Is this a cute write up of the difficulties in inter generational communication or a tone deaf essay by a boomer who’s generation has caused multiple existential problems and torn up every social program they could? I guess we’ll just have to all get along, eh? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/first-person-generation-gap-boomers-millennials-1.7211033

@stephanie my parents are pretty progressive as this stuff goes but the older they get the more I see how far behind they are.. and how far the next generation are going to be from me.. hopefully I will have the wisdom to keep my unhelpful mouth tf shut when I’m 70

CBC reinventing OTA news rather than just doing good written journalism. Sigh. https://www.cbc.ca/news/editorsblog/editor-blog-local-news-streaming-1.7212207

Who’s responsible? The mayor of neoliberalism, Jim Fucking Watson, and the corrupt conglomerate led by SNC Lavalin.

So we have via rail tickets booked for August and naturally I loaded the tickets in Apple Wallet… then a few days later I got an email saying the schedule was going to change and now I’ve gotten 2 new sets of tickets and I’m sick of adding and deleting tickets 🥸 I should be able to just use the same set of tickets regardless of what schedule changes but I’m annoyed at this process. If the time changes by 5 minutes and I need a whole new set of tickets? Gesus…

@grivettcarnac your QR code is the same if that helps.. but your seats, car, or worst case even train might change.

I can’t believe how pervasive Ring doorbells have become. (Never mind all the other brands out there.)

They’re everywhere.

I don’t like it.

@shawnhooper @casseagull my limited cameras are from unifi. All local storage which gives me peace of mind that I’m the only one looking. Lots of critters but there’s a shocking amount of traffic in my dead end laneway

I like how governments seem to be on the hook for all anti theft measures because automakers have completely failed consumers and, it seems, convinced everyone that it’s not their responsibility

Like these ghouls extract billions in subsidies, spy on their customers to the extent, apparently, of reporting on how much sex you’re having along with location and driving habits… but not the basics like remotely secure radio systems or even serial numbers.

I wonder if there has been a time other than now when more of the NCC pathways along the Ottawa River (both sides) have had so many closures, other than during flooding and rehabilitation. It's kind of astounding how much of it is closed and detoured.

@casseagull barely accessible. The ottawa river paths near downtown are basically gone from my mental map. If the close Alexandria we’ll loose the river and gatineau from the east for a generation.

@grivettcarnac on a four lane divided highway (baseline). Facing a parking lot. Next to a two story house that looks exactly like the proposed building. On a huuuge lot. Near a university. People have lost their fucking minds about shitty suburbs and the reality of what they’re going to look like in 30 years.

Recruiter desperation seems to be on the rise again, phone is ringing more often from recruiters who still have my resume floating around from when I last shared it 15+ years ago.

I went to have a look at LinkedIn after reading an article that "LinkedIn is the new Twitter", it's looking about the same as usual.

Firefox was struggling with it, AdNauseum was getting really excited about clicking a bunch of new ads that I don't see.

A whole bunch of people in my organization have started using a huge font in their emails for accessibility reasons as if programs don't have built in font handling that make them more accessible for their users.

As someone with attention problems, I find it very hard to read for the opposite reason because it's too big and makes it hard to focus.

@casseagull default only fonts in email. I like HTML emails but I’m like this close to disabling html mode.
