Me when I see English first language speaking Canadians and Americans who never lived in Quebec try to pronounce Montreal in French, or say “Mont Royal” instead of Mount Royal

Please. Stop. It’s pretentious and you sound like a dolt when you do it!

[Melissa Chen @MsMelChen]

Stop pronouncing “Maduro” and “Caracas” in a heavy wannabe Spanish accent unless you’re actually speaking in Spanish you pretentious twats

@zeetalkssports Like east coast you mean maritimes generally or coastal Nova Scotia? Cool regional nickname

[Matthew Basmadjian 🇨🇦🇦🇲 @MatthewPB63]

@NickyFrank30 @kapoano Somewhere in the Maritimes

And this is why Europe’s attempts to make Linux a thing outside enthusiast circles are a dead end

Until you solve this, it’s gonna stay niche

[Valentin Ignatev @valigo]

Linux is not gonna make it until this is fixed

People who spend 5 1/2 hours a day watching reels love saying shit like "I would never use AI, it degrades your critical thinking skills"

@SocTransitLover Consumer AI is mostly a joke, but enterprise-grade AI is legitimately powerful

I use it Claude Code in terminal everyday at work and it’s made work more efficient, and even fun at times

No idea what Rysana does though

@soygirlnat Too bad line 1 is soooooo slow! That’s like a 45min ride

[Matthew Basmadjian 🇨🇦🇦🇲 @MatthewPB63]

@soygirlnat It definitely is

@Dexerto A SLAPP suit. Unreal. The stubbornness is ridiculous

@FergusAristotle @mexicandyyyy And don’t forget the race-coded money transfer apps that are seldom integrated at bank level

I’ve offered constructive product ideas for etransfer only for Canadians to want to rip my head off for them, but like Venmo/CashApp/Zelle are awful in implementation

@MatthewPB63 @mexicandyyyy tfw its not just a % of bill but % of bill PLUS FLAT FEE.

how is the land of capitalism not negociating better deals?

[Matthew Basmadjian 🇨🇦🇦🇲 @MatthewPB63]

Not to say Canada doesn’t need to get its shit together (NO KIDDING it does!) but this is just pathetic now

@taxspendlib Tf did I just read? Like no shit it’s an ad!

Odds are the guy was paid in $1M worth of OpenAI shares aka 6 packs of Oreos a few months after it IPOs

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

This has quietly been a miracle month in medicine.

In the last 5 weeks we’ve got news on:

- retatrutide, the triple agonist GLP-1 from Lilly, basically melting fat and body-wide inflammation at record levels
- RevMed’s new pancreatic cancer drug showing unprecedented abilities to extend life
- small trial of a one-and-done PCSK9 gene editing therapy for slashing LDL cholesterol
- Mayo’s AI-assisted radiology showing vastly improved cancer detection
- this new therapy for metastatic solid tumors

This stuff is at varying levels of evidence. Retatrutide is ~100% on its way, other stuff needs more clinical trial data. But put it together and we’re maybe on the verge of majorly reducing the mortality of heart disease and cancer, the two leading causes of death in America.

@SpaceWalkerReal See what Claude gives you!

ChatGPT is fast losing relevance outside doing for-fun slop banter

Grok is basically a glorified search engine
