Yeah, every city everywhere across Canada is mysteriously unable to sustainably fund itself, what an absolute #Shocker. Just build out more sprawling car-dependent burbs, that'll solve it for sure 🤣

Strange, isn’t it, that it’s the case everywhere?

Among many other things, this is a good reason to amend the constitution so they are just the mere servants* of the provinces.

*(The official language is, I think, ‘children,’ but that’s just too perverse.)

in reply to Hamish Buchanan

@hamishb absolutely! Councils' good faith efforts to run city budgets are easy pickings for demagogues like Ford and Smith.

I know why I missed this; I was wholly focused on my imminent face rearrangement in July and had zero cycles to keep track of the news,

but WHAT THE UNHOLY FUCK

Good news! It’s systemd!

(My “good news” can be read as either sincere or sarcastic depending on your views on systemd.)

Quitting #Netflix and #Spotify this month and finding #qobuz has helped me realize there are choices out there. You dont have to settle for the enshittification, you can find good options. Now if I can find a good alternative for Netflix.
in reply to Andrew Wooldridge 🎄

I quit Spotify in October. I wanted to go with Qobuz but had to go with Tidal in the end, due to the costs. I know Qubuz had some better bits here and there, but the difference in payment was just a bit too much, unfortunately.
Maybe, some day, I can switch to it as well... But for now, I'm just glad to be free from Spotify... 😊


Summer and I were watching the Detroit Lions game we missed last Thursday because we don't have an Amazon Prime membership anymore. At least I thought we were watching the game together until I heard her light snoring.
She can keep me warm while I multitask. Folding a mountain of clean clothes while I watch the Lions win. She will be sad that she missed this game.

just read a news outlet titling itself independent journalism and or maybe because it's not using a.i., and now I think maybe that becomes a flavour of future information streams, h.i. (*only) (*or classic)


The crime reporting form was easy, and the system promised to instantaneously route my description of the crime scene to the Mendocino Sheriff's Office.
