Life is a preposterous horror.

Money speaks for money, the devil for his own
Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone?

The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from the goose.

@msquebanh Preserved Duck Eggs are 1. Not something I knew existed and 2. Something I really want to try now that I know about #1

Hoping for a Mad Max movie where they run out of fuel and vehicles and they're forced to chase each other on bicycles.

@timberwraith Okay, easy enough, and one filmed right here in Québec:

@timberwraith Against all odds and all expectations, the movie is something that I enjoyed watching and have watched more than once. I would recommend it.

I have just had a message from Microsoft on my Windows 10 desktop that all support is ending for Windows 10 on October 25th.
My computer isn't compatible for Windows 11, even if I wanted it.

I am only moderately tech savvy, so I'm very nervous about installing Linux Mint ( recommended by quite a few blogs etc). Where would I find tech support if it goes wrong?

Edit: muting this now as I've had such a good response from all you super people.

@junesim63 2025, which gives some time. I imagine you get support the same way you do anything else and these days by search strings on Google with the +reddit modifier.

@PatrickoftheG@mastodon.social avatar

@junesim63 I am about at that stage myself, and have been for a little while, it's apparently easy to just throw Mint / Ubuntu on a little USB memory stick and boot from there so you can get a feel for how it works.

And then goodbye Microsoft, thanks for nagging me about your new versions I didn't want and then moaning about how I don't seem to care enough about their new versions, which I already didn't want, to upgrade my machine for them.

Special thanks to the nice mattress store for not asking for my e-mail address.

Haiti has a troubled relationship with slavery, what with being full of slaves who were liberated thanks to the French Revolution and then reenslaved, and then freed themselves, and then made to pay reparations.

This Memorial Day, I ask you to remember the soldiers who died in the Marine Invasion of Haiti a war ::checks notes:: about invading Haiti and reinstating slavery again to build infrastructure for the United Fruit Company.

9/11 never forget they hate us for our freedom.

What's your favourite RCMP scandal, ? Others can play by adding in fun incidents involving their gendarmerie too.

Once upon a time in Alberta, there was an Albertan farmer who complained about the pollution from a nearby oil site. He complained a lot. He might have even tried bombing them. The oil company didn't like him.

The oil company convinced the RCMP to bomb their infrastructure, which they did, so they could pin it on the farmer. The horsey police did so

Bonus Points: You'd be surprised as the number of times someone at the RCMP thought up the words "let's do a bombing" or "let's pay someone to do a bombing" and everyone stopped, saluted the flag, and declared this a fine tool for use in their arsenal. It's frankly ridiculous. So many times.

Here's a question you might be asking yourself.

How can we take the Inuit, get them to give up their Inuit ways, and make them live in modern settlements? Why not a campaign of assassinating their sled dogs for ::checks notes:: health and safety?

I do not know why police love killing dogs so much, it feels very international.

A thing I find funny about Americans and the American mindset is that they truly believe, if the other guy wins, or the courts decide, all those regulatory agencies will go away.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, they don't really exist right now if you have the money available to play the game. All the fight is just so that the players won't even have to pay the right bribes in the future. Pardon me. Not bribes. Campaign donations and PACs.

Before anyone gets too weepy, allow me to remind you, or inform you, that the “mom & pop/independent” vet clinics have paid vet techs utterly shit wages for the work they do for decades.

Anyone trying to act like the techs are treated well now and will be hurt so badly by this is at best ignorant and at worst the vet who runs their own clinic and pays their techs shit.

@bynkii Reminds me of the privatization of funeral homes under national chains.

Ladies, gentlemen; the people who have been extorting you for thousands and thousands of dollars, at your time of greatest need, to mutilate a corpse, have been bought out by people who are going to do the same thing for slightly more dollars.

These people are universally fuckers shed no tears.

I never really formally posted a "coming out" post but I guess to keep people on the same page:

SirTapTap -> SerTapTap (gender neutral)

Any Pronouns -> She/Her

Cis -> Trans

? -> Genderfluid

I've been making little changes for a month or so now, still lots of text to fix.

I'll probably be commissioning a girlier TapTap and some rebranding here and there:
Let me know if you have any emoji/branding etc tips. No idea what I'm doing

@kaylee Last year I had a tornado warning, and then about a week later I had a tornado warning, and then later that afternoon I had a maritime tornado warning.

I live in Montreal, Canada.

I am not liking this new climate.
