Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

If you believe the tenets of neoliberalism what else can you do? Both parties are trapped by the logic of markets imho, there are differences but the main difference is branding

"The BC Conservatives got 69% of the seats with 48% of the vote. The BC NDP got 29% of the seats with 38% of the vote. The BC Greens got 2% of the seats with 11% of the votes, electing only 2 MLAs to represent their voters."

A blow-out could give Doerkson the ability to ignore the fringe — depending on the make-up of the elected MLAs.

We are maybe 3 days from breaking the all-time Fremont bike counter record for October, and there's a chance we could break the all-time annual record by Thanksgiving. We are 87K away and are currently recording an average of 3.8K per day. That rate will decline with cold and rain. Need 2.7K/day.

"The cost to refactor 10,000 lines of PHP code with DeepSeek V4 Flash is likely under $0.05, assuming you work file-by-file and keep conversations focused" ok that's kind of wild

Fun!

If you have a Green candidate in your riding and you're thinking about not voting at all, please consider that a lot of people don't even have a Green candidate to vote for. Do it for the rest of us. Saturday Oct 24

If you already did advance voting you should be put on a "stop calling me about it" list

I just want an electric Tercel for 15k is that so much to ask

Why doesn't this exist in Canada?

Less than a year after rejecting an all-party recommendation for an electoral reform citizen's assembly, David Eby is begging BC Greens to bail out the NDP, while keeping electoral reform off the table. See our write-up on this political cynicism: www.fairvote.ca/19/10/2026/d...

Genocide.

facebook is the only platform many local govs + schools use regularly. this was meta's intent, and one of the main reasons why the company is a lot closer to a telecom providing critical infrastructure than a publisher.

This is a real slide from a SoftBank presentation. These are the business geniuses allocating hundreds of billions of dollars to build data centres.

I've switched to DeepSeek entirely for small coding tasks and research, it's significantly faster than Claude and uses far less energy. The Chinese open source models are crushing it because they're optimizing for efficiency not profit.

Started using Melia melia.buxjr.com instead of Thunderbird for email, it's so much better and only $10 for a lifetime license #ubuntu #linux
