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.

“… how that policy fits in their low-rise community.” Hahaha you live close to Algonquin college and a 2-story building just busts the great character of your community huh? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/proposed-rooming-house-discord-near-algonquin-college-a-sign-of-things-to-come-1.7204363

@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.

@dairpo @grivettcarnac lol. This city. Baseline could have BRT tomorrow if the city cared. As-is it’ll never be

They’d probably argue conservation but in this city it reads to me like bailing out some developer who got in deep into some land they couldn’t build on even with their usual shenanigans — City acquires 22 hectares in the Carp Hills

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.

I see the liberals are racing ahead with fundamentally altering the CBC. Literally the first I hear of this was the other day when they appear concerned the CBC cares about truth, journalism, and protecting by democracy. Not sure what the plan is https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/media-expert-panel-future-cbc-radio-canada-1.7202765

So ads? "Canadians need a strong, innovative and independent public broadcaster that is ready to meet the challenges of this period of transformation and upheaval in news and content creation," St-Onge said in a media statement Monday.
