Thankful for having access to air conditioning this year and spare time to enjoy the summer on my own terms.
@hub Yeah, it's a fun death spiral because the regressive government policies make life harder on voters and leave them with less room to actually think and learn while they struggle to survive every day. Coupled with the destruction of the education system, I'm not feeling envious of the next few generations.
@hub It's unfortunate that this has been openly the case for years and people keep voting them in despite it. 😮💨
The wait times in Ottawa healthcare suck, but the quality and cost is pretty decent. Saddens me that the Ontario government is working so hard to ruin it.
Seems the StandardJS code style checker can't really be called that anymore because it hasn't been updated in a couple of years and already can't parse new syntax.

Websites gotta figure it out, with the asking about cookies thing. I can’t keep living like this

«I don’t need a stair-climbing wheelchair that costs $30,000 and requires a maintenance crew. I need better doorknobs and or a ramp. But a ramp is boring. You can't make investors have a hard on for a ramp that doesn't connect to the cloud. You can’t give a TED Talk about a ramp. You can’t get venture capital funding for a slightly wider doorframe.»
@datenwolf @lidsel @mathieui @GossiTheDog I feel you. I'm considering making a replacement for unix ed with some bits added for LSP support and calling it a day.
Dang, maybe I'll actually get a pair of these now that the reverse engineering has gotten pretty far.
@tiefling Me when I forget to eat for too long. 😈

CIRA is the Canadian Internet Registration Authority.
Its CRM system is Salesforce. Its email is hosted by Microsoft. Its website is fronted by Cloudflare.
So much for "digital sovereignty". When organizations such as CIRA don't even make the effort, how do they expect others to do so? Very shameful.
So far Broken Reality 2000 is exactly what it needs to be as a sequel. 🥰
The most effective alarm clock is the monthly fire alarm test. 🙃
@HowsThatNow @tiefling @VulpineDruid If you're poly curious I'd strongly suggest reading The Ethical Slut. It really helped prep me for dealing with jealousy and knowing what to expect. TBH even monogamous people could stand to learn this stuff to help in their relationships. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ethical_Slut

Lest you think that union-busting is strictly a private sector activity, my best friend works for one of the University of California’s libraries. She is paid way less to work for their library than a normal person in her job would be, by policy, just because it’s the library. About 40% less. The university told her that’s just how they do things and that was policy.
The library unionised. The school tried to bust the union. Correspondence about it “mysteriously” disappeared. They stated their official position was that a union was not needed. They tried to pressure the employees involved to stop. They cried “budget” and blah blah. Usual nonsense.
They voted to unionise anyway.
The school is being dragged to the negotiating table.
Just in case you thought that this shit didn’t happen in the public realm.
@HowsThatNow @tiefling @VulpineDruid my hot take is that more than three active partners is inviting turbulence. One of my pals got too excited and was dating like 5 people and it blew up in their face. 🥲 Also different if you are solo poly vs everyone dating I guess.
@HowsThatNow @tiefling @VulpineDruid I have some relationship anarchist friends that have what I mighy call a "primary" partner who they don't live with or refer to as such for example. 🤷
@HowsThatNow @tiefling @VulpineDruid It really depends. there's as many variations as there are queer relationships. A lot of folks don't like to use terms like "primary" and adopt a more relationship anarchist style. Usually poly people call partners they live with "nesting partners". Time allocation is an eternal struggle. Also helps when you have different commitment levels and needs. E.g. my partners that are married don't need as much, wheras I see my nesting partners every day.
Ann Droid is so me. 🥲
