@_cjft @MarcNixon24 I live on HG with a Starlink. Have not had to think about internet since I installed it two years ago. (two people using it FT WFM). I have observed no variation in service with weather. That said, I’m also a proponent for terrestrial internet - Happy to see more funding.

@MarcNixon24 Northern Vancouver Island has major cloud cover and ocean rain storms regularly, Starlink suffers in those conditions.

That’s $5,400 per person. Starlink is $140 for standard internet or $70 for lower tier No maintenance required. But sure lets lay down a cable for internet
604RAW@604RAW

$24M undersea fibre-optic cable being built to bring better internet to Haida Gwaii The new cable from Kitimat to the B.C. archipelago will add resiliency for the 4,500 residents and end long outages that can last weeks or months impacting 911, education and businesses. The current cable gets damaged several times a year, especially in winter with treacherous repairs in Hecate Strait. The project is funded by Northern Development Initiative Trust and managed by community-owned GwaiiTel. Haida Nation president Gaagwiis Jason Alsop says it’s good for local artists and small businesses. GwaiiTel chair Sam Hall calls it the first stage for improving connectivity along B.C. north coast with better public safety like emergency alerts. Installation starts spring 2027 with full completion by winter.

@BrianNorgard Most tech people I know seemed to live in anxiety anyway, even before AI.

Almost every smart person I know who works in technology is experiencing extreme levels of anxiety. As if the rug is about to be pulled once and for all.

@Adam_Stirling Adam - as someone working in software, this is like watching a bomb go off. Most of the population sees the slop and asks why we’re boiling the oceans, but ask any developer working in the space and they’ll tell you this is a foundational transformation…

Love seeing original game disks from the 90's, made by one of 1000's of shareware distributors back in that era. These small operations helped spread shareware demos worldwide. They kept the full profit on these sales, and we'd benefit when people then paid us to get the full version of the game. Apogee pioneered this method of game marketing back in 1987 with our Kroz games.

i have reached acceptance and moving into excitement. our world as technologists has changed forever. the value of our domain knowledge is eroding at an accelerating pace. fear is a natural response, but in reality this is a great liberator.

Imagine this user interface anywhere else. Six identical, unlabeled switches. Just flip them until the thing you want happens! And what’s with some LED lights now taking half a second to illuminate? LEDs switch at data rates!

Wtf do you do when you don't get quite enough sleep to be functional but can't really nap, so you have to spend a day useless, unable to think, too tired to walk around outside, etc.? Do u just play videogames? Try to counteract with high dose stimulants?

When I was a young dev, I wrote code. As an old dev, I manage the chaos that comes from changing systems.

@CoastGuardCAN honest question - I live near C19. Given modern navigation technology, is a whistle bouy still effective? Is it possible to petition to have the whistle feature removed to quiet our coast?

This is how we do it 🎵 Check out the CCGS Sir Wilfred Grenfell crew replacing a navigational aid during buoy tending in #BritishColumbia. We’re responsible for more than 10,000 floating aids to navigation from coast to coast to coast!
