Welcome 🍁


Lemmy.ca is run by Canadians, hosted in Canada, and geared toward Canadians. However, it is not restricted to Canadians, or Canadian culture/topics/etc. All are welcome!

To learn more about what Lemmy is, or how the Fediverse works, you can visit our simple Getting Started Guide.

This site is run by the non-profit Fedecan and funded entirely by user donations. You can help support us by visiting our donations page.


Rules and Guidelines

1. No BigotryIncluding racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

2. Be CivilArgue in good faith, attack the argument; not the person, and promote a healthy debate. That includes implying violence, threats or wishes of violence and/or death.

3. No PornThis instance is not made to host porn communities. You're free to access porn communities on other instances through your account, but be mindful of Rule 4.

4. Use the NSFW tagUse your common sense: if you wouldn't want this image to show up on your work computer, tag it as such. In comments, use the
spoiler ::: tag for NSFW images, and put a NSFW mention beside links. Do not use NSFW images as your avatar or banner. :::
5. No Ads / SpamThis instance is not there to act as your billboard. If you want to promote your personal work, at least make the effort to be a contributing member of this community. Your account purpose shouldn't be to only advertise, make it natural.

6. Bot accountIf you are the operator of a "bot" account, make sure to flag is as such in the account's settings.

7. Right to privacyDo NOT distribute the personal information of someone else without their consent (aka doxxing). Information that is public domain can be shared, provided it is in good faith.
ex: The official email of an elected official is fair, the private phone number or the real name of a non-public person is NOT.

8. Report abuseThe report function isn't labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesn't mean what the person says is against the rules. Using it repeately in this fashion will lead to actions being taken against the reporter.

9. ImpersonationDon't make an account with the intent to negatively deceive or defame someone on the fediverse.
ex: Parody of a famous person is okay, submitting outrageous content as appearing like another user, mod or admin isn't.

This is my testimony of how Jesus delivered me from a witch in the church who tried to sacrifice me. I am living proof that there is no greater power than the power that is in Jesus Christ. He is still a miracle worker and I am living proof. I hope my testimony encourages you to trust God no matter the situation. 🙏🏽 #christiantestimony #testimony #christianity #deliverance

Hi guys has anyone noticed daily downtime with bookwormstory.social instance?

I saw on https://status.bookwormstory.social/ that the old reddit ui may have issues however I also noticed issues on the main web ui and when using third party clients (voyeger and alexandrite).

On other instances like lemmy.world I can see text but images fail to load (not sure if its running on cache).

Just curious is this due to lemmy update maintenance (hope I don't sound rude).

If you find a Finnish product or deal with a Finnish company that displays the avainlippu - Finnish for Key Flag - go for it: it'll be more expensive upfront but you'll get more than your money's worth.

Tehty suomessa - Avainlippu

Unlike other BS Made in Somewhere signs, the avainlippu really does mean quality: the Finns who display it really are proud of the products and services they offer. I can personally testify to this.

If you buy a product with the little flag affixed to it, it will be made better and last longer. Even if it's not obvious rightaway, one day years later you'll realize that thing you bought years ago that you're taking for granted is still around and still doing what it's supposed to do just fine after years of use and abuse.

Announcement of My Nintendo Gold Point Discontinuation 18/02/2025

Thank you very much for your continued support of our products.

On March 25th, 2025, the ability to earn Gold Points will end. Gold Points already earned can still be used on Nintendo eShop to receive a discount, even after this end date.

We sincerely thank you for using the My Nintendo rewards programme, and apologise for any inconvenience. What does this mean for you? Earning Gold Points from digital purchases and download codes

From March 25th, 2025, customers will no longer earn Gold Points when making digital purchases from Nintendo eShop and the official Nintendo website, or by redeeming download codes. Earning Gold Points from pre-orders of digital titles

Pre-orders for digital titles from Nintendo eShop or the official Nintendo website made up to and including March 24th, 2025, will still earn Gold Points regardless of the game’s release date, even if the payment is processed after March 24th. Gold Points earned from such a pre-order will be granted to the customer’s Nintendo Account within 24 hours of a) the payment being processed and b) an email with the subject “Thank you for your Nintendo eShop purchase” being sent to their registered email address.

If the customer cancels such a pre-order before the payment has been processed, or if the payment process doesn’t go through for customer-related reasons (such as insufficient funds or an expired credit card set for payment), Gold Points will not be granted, even if the same title is pre-ordered again or purchased by the customer at a later date.

Please note that pre-orders for digital games placed with My Nintendo Store or external retailers are fulfilled as download codes. As such, and as explained above, these pre-orders will not earn Gold Points from March 25th. Earning Gold Points from physical Nintendo Switch Game Cards

Gold Points can still be earned by registering physical Game Cards from the HOME Menu of a Nintendo Switch console, as long as the title has been released by March 24th, 2025. If a title is released after that date, Gold Points cannot be earned. The original release date of a title is defined by the information shown on Nintendo eShop. Gold Points can be earned from registering a Game Card for a period of two years from a title’s original release date in Europe and South Africa (and for one year in other countries).

Any previous commitment by Nintendo of Europe SE to grant Gold Points outside of the methods described above will still be fulfilled. Additionally, customers may also be granted Gold Points for exceptional reasons at Nintendo’s discretion, even after March 24th, 2025. Spending your existing Gold Points

Gold Points are valid for 12 months from the date of being earned, expiring at the end of a calendar month. Gold Points earned by customers up to and including March 24th can be used to get a discount on Nintendo eShop purchases until they expire, even after the distribution of Gold Points has ended.

The Philippine Coast Guard condemned "dangerous" manoeuvres by a Chinese Navy helicopter Tuesday as it flew within three metres (10 feet) of a surveillance flight carrying a group of journalists over the contested Scarborough Shoal.

An AFP photographer on the flight described seeing the helicopter tail the plane before drawing near the left wing, close enough to see personnel aboard filming them.

The helicopter had been "as close as three metres" to the fisheries bureau aircraft, the coast guard said in a statement. The plane had been flying about 213 metres above the water on a mission to observe Chinese vessels in the area.

"Around 0839 hours, a People's Liberation Army Navy (PLA-Navy) helicopter ... performed dangerous flight maneuvers towards the BFAR aircraft. This reckless action posed a serious risk to the safety of the pilots and passengers during the MDA flight," the coast guard statement said.

The Scarborough Shoal -- a triangular chain of reefs and rocks in the South China Sea -- has been a flashpoint between the countries since China seized it from the Philippines in 2012.

...

In December, the Philippines said the Chinese coast guard fired water cannon and "sideswiped" a government fisheries department vessel.

Manila released a video appearing to show a Chinese coast guard ship firing a torrent of water at the BRP Datu Pagbuaya.

Other footage apparently taken from the Philippine ship showed its crew shouting "Collision! Collision!" as the much larger Chinese vessel nears its right-hand side before crashing into it.
