Mauve 👁💜 @mauve@mastodon.mauve.moe

I am very grateful to live in Canada, and for all of the privilege that affords me. I also feel strongly that we can do much better and many different people in this country are not having their needs met… which is inexcusable because we are a very well off country.
Things we can do better:
- reconciliation and land back
- housing
- climate
- environment
- income inequality
- healthcare
- mental health/homelessness/toxic drugs
Canada can and should do better day!

corporate centralization is killing the web. everything we were told would never happen is happening. every hysterical alarmist has proven to have been understating the risks.

Americans: I use miles and pounds

Europeans: I use kilometres and kilograms

Canadians: [snorting a line of assorted measuring systems] I'm 5'3", I weigh 150Ibs, horses weigh 1000kgs, my house is an hour away and I drive 80 km/h to get there, I need a cup of flour and 1L of milk

I have to admit I kind of enjoy the likes of Reddit and Twitter making their silos unusable. There's hope something better will come out of that!

Since I'm seeing a new wave of people saying they plan to leave Twitter, you may like my browser tool that takes the zip file of your Twitter export and returns a zip file of a web site that lets people browse and search your tweets. You can just upload the files wherever you normally host html and it'll work just fine.

while the rest of the world tries to solve every problem with algorithms, the pirates reopen user registration and avoid malware and spam with manual approval. all for the prosocial goal of keeping the craft alive and not losing a generation of uploaders with the closure of rarbg and other public trackers.

Today's new feature focus is on media controls:
- Mute control in the carousel view when applicable.
- Play/pause/track change controls in the quick settings panel for active players.
- Same controls on the lock screen

@SecurityWriter it was either this or sleep.
