@hannu_ikonen@zeroes.ca Musk said in 2022 that Trump should “hang up his hat & sail into the sunset,” prompting Trump to hit back at the time that Musk would be “worthless” without government subsidies. Wow, can't believe I agree with both of them.

Don't forget to block and report any social media posts claiming Nov 1 is an acceptable time to start Christmas season. The war on Christmas starts now. Christmas has already began its first incursions and we can't let it gain any more ground.

@a@pdx.social I was comfortably ignoring that thread until I saw that URL and was like "wait, what? What the fuck? What? Fuck."

Luckily I re-read it and it wasn't as embarrassing as I'm sure some of the things on that github.io site are.

@a@pdx.social @sirjofri@mastodon.sdf.org I don't know if any of them are still valid. (Though I guess it was based on 4e, so nothing's technically changed..)

When education is outlawed only outlaws have education.

I hope the annual troll 9fans with Plan9/9front flame wars season ends soon. My email client is getting tired.

McGill "security" seizes N95s masks being delivered to protesters.

McGill is very committed to being on the wrong side of history.“I came to bring these masks to my students,” said the man, who teaches in the dentistry faculty. “I told them, ‘I’m a doctor at McGill and I care about the well-being of my students.’https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/goods-entering-mcgill-protest-encampment-seized

Protesters have now installed wooden pallets over the muddy lawn and erected several sun shelters, extending the protest’s presence on campus.Protestors do more safety-related maintenance on campus than university administration who claims encampment is a safety concern.

@dev@post.naskya.net Delete them.

@Snowshadow@mastodon.social Even if they were right.. I don't see any problem with having empty acts of symbolism here.

Mozilla neglecting its core product for years and losing marketshare while the suits that run it flail around wildly feels really true to its Netscape heritage.

@PatrickoftheG@mastodon.social @fu@libranet.de show him Canadian news today, the jealousy will go away quickly.

Managed to write something which, given a long/lat and zoom, can grab a single OpenStreetMap tile as a PNG under #plan9 and then retrieve it with hget.

Now I need to decide where to go from here. I can either read the window dimensions via /dev/window and try and grab multiple tiles to make an interactive map program or I can try to write a file system for interacting with OSM.

@peertube@framapiaf.org désolé. Je ne peux pas vous aider.

@kainoa@calckey.social if we've previously migrated off calckey.social will we have to redo our account migration settings? If so on which side?
