RE: https://mastodon.social/@galacticstone/116703232532197146 Yeah, we took Ciri to the vet today so this was even more true than usual.

After the new Spider-Man I got curious and looked at which #MCU movies of the Multiverse Saga do not have any of their leads currently listed as returning for Doomsday (according to IMDb). Eternals Spider-Man Doctor Strange The Marvels Deadpool & Wolverine Ant-Man is in Doomsday, but Wasp […]

Spent most of the day trying to get #WSL to work again in order to use #Docker after it spontaneously broke, with no luck so far. Tried lots of combinations of uninstall and reinstall and repair and reset and restart and maybe I can use Hyper-V instead, all with no progress at all, not even […]

I've been trying Qwant a little as my personal device search engine, in my attempts to use less US Big Tech. I don't think I like it as much as Bing still but it is close enough that it might be viable to keep using.

I was too busy to post this last night but did get a #Caturday photo. #Calico #Cat #CatsOfMastodon #PixelfedCats

My stepdad is visiting and we recently got #AppleTV again, so tonight we watch last year's greatest dad movie, F1.

Things everybody should do sporadically, even if they don’t need to: * ride the nearest mass transit * workout and shower at the local gym (Y, J, etc.) Recalibrates your life.

The scarier cars to me when I'm on my bike approaching the trail crossing are not those that are clearly going way too fast to notice me. The scariest ones are those that are going slow enough to recognize the very heavily marked crossing and the car the other direction has already stopped and […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/117004607857680903 This seems like a dramatically better approach than a lot of the age verification privacy violating nonsense.

Please stop using AI to find vulnerabilities in our software. We worked really hard to leave backdoors for the government to use and you guys keep finding them

An astoundingly large percentage of my personal technical policies are guided by the idea that I want to minimize my losses after the next sudden yet inevitable betrayal.

The words I want to yell at Doug Ford right now would probably require a content warning on Mastodon. If his rich donors don't get to destroy Toronto with unsustainable transport, the rest of us "fringe" people who actually live in cities (ie most of the population) aren't allowed sustainable […]

I did not realize until that article I just boosted that #GrapheneOS is based on Canada, so that definitely increases my chances of giving it a try one of these days.

Since around when we got Telus PureFibre Internet I've noticed my Pixel phone when I'm at home having a lot of brief drops of the WiFi, like 10 seconds at most before it's back on. It's most annoying if I was using Chromecast to play a podcast on a speaker, because now the connection is broken […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/116992767597688359 His crime: being in a forest protection group and having a privacy-focused phone. Dystopian times in which we are living.

I'm not even remotely sorry.

It's already the non-permanent solution.

#AppleTV seems to have gone down while we were partway through an episode of Pluribus.

Just imagine if we'd invested over a trillion dollars in green energy rather than AI.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@jenniferplusplus/116970314282378969 There is one website I put in the allow list for my ad blocker, because it is the only website I know that uses context ads instead of surveillance ads. I'm fine with ads (with some caveats about usable web design placement). I'm not […]

It's nice that @Waterfox syncs with a Firefox account and I didn't have to set up everything again, but since Waterfox has its own adblocker and a warning if you install another one, I can't keep an adblocker in Firefox without getting that warning in Waterfox. Not a problem if I stick with […]

Grocery store bike parking being on a slight slope is a dangerous combination. Hold the bike from rolling away. Hold the cart from rolling away. Transfer items from the cart to the bike. I only have two hands. Uh-oh, another cyclist is trying to park and pushed my cart away without realizing […]

Friday night good news dump: the attempt to expand Billy Bishop airport on Toronto Island has been shut down after overwhelmingly negative public feedback […]

#Toronto people who bike, how hard would it be for me to come in on the train, rent a bike, and spend part of a day riding the Lakeshore? I saw somewhere online that it's about 9km, mostly flat, mostly detached from cars other than intersections, and with lots of places to stop for food or […]

Reminder, social media bans for kids are nothing to do with protecting kids, and everything to do with removing anonymity from the web.

Having now watched two episodes I think I can confidently say that all the people talking about how good #Plur1bus is were onto something.

brb admonishing my adversaries for their bad behavior, which bears a striking and uncanny resemblance to mine

Kid and I did lighten up on the walk home, getting into a set theory and language discussion on the interrelationships of birb, chonk, and borb after passing a dozen or so fat robins having a field day on a wormy lawn in the rain. I was told I have to ask the fediverse: is borb a special case […]

I once again ponder what is even the point of a new trade deal with Trump when he is constantly showing that he has no problem violating them on a whim, even the ones that he himself signed and declared a big victory for the US in the first place.
