I looked for a photo of a sea otter with fruit, but all I got was AI slop. So here is one enjoying some crunchy

Apparently it is both

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit

In common language and culinary usage, fruit normally means the seed-associated fleshy structures (or produce) of plants that are typically sweet (or sour) and edible in the raw state, such as apples, bananas, grapes, lemons, oranges, and strawberries. In botanical usage, the term fruit includes many structures that are not commonly called as such in everyday language, such as nuts, bean pods, corn kernels, tomatoes, and wheat grains.

These are strange times for Fruit club. Strange times…

The mayor of Bordeaux has said he is bracing for “all eventualities”, as one of multiple wildfires burning in France is now 15km (nine miles) from the south-western city.

User experience wise, Canvas > Moodle easily

I didn’t know Canvas was open source, that’s cool

Sure but its not that farfetched either

Whether or not it actually happened, calling it out is the right move. Don’t make death threats, don’t harass, don’t threaten to dox people. It doesn’t help, and simply discussing the issue was enough to highlight the problems with the shadowban list

Why though, this strengthens his argument about the harassment

Unless the alt is being used to evade bans, or trying to steer the conversation, I don’t see the benefit in chasing around the dev on different accounts. Report it to mods/admins as needed, but don’t share it in this thread where a lot of people are already upset at the person

This bit:

Over the course of the last several days, I have received a constant stream of harassing messages, death threats, and threats of doxxing over DM, Matrix, Github, and Codeberg

I don’t know the extent of it, but I can definitely see this happening. Its not a fediverse thing, or a social media thing, some people take things too far.

I’m really hoping this is a joke website, or it was made for a TV show or something. It was the first result when I looked up “buy organs”

https://organcity.com/about/

If they are preying on desperate people, then that is just vile and the site should get shut down.

Because none of this makes sense, emphasis mine

It’s a fun coincidence

Also neat, I didn’t know about this one

I think it comes down to

• on paper it isn’t gambling
• in practice it has become gambling

ETFs are generally better, especially if you don’t touch them for a long time.

I’ll edit that comment for clarity

We host a few of the frontends on our own infrastructure, which improves performance for users, among other benefits like reducing strain elsewhere. It’s also easy for our local users to remember that old.lemmy.ca goes to the old interface, photon.lemmy.ca to photon, blorp.lemmy.ca to blorp etc. We are taking down the Tesseract one.

Winters’ lawyers alleged the platform “repeatedly and insistently misdiagnosed” him while drawing on previous discussions about religion to assure him he would recover.

I forgot that it “learns” now, I haven’t tried it in a long while 🤦

I haven’t tried any myself yet, but I’ve heard that watches have a hard time reading the data compared to bands that go around your arm or chest, or even the rings. I don’t think I’d enjoy wearing a ring while sleeping though

I think people are tired of these headlines because we’ve seen the same thing for many companies, without lasting consequences. It’s even worse for elon musk related stocks, because of how much manipulation those ones go through.

I don’t have a source, so take it with a grain of salt, but I vaguely remember a discussion that one of his companies couldn’t remove him because the stock was artificially inflated by his presence. It might have been tesla

This guide page goes into what an alternative UI is, and some of the popular ones that are available. It is a little out of date, lemmy.ca also dropped tesseract we are no longer hosting Tesseract for lemmy.ca

The controversy around tesseract is better explained elsewhere, but it boils down to a questionable blocklist that the dev was injecting into the tool, without it being made apparent to the users or admins

This seems simple enough

According to The Guardian, which covered the story earlier this week following the court’s first hearing on Monday, Atlanta resident Samuel Tunick is fighting the charges. Tunick’s attorneys said that it was unlawful for U.S. Customs and Border Protection to seize his phone as he arrived back in the U.S. last year and that any evidence — including the alleged wiping of his phone — should be thrown out.

Also for context, the resident was targeted for connection to protests

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/23/cop-city-protester-phone

The US Department of Justice is attempting to prosecute an Atlanta resident in connection with the movement against the police training center known as Cop City because he had GrapheneOS on his phone, an open-source operating system that enables users to enter a passcode and wipe a phone clean.

The defendant, Sam Tunick, was stopped for interrogation at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport on 24 January last year, after vacationing in the Dominican Republic. Unbeknown to him, federal authorities had put him on a terrorism watchlist because of his alleged association with the movement against Cop City.

Opposition to the $109m police training center, which opened last spring, came from a wide range of local and national organizations and protesters, centered on concerns around police militarization and clearing forests in an era of climate crisis. Atlanta police said the center was needed for “world-class” training and to attract new officers.

Several state attempts to prosecute Cop City protesters have foundered in the last several years, while this is the second recent federal effort, after the justice department announced another indictment last month.

I have heard that a dedicated sleep tracking device will work better than the watches, but I don’t have any direct experience there.

Maybe you can find one that can export the data over a USB cable

Blorp seems to support it: select the three dots next to a username -> Author -> Tag Author

There is discussion about adding this to Lemmy proper: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1456
