@canadaehx Jacques Plante was a badass. He’s also a distant relative of mine, so I might be biased :p

@accidentalciso

If my life is any indication mine will be: “Maybe he shouldn’t have tried”

@gamingonlinux I Kickstarted this so long ago, I had to go check to be sure I had.

I think it’ll be awesome though.

Better late and functional than early and buggy.

On behalf of the vast majority of Canadians, I'd like to apologize for the creation of Jordan Peterson on our soil. He must have been raised by the geese. Sorry. Sincerely.

Peterson is about to lose his license. The Ontario College of Psychologists doesn't care at all about politics. They care that he's a grifter who routinely violates their code of conduct.

Enjoy this video of Peterson arguing with Peterson.

@Gargron

Demand doesn't necessarily mean something is a good idea though?

There's a lot of demand for centralisation, but that would be a really bad idea.

@thelinuxEXP @geewiz @atmorojo

I had not even noticed you couldn’t quote
@Gargron put it both succinctly and eloquently.

@geewiz @atmorojo I don’t know why I didn’t think of just looking for opinions online… The main Mastodon dev puts it perfectly. Can’t disagree with it now.

@gamingonlinux

It's part of my plans for tonight! Can't start a year disorganized.

This, Humm, hit me in the feels. I am one of those “computer people” and I need to connect to the world more.

Thanks for sharing!

I needed to read this today. My New Years revolution is to live life vibrantly, like a benevolent alien.

I think it might help. 🧡

@msh seems to me like the best time to do it!

Happy New Year!

The first unionized Amazon warehouse in the U.S.
The first unionized Chipotle in the U.S.
The first unionized Apple Store.
The first unionized Trader Joe's.
260+ unionized Starbucks stores.
370+ worker strikes across the country.

2022 was a monumental year for worker power.

Happy new year !!

#2023 will be a year for the books for and and I’m delighted to be here for it.

Cheers!

How being an "Alpha Male" works out in the end in real life:

- Trump is facing at least a dozen significant investigations & lawsuits.

-Musk bought Twitter for 10x its worth, revealed his true toxic self causing Tesla stock to crash, Twitter advertisers to leave, and users to flock to Mastodon

- Kanye’s hate-filled ego met consequences.

- Misogynist "influencer" Andrew Tate arrested

- Putin will lose & face the Hague.

Here's to 2023 being the end of the toxic "alpha male" cult.

@msh @thatgeoguy I wish that transit was more consistent in Gatineau and especially going to Ottawa. Uber from my place to downtown is 25$ one way on average but it’s an 8 mins drive.

I’ll test it more next summer but I already know it’s not very robust.
