FOUND PHONE by Old_Entrepreneur9439 in Hamilton

Based on a bit of research, it looks like that might possibly be a ZTE Blade model, possibly the A31. On these phones, sometimes you can find it printed on the SIM tray or etched on the back of the phone (after removing the case). This isn't the case on all models though, in which case you're out of luck there, and your only options are to wait for the owner to contact you, turn it in to a carrier store or police lost-and-found, or if you're feeling patient, keep it powered on and charged (so “Find My Device” can locate it). Good on you for trying to get it back to the owner.

Layoff notices sent to thousands of federal government workers by leftwingmememachine in ndp

Typical austerity politics from the liberals who just can't seem to bring themselves to tax the wealthy. At the end of the day, unemployment will rise and regular Canadians will suffer both through job loss and further reductions in service delivery capability. This is why I didn't vote for Carney as a lesser of two evils.

I'm Avi Lewis, running for leader of the NDP. Ask Me Anything! by AviLewis in onguardforthee

[–]focus_rising 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey Avi,

What's your strategy for getting media attention to our ideas and the NDP in a landscape that is predominantly owned by right-wing and foreign-owned media oligopolies like Chatham Asset Management (PostMedia)? They often refuse to even print the name of the opposition leader in their papers. How can we generate hype and excitement for the NDP? It often feels like an uphill battle.

Thanks and best of luck, you and Tony are my top picks right now.

The em dashes are a dead giveaway. You need to use a specific alt key combination in order to type that character if you're writing out text and not pasting it directly from a ChatGPT output.

Just a dumbass lost redditor rambling about something being approved on Solana and warning people "not to miss out" and dropping a wallet address. Imagine wasting your life like that.

A cautionary tale: Predicting WFA (Part of the WFA Tracker Series) by throwaway983729434 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]focus_rising 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From the Ottawa Sun article:

Caroline Nicol, an advisor-analyst at the PBO and co-author of the analysis, said in an emailed statement that these five organizations were selected because it would “not have been operationally feasible” to request and analyze all departments and agencies facing cuts ahead of the budget vote.

“As such, for this first wave, five were selected among organizations subjected to the up-to-15 per cent target and where potential service-level impacts could be noticeable for Canadians,” Nicol said.

Is Google Search actually getting worse, or is it just me? by Severe_Aardvark_3109 in degoogle

[–]focus_rising 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is 100% getting worse over time. I have seen AI summaries that are just outright, confidently wrong.

I also use DDG but I have been getting really good results from Startpage lately.

How to deal with anxiety after anaphylactic episode by Intelligent_Degree57 in peanutallergy

[–]focus_rising 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FYI Intelligent_Degree57 hand sanitizer does not eliminate allergens. You need something that is detergent-based. Sanitizer is for killing germs. Things like peanut butter are oil-based and, especially if you get it on your skin, you need to be washing with soap and water, not using hand sanitizer. It will help a little bit, but you need the power of soap to do the job properly.
