A buddy of mine produced a track with this really great artist from the UK. Please give it a spin to boost her profile in the algorithm.

Took the plunge and traded my 17-going-on-18 ICE vehicle in for an EV. This was my first week with it and I'm already out driving in a blizzard. Pray for me. Drive slow, stay safe. It's wild out there.

📢 Today, TekSavvy published a **Quarterly Transparency Report** about requests we got from police and how we handled them.

Last week, we published the report on Jan to Mar, 2025 and as usual, I’m summarizing that report here 🧵👇🏼

Good morning fedi! I hope you had a wonderful start to your day.

If you're looking for some music suggestions for today, KEXP just released a performance by Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs and if that's too heavy for you, maybe you'd prefer some Lemon Jelly.

It's a cruel universe out there […]

Ho lee cow, stop what you are doing and watch this video. It's about network theory and it explains so much about the current state of the [online] world, but it also shows how we can affect the outcome. I think it also indirectly highlights the importance of the fediverse, and might offer some […]

If you are ever in the market for a motorized standing desk and see a listing on the BestBuy Canada website from a company called MotionGrey, DON'T DO IT.

The product itself is perfectly fine but my control box went kaput in July. This didn't bother me since the desk is under warranty. I […]

Dear Honourable Minister,

I am writing to express deep concern and disappointment regarding the decision to ban the band Kneecap from Canada.

This decision plays into unnecessary hype and political theatrics rather than addressing real issues. While Kneecap may be considered “controversial,” […]

So, I know of this guy, Sam Pocker. Friend of a friend situation. He worked hard on this web series he put out on YouTube. It's an animated show about a guy who picks up fares on a magic flying banana, and listens to his passengers stories. You can catch it here […]

So this totally normal. WaPo reports that the EPA now says companies shouldn’t have to report planet-warming emissions

"The announcement amounts to a major rollback that would eliminate the primary means of tracking climate goals. The EPA framed it as a cost-cutting measure."

IDLES played in Montreal last night, but they were opening for another band, so they only played a short set. While they gave it their all, as they always do, the shortened set list really left me wanting. I did not stay for the headliner.

Americans, take note of what's happening in Nepal. That's how you overthrow a corrupt government.

Alien: Earth definitely pays lots of homage to the original movies. The 'future humans' are very Blade Runner. The direction is very Noah Hawley. I'm intrigued.

The Unix philosophy of "do one thing and do it well" was really proven to me today. I had installed Nextcloud thinking it would be a good replacement for the Google Apps suite. It's okay, but the photos management has been very frustrating. I installed immich today and the difference is night […]

Someone asked r/WhatShouldIDo about their kid, who is 15, and asked for condoms. My response was, "buy the fucking condoms," and I was called out for being hostile.

For context, the post implied that they wanted to "inform" the kid that their request was "not normal and not okay," to which my […]
