@Esten51 @ABDanielleSmith I agree with permanent MST, but I'll still take this over the old flip flop.

@ABDanielleSmith It’s 9:00 PM, May 2nd here in Edmonton and it’s still light outside. At the height of summer it will be light at 11:30PM. DST was never meant for Alberta latitudes, it was intended for southern regions like Texas where summer sunsets are at 7PM. Permanent MST!

@jaycurrie It's not CPUs in devices that are the problem, it's the user experience. Is the lack of manual mixture control the problem, or the feeling you're driving a computer down the highway? Electronics aren't the enemy, the problem is the other intentional design decisions.

A guy in Alberta is selling tractors with zero computers. No software. No sensors. Just a diesel engine you can fix with a wrench. 400 American farmers tried to buy one after a single interview. Sometimes the moat isn't more features. It's less.

@ShamashAran That screams manager vibes. Running a tech team is about telling people what to do, not understanding it yourself. Good managers do both. Bad managers ... well this is what happens.

Vibe coating is a truly bad idea unless you understand the vibe.

🧵🚨 BREAKING: Miles Taylor: "Anonymous," former DHS Chief of Staff, Google security executive launched a website called GTFO ICE that collects your full name, email, phone number, and zip code to join an anti-ICE "rapid response network." And publishes the user infromation via a public API. 🚨 17,662 people have signed up. The sign-up data is exposed on a public REST API. No true authentication. No rate limiting. Full records: names, emails, phone numbers, zip codes, timestamps. The man who ran the third-largest federal department (250,000 employees, $60 billion budget) who oversaw election security architecture and led counterterrorism operations, then served as Google's Head of National Security Policy... ...can't secure a sign-up form. But he does milk hundreds of thousands of NGO dollars on these credentials. While freeloading off his fame as the person who wrote the infamous NYT article "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration." And despite me pinging @MilesTaylorUSA about this 12 hours ago, the REST API is still wide open and exposed as of now. Everything has been turned over to FBI, HSI, ICE, and more agencies. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

It’s not a sovereign wealth fund. It’s a debt-fuelled corporate slush fund.
Carney’s fund is not built on wealth or savings.
It’s built on borrowed money, and it’s going to gamble tax dollars on risky corporate handouts.

Bureaucracy is the process by which you take a problem you have identified, and ensure that there is a powerful group of people whose paycheques depend on the continued existence of that problem.

@ShamashAran I remember when Amazon wasn't just an online dollar store.

Who here is old enough to remember when one of amazons' huge differentiators was their amazing customer service?

Oh my God, NEVER buy an Apple product from @amazon I bought a Mac Book Pro that arrived today, and the computer inside had been swapped out along the way - it's a different model, different serial numbers, is used, and so on Yet I have been on the phone with Amazon for 2 hours getting a constant run around as various people claim they can't help me because the computer (that I don't have!) has an active Apple ID so they can't accept the refund I have filed a police report already for the fraud, but it seems impossible to get any help

@ShamashAran 350+ syscalls, 153 processes on my "minimal" installation, I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. Ever think maybe we need to rethink the modern OS?

Why don’t you go max and show the full context of that conversation entirely and not just a screen grab. It was an OBVIOUS joke mocking the absurd neocon notion (at that time) that any body who had a single question toward Erika was guilty of accusing her of murder. Insert the full context and the specific person I was mocking in that thread for sharing that sentiment—and for once, stop lying.

A ton of Conservatives don't realize it yet, but Canada Strong Fund will be backed by Canadian resources.
Gold in the ground, chromite, oil. This not only incentivizes production, it creates wealth.
Instead of inflationary $ printing, every $ allocated is to be asset backed.

If a tree falls in a forest, does it press the red 🔴 button or the blue 🔵 button?
English
@IanRunkle This reminds me of the old tree in a forest.
If a tree falls in a forest, does it press the red 🔴 button or the blue 🔵 button?
English
The button test as it'd be applied:
"You are brought into a room with two buttons. A disaffected customer service representative with poor English makes a half-hearted attempt to explain the buttons, and then shrugs helplessly when you ask for clarification. You must press one."

@ShamashAran Environment Canada decided to replace the watch/warning system with colour codes. Yellow, orange and red. I'm already tired of the joke that gets repeated every snow warning.
English
I always have to remind my husband the difference between a "watch" and a "warning"
A lot of people struggle with this, and I dont quite get why, but its obvious the NWS needs to improve its verbiage. I just... don't know how, cuz, again, it's obvious to me.
I always jokingly use this explainer.

@BlackDumpling LostRiver404 comes from the game Subnautica. There's a biome, a mysterious underwater tunnel, called the Lost River. 404 is the http status code for not found, which is the only number I could think of with any correlation to lost river.

@IanRunkle I worked at a place where if you attempted to access a VIP's account, even legitimately in the course of your job, even if you didn't successfully bring up the account, you got questioned. What happened here shouldn't be a demotion, it should be a criminal investigation.

The fact that this guy is still employed is a shocking breach of the public trust.
The guy misusing his powers to go after domestic partners CANNOT BE TRUSTED WITH POWERS.
There is no case for keeping him on.

Charter statements from the government are just marketing.
It could be a law to execute all Catholics without trial and the Charter statement would say it upholds Charter values.
You want to see a real Charter statement, start making government officials personally liable for infringements.
