That misinformation is amplified by an AI-powered chatbot named "Canadian Civic Advisor".

I'm going to take note of that example. Next time I hear someone says AI chatbots could potentially help fight climate change, I'll be able to show that today they actually aggravate climate change.

I setup brave on my relative's iOS device because it has anti-tracking builtin. But would welcome suggestions of iOS browsers that preserve privacy.

If Apple didn't effectively prevent browser extensions I would setup Firefox with privacy badger, and uBlock origin with an anti-malware list.

Lab grown meat may increase emissions:

Lab-Grown Meat’s Carbon Footprint Potentially Worse Than Retail Beef

It shouldn't be produced on mass scale unless we're confident it would decrease emissions.

Meanwhile it's better to promote vegarian or flexitarian diets as less carbon-intensive and more ethical options.

The post's title match neither the headline nor the article.

If you'd like to share your analysis I'd suggest adding text to the post or a comment as it's a good way to add one's analysis. But please avoid replacing headlines, this is a bit misleading.

Today, some French chefs and residents are reviving wartime staples like country bread

For as far as I remember, bakeries in my area sold country bread. It's not quite a comeback since it never disappeared.

Not using Kickstarter is perfectly fine. Definitely avoid Kickstarter if you want a guarantee of delivery.

Mozilla announced Pocket is retiring on July 8th, 2025.

This Week in F-Droid lists multiples Pocket alternatives that have FOSS Android apps available in F-Droid.

Do you use any Pocket alternative on Android?

I haven't found one yet that check all my boxes, and would welcome recommandation. My ideal app is:

  • FOSS
  • Able to read aloud articles (text to speech integration)
  • Local first (no/optional server), or support a standard server protocol (eg webdav)

Wallabag seems to be FOSS and able to read aloud. But it require a server and doesn't support a standard storage protocol (eg Webdav). I'd like to keep my data private without having to maintain yet another server software installation.

How does one report spam received from another user in private messages?

The screenshot shows the user is registered at Lemmy.cat. I received those messages twice, each time from a different user/instance mentionning the "fediverse chick", and it's coming out of the blue from someone I don't know.

I already blocked the user. But it's not clear if blocking also act as report mechanism.
