Her and her husband were sick af. It's good they got caught (relatively) early into their thing, they almost certainly would've continued on with that shit indefinitely if they could've.

Only two convicted murders but one of them was her own sister, Karla Homolka served 12 years and got out in 2005.

Fuckers can try. I wasn't directly involved in this but I grew to know personally David Arthur Johnston over (?) a decade ago who spent years in Victoria viscerally protesting right-to-sleep laws/anti-laws and finally won. Due to his tireless efforts, hunger strikes in jail, and community support he helped pave the way for homless people to pitch and sleep in tents for the night on any public property.

Don't like seeing poor people on public lands? Okay... be part of the solution.

That was his message. And here we are still working on the questions involved, and solutions. Good. As long as the convo is still active and we haven't given up.

Anyways!

Yeah I tried an @ and then some markdown and then just went hrrumphsend. Who'd have thought it's a bang?

Anyway now I know.

I'm going to pop into Boost's community and suggest they hardcode it in the edit-post modal or something for us lazy people. 🤣

Thanks. I tried to look up how to format it but failed. Will fix now.

Literally

I just read something the other day that a single query like this one burns enough electricity to charge an iPhone 100 times or whatever the hell. It sounds like hyperbole but I think that number is close.

This is how humankind ends. A guy asking a fucking computer to validate his insecurity infinite times. This is how ai ultimately destroys us.

jfc I just noticed the account name 🤦

Classy. It's funny they're trying to "reach AGI" with all this shit but they code the bots with the equivalent of Jordan Peterson's take on how emotionality is a sickness. Well plaid (SIC).

I've used wi-fi calling fairly extensively mostly because I've lived in areas where there was zero cell service but ready access to internet (via Starlink or other wireless forms of it). One thing I do know is that my phone co. requests that I fill out a form specifying where I am living currently (whilst using it) so that if I ever need to contact emergency services they'll have a better idea of where to route the call to. For instance my phone number originates from Western BC but I could potentially be using wi-fi calling from anywhere in the province. I mention this to say, it appears my telco doesn't have a way to triangulate me with this service.

I can further attest that wi-fi call & text reception still works fine when I have a VPN running on the router that my mobile device is connecting to. Make of that information what you wish.

Though that I have read that wi-fi calling is atrocious for privacy reasons that I have not followed up on. Given the above I'm not sure how or why that would be the case, but basically if I'm in an area with cell coverage I turn it off. I've always meant to look deeper into how or why it might be bad (or worse) in some way.
