Grrrr, today's Wordle is an acronym. I didn't think we could use acronyms.

Don't use Omarchy

Productive week. I just brought multiple services in-house and cancelled subscriptions for 1Password, DigitalOcean, GitHub and Azure DevOps.

Day 20 (consecutive) of my renewed habit of retiring early enough to get a good hour of reading in bed. As a child I devoured books. As an adult late bedtimes prefixed by mind numbing TV happen too often. Current book: To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini

I just cancelled my @digitalocean.com account. I do not support organisations that align themselves with far-right, xenophobic partners, ie. Omarchy and DHH.

most expensive collection of shitty dotfiles and security vulnerabilities in human history

I am starting a new southwestern Ontario rail trail exploration. Today's was a warm up getting used to being back on my bike. ridewithgps.com/trips/410727...

Has anybody got experience with bitwarden and more specifically nodewarden? I want to cancel my 1Password account because of their support of DHH and his xenophobic rhetoric.

Amp up the number of voices and just stand in the crowd listening. Wow. Overwhelming and fascinating all at once.

At my local bakery picking up my usual sourdough, and they have a new Rosemary and Garlic version. Of course that is a mandatory choice.

Trump’s post just now about Canada’s economy vs. the latest jobs numbers:

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

I'm sure no-one in the @nytimes.com or any other major news outlet will call this statement genocidal. That will say more about them than 1.000 editions. This is genocidal rhetoric by a man with the power to turn it into reality. A failure to call Trump out is complicity Complicity in genocide.

Hey @1password.bsky.social, time to change course.

Another reason people should not be using X. It annoys, saddens, and embarreses me to know people that remain on this toxic platform.

Hey Doug…

Every decision Trump makes is to harm his own people. America renaming L. Ontario to L. America means every US atlas, map, scenic lookout plaque and other material has to be reprinted and paid for by Americans. The rest of the world including Canada will still use L. Ontario.

Don't want to burst the bsky bubble, but Twitter is BACK. No, not the X catastrophe. twitter.now. I am @tforster over there.

Cyclist was doored. Just say it, rather than this victim-blaming passive tone.

I just knocked my espresso over on my desk. And my first thought wasn't about my splashed keyboard or soaked papers. It was that I was really enjoying that coffee, and I'm going to miss that last half a cup.

Who's your favourite movie or TV character that shares your first name?

People who keep pointing out that golf courses use as much water as data centres as some sort of defence of data centres drastically underestimate the amount we also hate golf.

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

TIL the hardway that there is a wasp nest in my lawn.

Did Trump come through with his threat to bore everyone to death with a four hour "speech"?

There are many reasons to despise JIRA, but my current number 1 is that they make it so damn hard to find stories from a closed sprint. Even their built-in AI can't find those stories.

I think we just passed oops.

I have lost count of the number of tornado alerts I have received so far today. Easily more than 20.

Nice thing to see on my way home.

Trump's "planned" visit to New York for the basketball match has the city in an absolute turmoil. What are the odds he won't show up?

Don't Tell Comedy v2. First one a few weeks ago was quite funny. Have high hopes for tonight.

My hot take is that we should abolish the advertising industry as we know it. Outside of trade shows and catalogs, which people explicitly opt-into, advertising should be banned. No billboards, no banner ads online, nothing. Yes it would completely upend the internet, I'm not hearing a downside.

Amazing how I can build an entire app in a day using Cloudflare yet with AWS I spend an entire day trying to get a Lambda to talk to postgres

So did Trump stage this attempt just to promote his ballroom?

Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet.
