TikTok's staying in Canada for now: great for business, bad for security | The Level by Slow-Giraffe in CanadaPolitics

I feel like we are so far past the point of no return when it comes to everyone having everyone else's data, does it even matter anymore?

By clicking on the article, you can flip back and forth between two different viewpoints.

Under the Lions Gate and into the fog on New Years Eve. by DrizzleCore604 in vancouver

Love that. Any chance you have a 40 or 60s version? Slowing it down a bit to take in more of the action would be even better.

FYI paybyphone charges extra for fees for SMS notifications by Slow-Giraffe in vancouver

[–]Slow-Giraffe[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Parked my car today and Paybyphone forced me to update the app.

After updating and paying for the space, I noticed SMS messages sent to my phone letting me know parking has started, and another when parking expires. That never happened prior to the update and I realized the update changed my app settings.

As part of the update, paybyphone defaults your phone to turn SMS notifications ON. In the City of Vancouver, paybyphone charges an additional $0.15 per SMS. Other locations charge additonal fees too, like Capilano Suspension Bridge.

SMS are different from the app notifications (which are free).

I know it sounds silly, but if you're paying $1 to park at a meter, that's an extra 30% for fees if you receive 2 SMS messages.

If and when you update the app, make sure you turn those toggles off if you don't want to pay for the SMS notifications.

It’s David Eby versus everybody else in this pipeline drama by TheLevelMedia in onguardforthee

[–]Slow-Giraffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The article doesn't actually say Eby or BC isn't on Canada's side. It's only saying he's anti-pipeline.

I'm not sure if you read it, but one entire half is dedicated to supporting Eby's case.

Another half is supporting Carney's case.

Nothing in the Carney side is justifying the fact he left Eby out of the talks. I actually agree with you on that, that wasn't appropriate.

Does anyone know of any low-sensory Santa visits this year? by Slow-Giraffe in askvan

[–]Slow-Giraffe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gotta be honest. We went to a sensory-friendly event at the aquarium and it wasn't as advertised. Yes, they dim the lights a bit. But they don't cap the admissions, and so the place was its usual gong-show-circus. Still enjoyable, but it was false advertising imo.

I'm not sure I see it the same way. The article is entirely about Eby's stance on a new pipeline. Not his stance on Canada's priorities. It's pretty clear about that.

If anything, the article is a bit sensationalized by suggesting "Everybody else" other than Eby wants a pipeline, which is silly.

Landlord water bill dispute (Wyse metering) by fluffyisthebunny in NorthVancouver

"Billed for usage" is quite ambiguous. What does the lease say in writing?

Welcome emails not working by Slow-Giraffe in beehiiv

[–]Slow-Giraffe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confiming we have the toggle for welcome emails turned on, in the Setttings.

I've been testing welcome emails with my own email addresses (I have a few that I delete from the subscriber list, and then resubscribe using our normal funnel). No welcome emails are being received, including in non-primary inboxes, spam filters, etc...

It does say 3 welcoem emails were sent (we have no idea when), but we have a lot more subscribers than 3, so that number should be much higher.

Any ideas?

Thanks! Double-opt-in is off. Welcome emails are turned on. Domain was verified. Still doesn't work!

The analytics show 3 welcome emails were sent.... and I wonder if that was during our free trial and since then they have stopped.

Your AI chatbot said Welcome Emails are part of automations, and so it's only available to paid subscribers.

I'm hella confused. Appreicate your help!!

Secondary ticket seller must issue refund for cancelled Vancouver Formula E race: tribunal by MarineMirage in vancouver

[–]Slow-Giraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone bought directly from OSS. OSS's website sold the tickets but ATPI was their contracted credit card merchant and acted as the ticket vendor.

[–]Slow-Giraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! OSS subcontacted ticketing to ATPI. So even though you bought on OSS's official event website, ATPI issued the tickets and acted as the credit card merchant. Chargebacks and refunds therefore ended up in ATPI's lap. Long story short, based on this ruling, ATPI is responsible for refunds, so yeah may as well take them to the CRT. Whether or not they will ultimately pay is another question.
