  • I have AuDHD and I can’t remember a damn thing. Unless it happened 30 years ago, then it’s photographic with built in zoom.

    But I tend to build muscle memory about stores I frequent. My Walmart redesigned twice in 6 months. And now I just do Walmart delivery because I can’t deal with how it’s now laid out





  • My family is from Quebec’s Eastern Townships, which used to have a much larger English-speaking population. Over the years, most of my relatives moved to Ontario or Nova Scotia, while some stayed in Quebec.

    At my grandmother’s 95th birthday recently, the conversation somehow turned to immigration. A couple of relatives who own businesses in Quebec started talking about immigrants and even some of their own employees. The level of hostility and prejudice in their comments genuinely shocked me.

    That experience left me with the impression that anti-immigrant attitudes are still deeply embedded in parts of Quebec society, even if they aren’t always visible in public. So nothing about this situation is surprising to me.






  • As a male with an unfortunate genetic condition I can honestly say it’s not just the women.

    Sitting on the sidelines, and watching my friend group jump into bed and into marriage with the first consenting partner is just about the dumbest thing imaginable. Years later they wake up and realize that the hormones experienced during the young adult years, did not allow them to make correct life decisions. But, now there’s a mortgage and kids and they’re stuck and miserable.

    Some cheat, some take out their anger on what they see as the cause of their unhappiness: the wife, the kids. It’s a stupid situation, and the amount of times I’ve heard “Why didn’t you stop me?”… I tried, ad nauseam.





    1. Fixed credential-exfiltration risk in /api/proxy/image: Previously the endpoint could:
    • accept arbitrary auth_id
    • load stored API keys
    • forward them to attacker-controlled URLs
    1. Enforced outbound host allowlist globally Previously:
    • allowlist existed
    • but outgoingFetch() didn’t enforce it
    • plugins/engines could bypass it
    1. Fixed extension store path traversal Previously a malicious store manifest could:
    • inject … paths
    • escape install directories
    • reference arbitrary files
    1. Hardened proxy IP trust Previously:
    • rate limiting trusted any X-Forwarded-For header
    • clients could spoof their IP
    1. Fixed inconsistent settings authentication Previously:
    • settings UI stored an auth token
    • but the settings modal didn’t send it when saving
    1. Implemented Improved proxy deployment support
    • Added proxy-aware behavior:
    • DEGOOG_PUBLIC_BASE_URL for canonical URLs
    • secure cookie handling when X-Forwarded-Proto=https

    Additional Improvements:

    • suggestion fetching hardened
    • DuckDuckGo suggestion parsing fixed
    • unified outbound request handling
    • install state guard properly cleaned up

    Made some other changes for my specific deployment. Very happy with your work so far. Thanks so much





  • This being Lemmy and AI shit posting a hobby of everyone on here. I’ve had excellent results with AI. I have weird complicated health issues and in my search for ways not to die early from these issues AI is a helpful tool.

    Should you trust AI? of course not but having used Gemini, then Claude and now ChatGPT I think how you interact with the AI makes the difference. I know what my issues are, and when I’ve found a study that supports an idea I want to discuss with my doctor I will usually first discuss it with AI. The Canadian healthcare landscape is such that my doctor is limited to a 15min appt, part of a very large hospital associated practice with a large patient load. He uses AI to summarize our conversation, and to look up things I bring up in the appointment. I use AI to preplan my appointment, help me bring supporting documentation or bullet points my doctor can then use to diagnose.

    AI is not a doctor, but it helps both me and my doctor in this situation we find ourselves in. If I didn’t have access to my doctor, and had to deal with the American healthcare system I could see myself turning to AI for more than support. AI has never steered me wrong, both Gemini and Claude have heavy guardrails in place to make it clear that AI is not a doctor, and AI should not be a trusted source for medical advice. I’m not sure about ChatGPT as I generally ask that any guardrails be suppressed before discussing medical topics. When I began using ChatGPT I clearly outlined my health issues and so far it remembers that context, and I haven’t received hallucinated diagnoses. YMMV.
