Bluesky as a whole should also join the fediverse.

Scenario: Freeland foments party revolt against Trudeau, figuring it’s her chance to be PM. Leadership contest ensues. Carney steps in and wins it.

The fediverse is the one halfway viable alternative to the rotten big platforms that has a chance and I continue to be perplexed that Ed Zitron isn’t on it. We’re building the future of social media over here. Maybe that was you back in 2018, giving up after two days when it turned out you didn’t have an instant audience of millions after two days on mastodon. Maybe the problem didn’t seem so urgent back then. Maybe you got a bad first impression for some other reason. Try again. You make the case for it without being part of it. Join the fediverse, Ed.

I’m willing to entertain the possibility that the linux world may be lacking in some things, but I’m pretty sure “configuration tools for sysadmins” is not one of them.

My first thought was “why would you ever buy it in amounts less than an 8th, that’s not much” but I guess I had heard of such a thing as a dime bag which I have only just now learned was 1g. I always thought it meant “$10 worth” or something, and was for tourists who didn’t know they were paying too much for too little.

I don’t know about the 1970s but in the late '80s it seems to me that none of the weed dealers had gone metric yet. I assumed this meme was about cocaine.

Singh can’t win. Trudeau can’t win. They’ve both got no chance. Federal politics in Canada has collapsed. People no longer understand or care about the issues. Politicians no longer understand or care about the people. The Conservatives will have their way with the country for a while.

I wonder how many of those one in four people are even aware that everything they say gets uploaded to a data centre somewhere. I had a phone with speech recognition as a prominent feature until I wiped it and installed a different OS, and I don’t remember seeing any warning at all about that.

I like the way she’s cheerful and optimistic, and ready to throw fireballs at anything that stands in the way.

That depends what you use for a discount rate I guess, but at least they didn’t lose much.

I’m not usually going to have a Skyrim follower, but if I’m going to have a Skyrim follower it’s definitely Sa’chil.

Wait, who is he inviting to pray for Intel? Everyone? Me?

O beloved Intel, producer of microchips Let thy wafers be smooth and flawless And the microcode free of bugs May your processors faithfully execute And never be troubled by spectres Through the profits of thy business units The world knows the might of America

An interesting factoid buried under three layers of stupidity. The gist of it is that watching video uses electricity.

It’s a topic that brings out my cantankerous old man persona. In the halcyon days of the late 20th century when everyone paid for restaurant bills in cash, tipping was a tolerable tradition. Throw in another $2 if you’ve got it, why not. You’d never expect the waiter to stand there and count out all the nickels and dimes for exact change, so you’ve got to raise the amount paid to the nearest round number anyway. Then we started paying with credit cards. If people were rational that would’ve been the end of tipping, but then if people were rational we’d still be paying in cash. After so many years of constantly seeing it done and occasionally even partaking in it, adding a tip to a payment made electronically still feels like a crime against nature.

I can’t agree that cutting back on exports should’ve been the first priority. It would’ve done less good at a higher cost than eliminating domestic fossil fuel consumption, which is how Canada could’ve had a real impact on on global scale by showing everyone how it’s done. I write in the past tense because with the Liberal government having failed to get it done, the political chance to accomplish anything useful in time to prevent the disaster seems to be rapidly approaching zero.

Wow, a truth.social link. Don’t think I’ve ever seen one before. Normally, meaningless idiotic tweets from DJ Trump only turn up on the TV news, not in my Internet news feed.
