Nope, they still require a number.
From their site:
Requiring phone numbers in Signal lets people see which of their friends they can easily talk to on Signal while limiting the potential for spam within the app.
There are options to spoof a number in the States, and probably some areas of th EU, but many other places are SOL.
Alberta has a thriving film industry, too. Nearly any Western, or show that’s written for Texas and vicinity will have scenes shot in Alberta. The Last of Us was shot in Calgary, Edmonton, and Canmore along with various “wilderness” locations. The giraffes in the series are Calgary Zoo residents.
The last time I looked into it in 2021, Ecobee used google cloud for telemetry and analytics.
I’ve found this site to be a helpful breakdown of the different quality levels of CO2, along with an overview of what those contaminants can be. I personally prefer to keep the purity at food or beverage level, but your risk profile is unique to you.

The 2022 AB general election was 52.63% UCP, 44.05% NDP. The only reason they have a majority is the dumpster fire that is first past the post.
AB’s about on par with ON, and it’s 5% off from the difference between BC’s two parties in their last election.
And in fact there are people taking steps to force a leadership change. I dont know why you don’t know about it. Maybe you don’t speak with anyone actually in Alberta, and just go off what you read in our right-owned media?
Likely not what you’re looking for, but a note to consider: Most monitored security/camera/automation services (the ones with monthly fees) in Canada use the Alarm.com platform, meaning you’re supporting american indirectly.
Telus launched its own competition to ADC, with their own cameras, etc. But when you dig into the coding a bit, you can see the platform uses Amazon’s AWS, and the cameras are manufactured overseas.
If you have the patience and savvy, the self hosted Home Assistant suggested elsewhere is the way to go.
Personally, I’d rather have an effective politician, rather than an exciting one.
Either way, you apparently missed the AB NDPs electing Naheed Nenshi as their new leader. I’m not his biggest fan, but he’s likely to be more “exciting” for you.

The Apothecary in Calgary has a series of lip balms made in-house, that all have beeswax in them (they have complete ingredient listings for all their products on their site)
The tins are approx. twice the price of a Burt’s tube, and you’re also getting ~3 times the volume of product, so it’s a decent trade off.
If there any hives around/outside your city, they may manufacture lip balms as well. Pop in if they advertise visits - or there may be a communal apiarist run shop like we have here - all the bee related products you could hope for, produced by the hives of the local beekeepers.
As was pointed out on the nearly identical post in this group earlier: this is one of several posts this user has created during their 8 days on Lemmy that read like attention seeking, or bad-faith posts.
2 topics in the Bi group about being a bi(?) woman only attracted to men, one in a trans community about being a cishet woman who faked being a trans man to be “gay online”, one about being attracted to a 16 y/o boy. All written with click-baity titles like this one.
Please check the user’s post history, and assess whether it’s worth investing the energy before engaging.
Sounds great, epsecially for people less comfortable juggling multiple websites/apps while shopping. Hopefully the android version will be coming soon.
Maynard’s wine gums are made in Canada, though they’re now owned by Mondelez, which is American.
Well, they’re American, and this is the “buy Canadian” group, so that’s one reason.
That said, I also really like the idea of Framework, and spent a -lot- of time reading reviews and comments because it was one I was seriously considering, too.
General consensus is that the 13" framework is great, but that screen is too small for my use case (I do some graphics work). The 16" is…OK. More of a proof of concept than a fully finished laptop. As someone who buys once every 10 years, I’d rather not sink $3000 - $5000 on something I’ll be frustrated with for 9.5 years.
(Edited to fix typo)
Good to know. I recently picked up an LG TV after my Samsung died (it made it 17+ years, so can’t complain.) I’ve been happy with the TV, so will look into their laptops, too.
Thank you. I’d opted out of framework a while ago, because the 13 is a bit too small, and I’ve heard the 16 has some fitting issues, which, if I got a new laptop every couple years, I’d be down to support them, but that’s not me.
And agreed about popOS, I actually landed on it because it just worked with my nvidia GPU, but if there was some partnerships or whatnot, I wouldn’t die with a new distro.
Thank you! Not sure how my DDG-fu missed Eurocom and that wiki page 😮💨.
I’ll take a look!
Thank you, that’s a great idea! Do you have any suggestions for where to look? EBay wasn’t my friend, but I also wasn’t specifying business.
Fair. I certainly had to resurrect WTH loss meant when I joined Lemmy. I was more thinking the Venn diagram of people still clinging to Loss, and people on Lemmy is probably not a perfect circle. But who knows.
Bringing your voter information card with a driver’s license or any other Canadian Gov’t issued card with photo, name and address is like having a FastPass for voting.
