Endless complaints about the new NB Virtual Health system. We replaced a somewhat-dysfunctilnal-but-working system with Maple and an NB Middleman, with a totally broken one. Anyone know if @susanholtnb.bsky.social reads reddit? www.reddit.com/r/newbrunswi...

Is the Microsoft Office Ribbon causing people to have fewer children? A provocative new working paper explores the persistent drop in birth rates since Office 2007 was introduced nearly two decades ago.

The conspiracy nut in me says that Elon Musk is likely funneling money into data center protests. Why? Because if you can dupe the public into blocking enough data center construction on the ground, then it all of a sudden supports SpaceXs wacky space based data center narrative.

All legislation involving technology should not be allowed without a POC implementation of said legislation, that proves it is both implementable and that it doesn't have unconsidered downstream effects.

@gandersocial.ca Suggested Methods: - Any already verified humans should be able to verify others. If its good enough for Passport Canada it should be good enough for you - Text a random captcha image to the phone number. Let someone hold that image up to the camera - Partner with Interac Sign-In

Advice for @gandersocial.ca - you need to add another method for "human check". If you think I am going to go through the hassle of going to Canada Post just to try out a new social media app that may not even exist in a month - you're cooked. (1/2)

One of the most important things you can ever learn in life is the meaning of value, and how little it has to do with cost. Teach this to your children early, the same way you teach them basic finance, and they will do OK.

In a nutshell. 😊

Why does the @defcon.bsky.social CFP portal: - Not support passkeys - Require creating an account with a password - Not supporting OIDC or any other federation Both are bad security practice in 2026, but the combination of all 3 is really far behind.

Whoever it is at health Canada that decided that dosage information does not need to be on the outside of the bottle and can instead be behind these peeling labels, I hate you.

Been seeing people use "AI;DR" on slop articles and posts. This is a trend I can get behind.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

I enjoy living where things like this still make the news. @newbrunswick.bsky.social

THIS.

"The appointee of former President Joe Biden said that starting Friday".... Ever media outlet in the US does this, with every story. " have never once, in my entire life, seen the Canadian media highlight who appointed a judge. It's not discussed, nor does the average citizen even think about it.

Wait til Melania hears about this. Ahahahahah filthy bastard.

Are there really more people on Bluesky wanting "drafts" than the basic ability to edit posts, or for video uploads that don't take 10x as long as every other platform?

Giant dill pickles are an extremely slept on tasty and low calorie snack. 5 calories in a giant pickle! You can eat the entire jar and be at less calories than 4 or 5 m&ms.

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

He lost his original seat and had to take whichever one they could find for him

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Videos of deadly Minneapolis shooting contradict government statements

Why does @govnb.bsky.social use these four colors in all of their social media posts and videos? Where did they come from, and why? They arent the colors on the flag, they arent the colors in our logo, who picked them for this rebranding and when? People need to know!

Holy crap, this gave me goosebumps

It never ceases to amaze me how many people dont know very basic things about how the world works. Whenever you talk to someone for the first time - keep in mind that there are 50/50 odds they wander through life clueless.

If you aren't blocking "platform.twitter.com" in your UBlock / Adblock yet - why?

Why do car remote key fobs not include ability to program a garage door button

This entire thread and its comments is the perfect example of what people mean when they say "the left eats itself"

Unless you work for the federal government, where a DBPP cant go underwater because the government wont ever go bankrupt, pensions generally are worse for the employees than a matching RRSP contribution. DCPPs in particular are a big PITA for the employee. More employers should talk about this.

Arguing with idiots on social media is like pissing upstream into the wind. Sometimes you just gotta do it, but it gets you nowhere and just makes a mess.

Plug-in vehicles—EVs and plug-in hybrids—had a good 2025, in terms of global sales. But the United States was about the only country where they saw a decline. insideevs.com/news/784417/...

I've started to realize a special joy in blocking idiots on social media.

Is the DIB now referred to as the WIB?

Do Canadian MPs actually connect with the public on X? I looked at RTs and views for every tweet* sent by Liberal MPs yesterday Out of 46 tweets, 21 Liberal MPs racked up a combined 475 retweets 34% had zero RTs. Only 17% got more than 10 RTs 3 tweets accounted for over half of all engagement

Canada has 41.5 million people, and its governing party is posting messages on a platform that are on average viewed by only a few hundred people What do Canadian MPs actually gain from using X? What would Canadian MPs stand to lose by leaving X?

this is actually much more important video

This is the video.

Bender Till December >> Dry January.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

I am once again asking the Canadian and New Brunswick governments to stop using Twitter/X and to avoid any product produced by Elon Musk’s corporations

They are. EV sales growth overall was in Europe around +25%. So to tank your sales by 25% is quite an achivement in this enviroment. Tesla should sold 352k cars in EU/ETFA/UK (11 months of 2025) but they sold only 203K cars. That means that Tesla actually underperforms around 43%.

Interesting data (from Waymo) showing that robotaxis are significantly safer than the average human driver. This is likely because they respect traffic rules. An NYT op-ed by a neurosurgeon calls for a broader adoption as a public health measure. Thoughts? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/o...

Im still waiting for an AI that can keep my books and file my taxes. These jobs should be so easy. Why are they so hard....

Windows may install malware, but Microsoft promises the next Xbox will be super expensive and won't have any exclusives, so it all balances out in the end.

Its insane to me how the US thinks its OK to tax lottery winnings like this and yet actual they dont think its OK to figure out how to tax actual billionaires.

GenA slang is so nonsensical. Chopping something invariably makes it better. So instead let's use it to mean its worse.
