  1. This movie is filled with random meetings and people saying “can you hear me, can you hear me.”
    They really did nail the future. #monsterdon

  2. A request to the #Fediverse :fediverse: and #Mastodon :mastodon: :

    Could those who wish to share links here from that disgusting, enshitified #BigTech platform “YouTube” please tag those posts with the hashtag #YouTube?

    That would make it much easier to ignore those posts altogether using a filter.

    I will not watch any videos on YouTube.
    #Videos and #Links on #PeerTube, on the other hand, are always welcome.

    Thank you very much!

  3. Hey there, lovely people. Last weekend at #LNC2026 in Leipzig, the 8-year-old Leon found a #gamebreaking bug in Anna: The Magic of Words. Today I publish it and fixed it for the upcoming final game. Thanks bud! 🙏😍

    Technical details about the bug: eastpixel.de/en/2026/05/17/ann

  4. #ActualBudget continues to improve their open-source finance app. The latest update I'm excited about is they added GruvBox as a custom theme! #OpenSource #Finances

  5. hoping for a safe outcome for these four individuals in BC and elsewhere. And no spread anywhere. Thankfully, no one not on the ship has been infected so far globally.

  6. best secondary car-related purchase (trailer) i have ever made beside the next best car-related purchase i have made.

    This trailer has been infinitely useful even if the car is not technically "rated" for it, a cross-Canada trip and endless runs to the transfer depot, stores, soil dispensary, and rock yard have made it a huge part of our home life. Even if the lights on it only work 75% of the time (seriously... how can they not make these things more robust?)

    And the little electric pump is so great. Can plug in to both 120V home and 12V car outlet, has multiple ends for different types of tires and inflatable things. Great for home, car and camping. Set a PSI or kPa, hit the go button and it runs until the pressure is met.

    Highly recommend! (both purchased at CanTire but the trailer comes from many places under different names (all made in Ontario). The pump is CanTire brand Motomaster

  8. @josefprusa on interesting reasons why #bambulab breaks #AGPL and threatens the community.
    Basically: Keeping their code secret for (industrial) espionage because chinese law requires it.

    So maybe don’t contaminate your network with a Bambulab printer?

  9. I almost cringe to ask this….. A few years ago there was this wave of American and Canadian, and probably a bunch of our “western” country citizen, families who moved wholesale to Russia and started YouTubing or otherwise social media-ing…

    What happened to them? I fear for their kids, mostly.

  10. @rradczewski I have no real idea of elixir programming but if this does what I think I’d expect a solution based on something like an ordered set for comparison or transformation to integers.
    Does this make sense in #elixir?

    (No snark intended, it’s just curiosity. Im not a dev and especially when programming ruby in the past I spent too many hours on figuring out the one true beautiful way to do something.)

  12. Wow. This is a good result!

    "In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of Canada has created a new tort of intimate partner violence that will allow people to sue for damages when they have been subject to abuse in a relationship.

    "Intimate partner violence is a pernicious social ill deserving of the full attention of the law," the summary of the majority judgement says in defining intimate partner violence.

    "Best understood, it is not confined to conduct that inflicts physical or psychological injury, but includes all abusive conduct by which one intimate partner coerces and controls the other, thus depriving them of their autonomy.””

  13. RE: front-end.social/@anarodrigues

    THIS.

    And partly because on the job you so rarely get the freedom to go bananas. I remember before I got into freelance, Nebula.TV had a job opening and by all accounts I went bananas on my resume using #Inkscape. I got an interview BECAUSE I did that—they said the applications were all so homogeneous, it was fun to see something different.

  14. Is it possible to upload to a peertube instance via command line? (ie. automated, super useful for timelapses)

    #peertube

  15. #TIL if you're a #WebDev on #Linux you might want to put a `.nomedia` file in your project folders.

    GNOME's system-wide search will index project folders in your home directory. This includes nodes_modules/ and it wastes a lot of CPU time indexing those folders. The `.nomedia` file tells it not to index whatever folder that file is in.

    I noticed this in the “Resources” app when I had it sort by “Total CPU Time.”

  16. these two major fires happened nine days apart. Either one could have come into town with the right conditions. We are having a community meeting on Wednesday to go over what happened last year. It's going to be interesting and probably pretty emotional. Rightly so.

    I honestly think a big reason why most of the Liberal Party just doesn't get it is because they are centered in urban and sub urban Ontario and don't have to worry about their homes burning down every year.

    And allow me to just stop you right there before you say this is normal for our neck of the woods.

    Fires? sure. Fires that threaten towns on Vancouver Island. No. Never. Not in my lifetime. Nor anyone elses.

  17. Question for Carney supporters.

    When my house burns down in a climate change- accelerated fire, will I be allowed to vote for someone other than the Liberals without the "but you'll just elect a Conservative" or "but the economy" bullshit?

    I await your permission. 🙏

    P.S. And this is not a rhetorical question, we have had 3 major fires within 20km of our home in the past 3 years. We have been protected by geography, BCWildfire, and luck.

  18. Since travel to and from is common and #andv is so harmful and flying on a regular plane (or cruising in a petri dish) has some low-but-non-zero probability of transmission we can‘t expect many cases in the past having gone undetected, can we?
    Or did we have casualties in the past and they were invisible until they all were on a ship?
    What is the secret sauce that has been missing? The virus?

  19. The Sedins are going to be co-Presidents of the Vancouver Canucks! And Ryan Johnson will be GM.

    I don't hate this.
    The Twins are professionals and are excellent. I don't know Johnson but he has had success with the Abbotsford Canucks team as GM.

    We'll see how this goes. I hope they get a new coaching staff as well. It's time for a clean sweep.

  20. BC Hydro has announced it will add 8500 gigawatt hours per year from solar and wind over two years. They will come online by 2033 and boost the capacity by 13%. Most of it with better than 50% First Nations ownership.

    Site C was over $10 Billion and produces 5100GWh annually.

    Also by comparison, there is no Pipeline project and no First Nations have bought Transmountain.

  21. Remember that time when the world agreed we had to be net-zero by 2050.

    Well, enter Mark gas-it-up Carney.

    "Natural gas to play key role in strategy to double Canada’s electricity grid by 2050”

    Because apparently: “the plan, which is called Powering Canada Strong, will lower the cost of electricity for seven in 10 Canadian households by expanding the role that natural gas plays in the energy mix.”

    Even though solar and wind and batteries/other storage are the cheapest sources of grid-scale electricity in the world.

    What they are actually going to do is use this to justify LNG plants that ship natural gas to *other* countries to electrify their grids even though, again, it is far cheaper to do renewables.

    btw, a climate-change super-charged El Niño may wreck havoc with the world this year... and every other known impact of climate change is getting worse and worse.

  22. #socialBC is back online. A victim of our success... growing disk space usage :)

  23. Heads up for #SocialBC users.
    We’ve been having some issues since yesterday afternoon where timelines are updating a visible but posting and interactions are not working or intermittent.

    We're on the case and working on a fix.

    Thanks for your patience.

  24. Ich erinnere mich vage an Legenden über #XLR auf Schuko Adapter - eine Kabeltrommel zum Verlängern findet sich ja immer irgendwo - und #BigClive hat diese nützlichen Geräte tatsächlich auf #Ebay gefunden…

  25. Hilfegesuch: Suche 30+ cm SATA 6GB/s Kabel mit gewinkeltem Stecker auf einer Seite. Kabelweggang nach oben. Gekauft habe ich diese von Delock:

    delock.de/produkt/83973/merkma

    Die haben aber einen etwa 2-3mm zu tiefen/langen/breiten Stecker (siehe Foto). Stehen also über, sodass das PC-Gehäuse nicht geschlossen werden kann.

    Konkret geht es um eine gebraucht gekaufte P510 Workstation von Lenovo. Lenovo selbst ruft für alleine ein Kabel indiskutable 50€+ auf.

  26. #WIP - Been meaning to update my site design for a little while now.

    One day you like a new #design idea, the next you hate it. My design process involves a lot of testing ideas. But I'm trying to wrap things up and stop redesigning things. 😁

    My latest #Inkscape lesson has been to use Swatches! It took getting used to, but holy cow working with the same set of colors is so much easier now!

  27. nice walk down memory lane. I believe my earliest experience with MacOS was System 7.5.3 so a little past the revelation of 7.0 but still far enough back that I remember stuff like Conflict Catcher, using AppleScript for everything, the controversy of Copland and the sad reign of Gil Amelio before Jobs returned.

  28. addendum for the “Carney is better than PP crowd”

    OK... Yes, Carney is better than PP.

    However, he is worse than Harper (according to multiple reports now)

    That means the current hierarchy is:

    Harper
    Carney
    Poillievre.

    The *only* option for progressive, environmentally conscious, and patriotic Canadians appears to be @avilewis

  29. One of the many things I love about Quebeccers, is they care about the environment and they also know a fraud when they see one.

    Mark Carney is a fraud on the environment.

    “Oui, Carney est pire qu’Harper en environment”

    I don't think I need to translate the headline. :)

  30. Plenty of bad and annoying things about Apple and iCloud in particular, but one good experience I've always had is if I buy something on the App Store or a subscription or anything through the Apple Store, and then ask for a refund within a few hours or days, they pretty much always refund it in full within 24 hours of the request.

    It makes doing things like trying out a bit of software... realizing I don't like it or it doesn't do what I want... and ‘giving it back' much easier.

  31. Great article by CBC Meteorologist and Seismologist Johanna Wagstaffe on how BC Ferries watches the weather.

    There's an “Operational Limitations Matrix”... ie. deciding Go/No Go based not just on the weather, but on capabilities of each individual ship on the route and the docking points on that route.

  32. For the love of god, we've had transcription software for decades that will take your spoken words and transcribe them without trying to add in other stuff. Yes, sometimes they get the words wrong, but at least they're not hallucinating about topics they are not designed to understand or opine about.

    #AI #CanPoli #CdnPoli #Medical #HealthCare #Doctors #AIHallucinations

  33. “Transcripts created by 12 of the 20 programs contained incorrect information like capturing a different drug than was prescribed by the doctor.”

    12 of 20 is a 60% failure rate.

    Seventeen of the 20 systems missed key details about patients’ mental health issues. “

    17 of 20 is a 85% failure rate.

    THESE SYSTEMS ARE NOWHERE CLOSE TO ACCURATE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR HEALTH MATTERS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS IMPORTANT.
