You can tell that it’s an aspen tree because of the way it is

What about search engines? These provide links as well.

And what about this link from OP, should Lemmy world have to pay for OP posting a link to this news article.

Could you imagine if a telephone book had to pay you or your business to list your business phone number.

Just a FYI, Canadian news agencies wanted social platforms like Facebook to pay for linking to their news articles.

The argument from Canadian news agencies was that by social platforms sharing links on their social platforms, social platforms were directly increasing their sites user traffic and benefiting with increased ad revenue. News agencies argued this decreased their own ad revenue by decrease site traffic.

Most people know a link directs a individual to the original site of the content. Since Facebook and other social sites did not want to pay a link fee they simply had chosen to remove links to Canadian news sites (as requested)

By removing links to these sites on social platforms like Facebook, news agencies decreased their surface area of exposure. Thus news agencies decreased the amount of individuals being directed to their site and news articles.

Simply put, Canadian news agencies wanted their cake and eat it too.

Now search engine like Google search for example were exempt from this mandate because they only link to the article or external site. The irony in this is real.

Obviously sites like Facebook “condensing a news article automatically” and presenting it on their own site, without a user needing to navigate away from Facebook as a example is a different issue and a valid point.

Though please be aware, generally when a link shows up on Facebook and gets formatted with a picture and a paragraph underneath it. This feature is controlled directly by the external sites integration with Facebook or social platform, and they can choose how much of the link is condensed or shown.

Also please note, some of the “Canadian news agencies” that were lobbying for this to pass are actually USA owned, and masquerading as Canadian.

Maricopa County Attorney rules there is enough evidence to lay charges on the victim. However the victim had not show up to their scheduled court date, allegedly detained by ICE in the lobby of the court, on the day of the hearing. /s

ICE is also secretly invited to the dinner. The dinner is also McNuggets

Maybe location tracking from Google maps giving a date when the car was driven and where, with a simple excel of distances calculated and tallied up for a given month or two.

If the owner had a photo of the dash with the distance reported a few months earlier start there to see if the report distance matches what the excel table totals up.

Quillpad might be of interest.

It also syncs with nextcloud

Sugar free and not imported 👊🇺🇸🐻

You can integrate OwnTracks with NextCloud. OwnCloud app sends data to your NextCloud instance and you can see location of friends.

This ones a little more challenging to setup, be aware you need to selfhost with a public address. Or personal VPN to your home with Tailscale or Wireguard.

HomeAssistant, it has a “companion app” for android and ios. Once the app is installed on everyone’s phone you can see real time the device location.

American power! Made in Canada 👊🇨🇦⚡

So if a American needs access to a embassy while traveling what are they to do?

I always thought embassys are equally important for Americans traveling abroad and potentially people looking to immigrate.

SkyNet is fully operational, operating at 60 teraflops.

The Orvil did a episode on that where they found a two dimensional universe with life in it. The bad part, three dimensional life cannot exist in two dimensions with a digestive track, it gets split into two parts.

I can’t imagine a forth, fifth, or sixth dimension or how a three dimensional being could survive it.

It was a little bit on purpose TBH, it leaves some room for though, and broadens the scope or definition of alien life.

We already know organic compounds can survive in space on astroids and comets, and we know these compounds can survive impact with planetary bodies.

What’s to say these same comets have not impacted other planetary bodies in our galaxy, or have traveled between galaxies in our Universe.

Timescales would make it impossible to know if two species on two planetary bodies would evolve at the same time.

Well put, this was my training of thought as well.

As a analogy, our body is the Universe. Our fingernails (the moon) do not experience themselves or have any awareness of their own existence. Our mind (a living thing) knows and experiences our fingernails and is aware of its own existence.
