The Fedi is a cult. What does the cult worship? #askfedi

Gee. Thanks Fediverse. When I complain about Windows, I literally never thought about running Linux in my life. As I stare at my shelf full of Linux laptops. Or look back at my decades of working and playing with Linux systems. Or the Linux stickers on my desk. Or ... Sometimes people just […]

Look at the sky! #toronto

I would like you to know that I'm currently radioactive. Eat a few more bananas and maybe you'll catch up.

I love the way you shitpost.

@xgranade riffing on those ideas, I think in addition to explainers (aka evangelists), FOSS needs a *lot* more designers (not architects) and product managers to bridge that chasm between FOSS coders and FOSS users. Those are the people who figure out what the bumps are that need smoothing […]

John Oliver hat 10 Minuten über #Bernd das #brot gemacht und erstaunliche charakterliche Übereinstimmungen festgestellt. 😂

Thinking about ancient people busying themselves by moving large stones and piles of earth, aligning them with major astrological events. #equinox #busybusy

At the hospital (I'm fine). There is a plaque on the wall: "This department was furnished by George Weston Limited." *Sigh*

I'm out of peanuts and seeds right now. It used to be the adult male cardinal that would come glare at me when I came outside without seeds, but now it seems like they've sent their juvenile cardinal to come yell at me instead. ;P

@mayintoronto I could be very old - I mean I AM very old, Im fckn fifty - but I think its cause kids don't get out and do stuff like we used to. No scouts/girl guides, church groups, summer camps, band practice, hanging at the mall/arcade/pool hall.. hanging out is all online now

@mayintoronto The best wedding tables are the old travel sports team friends, the college friends, the D&D/WH/pickleball/frisbee golf/other interesting hobby here/ friends.

A while ago, I was at a friend's wedding. The table next to us was an interesting rambunctious crew. At first I thought they might be co-workers, but they were too friendly for that. In what world are people ever that close? They were Warhammer pals. No pals like Warhammer pals.

#vancouver - My friend Celeste is running a trans ID clinic on Saturday. https://bsky.app/profile/celeste.lgbt/post/3lzfpgtkois24 #trans

@mayintoronto May just wandering the streets of Toronto looking for cool people holding Pokeballs. 🤣

#toronto - Saturday Sept 27, 2pm. @ChristineMalec is hosting Described Toronto's Description-Rich Story Hour at Lee Lifeson Art Park (North York Centre Station). I'm super looking forward to this event! It's fully accessible including ASL translation and sighted guides. The performers sound […]

I wonder how much of software's problems as an industry come from how much work individuals are expected to do entirely on their own. Even in traditional engineering, you're always talking to other people about schematics and the larger system design, and not just looking at docs. Much of the […]

Finally tried the Nepali place down the street and it's so very good! (Bhojan Ghar) Solid naan, fantastic chow mein. Chilli momos were solid too. I prefer Cumin a couple doors down for straight up Indian dishes, but it's hard to compare to that place, imo. #torontofoodie

Today's John Oliver and the burnt bread is :chef_kiss:

I have heard people getting denied for COVID vaccines because they don't have a health condition. Let this trans person teach y'all cis something: It is always ethical to lie to gatekeepers preventing you from getting the healthcare you need. Spin whatever narrative you need to in order to fit […]

There's nothing that we need to do that we can't do with existing technology. So the question then becomes: what are we building towards, and why?

I forgot about Port Hood station beach, which had a lovely boardwalk and the beach was full of rocks and shellfish. It's also another protected area because of the sand dunes. (We slept in Antigonish after) #sktrip

All the cats and all the celestial bodies are pieced, it’s now just a matter of sewing these disparate sized blocks together (and adding a few borders) I’m enjoying sharing my sewing room with these big cats who don’t shed 😂 Tagging in @erosdiscordia for the […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

My in-laws do not know not to send us flowers. Yes, there are the normal concerns about cat-friendly plants and so forth, but the biggest problem is that Dolores is obsessed with them. She gets so excited around them that she has to be supervised.

Some things that have brought me joy: 1. I’ve been in New York and Boston for the last two weeks. I’ve reconnected with old friends and family, and made new ones. My aunt spoke of her 40 years in New York. We connected over how our respective parents (my grandparents, and her sister / […]

Disney didn’t lose $7 billion in a day. this started with some site in Pakistan speculating about #Disney losses (± 3.9B) due to the #JimmyKimmel #BoycottDisney campaign. then seems some CENTRIST election grifter group ―that won’t leave the substack nazi […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

@mayintoronto But I do give it to Toronto, public transportation is really functional (never took a bus or train though; ferry, tram and subway)

really can't imagine how that would feel

@mayintoronto It’s more or less the same thing here. We have 5 or 6 groups responsible for transportation on the Island of Montréal. Bixi has been taken over by the City of Montréal after their bankruptcy. As a country, we’re good a creating too many cooks in the transportation kitchen.

Went for a #cycle today. Took the Go commuter train from #Toronto to Brampton (Mount Pleasant). Cycled to the Bad Lands, saw the little Brampton airport. Much of the rail trail in Caledon was detoured, so had to climb more hills than I thought. It's all #Escarpment […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

I have ZERO sympathy for Bob Iger. One, he's a multi billionaire. Two, the right thing to do when he was threatened by the FCC was to tell them "Fuck You, See you in court." So he's in a tough position entirely through his own making of being a spineless bootlicking piece of shit. @dangillmor
