Wow. TIL, the Colonel lived in Mississauga.

Craig Baird-Canadian History Ehx@cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social · 2y ago

For 15 years from 1965 until his death in 1980, the man the world knew as Colonel Sanders lived in a modest home at 1337 Melton Drive in the Lakeview area of Mississauga. He became a fixture of the community and gave his money to charity to help Canadians. 🧵1/10

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

If Canada lets a knowledgeable candidate like Carney slip through our fingers, in favour of an idiot like Poilievre, we will have proven that we're no better than our neighbours to the south #cdnpoli

Been debugging a function for 2 hours that's worked as it's supposed to the entire time. I've been looking at the wrong output. Every. Single. Time. So how's your Friday going?

Looking forward to both #adventofcode and TryHackMe's #adventofcyber this year as always. Maybe I'll get past day 3 this year......

"I get my news from X" Posts a link to a news story and proclaims, "See, X had the news first! Don't trust traditional media!" .........not realizing (or caring) there's a link to the original news source underneath. The Washington Post.

Maybe the sweet spot for AI in tech is "attending" meetings for us, give us the bullet points and any follow ups needed. How many times have you left a meeting wondering why you were even there......... This could have been an email.

That’s…that’s the job? Someone might want to tell them 😂 This is why AI can’t do it!

I just completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/2 I'm a couple of days behind.......

Spotify Wrapped..... Apparently I had a nostalgic year listening to primarily my old favourite hair bands from the '80s-'90s. 😆 Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, GNR, and a couple of more "modern" bands, Linkin Park, Foo Fighters........ Somehow Taylor Swift snuck in there thanks to my daughter.....

I finished this (finally.......) last night. I've completed "Historian Hysteria" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/1

Ah yes, Black Friday, that time of year your inbox fills with email offers from all those email lists you forgot you were on........

A nice thing coming to Bluesky for me is not only finding lots of Twitter follows (thank you SkyBridge), but it seems much easier to find local accounts too. Searching a city or region finds lots of accounts and feeds from that area.

IF YOU WERE PART OF TECH TWITTER IN ANY WAY, can you comment here so we can find everyone we knew in the community. I feel like I am going crazy trying to search for accounts and it is exhausting. Can we get a thread going on of everyone? Let's bring the community back together over here.

For those who liked Tweet Deck on the other site or the advanced view on Mastodon. Bluesky has their own version deck.blue. It's pretty nice.

So my trusty old Dell Vostro laptop running Linux Mint won't charge (easy fix hopefully, just waiting on a new charging port). Stuck using my wife's old laptop running Windows.....

I'm liking a lot of things about Bluesky. 🦋 As someone who struggled to find people to follow, I find the Starter Packs really helpful. I just wish they were easier to find.
