appealing place to be. It's a deliberate attempt to spoil the good thing that we have going here. l'll leave it up to you to contemplate the motives and timing of this attack on the fediverse.

So what are the Mods doing, and what can you do to help?

The most obvious one is that we are deleting the spam as soon as it is seen. We are checking more often, but as volunteers we can't be on Lemmy 24/7. We also have some automated checking going on. This is working fairly well, but occasionally some legitimate posts are being removed. These get restored eventually, but sometimes it can take a while for this to be actioned. If this happens to you, please be patient.

As users, we can help out by reporting spam posts and by posting quality content. Contributing to our community is the best way to make sure that it remains a safe, interesting and thought-provoking place.

Continue to contribute meaningful content too. :)

I'm talking about the things that make you really excited.

We are part-way there. Some basic controls have been implemented. I don't want to get too specific as then they can set out to circumvent them. It shouldn't affect most genuine community members overly much.

We've implemented some basic controls to hopefully catch CSAM material earlier. As with any such control, occasionally there might be false positives. Unfortunately that's the price we pay....

[-] Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago

Might be worth mentioning on !fediverse@lemmy.world

We have temporarily locked posting on AskLemmy until the CSAM posting stops.

Hi OP. I'm sorry that you were exposed to CP. Thankfully I didn't see it before it was purged, but I'm sure it was distressing, especially for someone who was a victim.

I feel that you post is important, but this is not really the appropriate community to raise it. Can you please re-post in support@Lemmy.world?
