#meta 's #whatsapp is on such downfall in The Netherlands over #privacy concerns that they feel the need to make a statement. Funnily enough the statement they make now on using the #metadata to #safeguard users against #spyware is such BS. You should use #Signal too. Signal has a feature to […]

Trying to stay in tonight, outside is increasingly disappointing and doesn't have cat or guitar. The last quarter of #PicksAndShovels should help, it's a page turner. By the end I should be ready to fall into blissful unconsciousness. A couple more fingers of whiskey should help too.

This is absurdly great, but I haven't read a single blog post or news article about it. A fully open source, offline-first alternative to Notion that's a collab between the French and German governments because they want to host documentation securely and on their own terms. THIS is what Europe […]

Someone reminded me today 9 years ago I submitted my first post on Mastodon—using curl on the command line, since there was no interface at the time. That's how the journey began! 9 years is a long time to be doing something. Those early years are still fresh in my mind though.

Happy Ides of March. Please celebrate appropriately.

CANADIAN POLITICS UPDATE The Liberals are now the Conservatives of 20 years ago. The Conservatives are Maple MAGA. The NDP which just lost a bunch of voters to the shiny new Liberal are our "left wing" party which in Europe would be regarded as centrist. Thanks for your attention. #CDNPoli

A REMINDER ABOUT VOTING (for next time, if you're lucky enough to get a next time): You do NOT vote for a party whose policies you 100% support. You vote AGAINST the Nazis, for WHOEVER stands the best chance of keeping them from forming a government. Remember, you vote AGAINST, not FOR.
