You can now find me over on the fediverse at @[email protected] https://t.co/C0ZwfJrDcY

Please note: This move has nothing to do with Twitter/X/Elon, I genuinely don't care about that. ActivityPub and the Fediverse is just more interesting to me right now.

@KnowBe4 @kevinmitnick You're #FreeKevin. Enjoy whatever the universe has next in store for you. This is the passing of an inspiration to me; damn. I wish your family and friends all the best. Thanks for all you've given the community for all these years. You will be missed.

Good read, if you can get past the obnoxious clickbait title. It could have been titled "Thriving as a Software Developer With the Help of AI", but I guess that would cause too little drama? https://t.co/VfG0yjDS6C

This is a win-win-win (environment-store-me). We need more smart stuff like this "App connects Kingston businesses, consumers to reduce food waste" https://t.co/DrLGK5N8Dj

Thank you for the $274.50 for the Climate Action Incentive Government of @Canada! I think this is a really smart program: Increase the cost of polluting for everyone to show the real price, then provide a rebate to give people time to adjust to reality.

Dear random person walking towards me on the sidewalk. Thank you! The huge smile 😁 on your face was contagious and made me smile too, despite a challenging day. We should all smile a little more; for ourselves and for others.

A week ago my son asked if I could get the chess board and play♟️. Proud dad. Yes, please! I now believe that was a well orchestrated move... A few days later my daughter totally schooled me, and was promptly declared house-grandmaster. Checkmate.

I can't believe my order was Not Found.😆

It sounds like Medium has a really well thought out stance on Ai-assisted content. Labelling it is the right approach IMO. The "banning it" stance others have taken won't age well.

Thundersnow! It is a real thing, and #ygk just experienced it. Yes, that was just thunder and lightning in a snowstorm! That's only the 2nd time I have heard thunder in the snow and 1st time I've seen lightning! https://t.co/pEWXPFSlQy

Visiting space aliens, upon seeing humans oppress — or kill — one another over who they worship, who they sleep with, what side of an arbitrary line they’re born on, or how absorptive their skin is to sunlight, would surely race home & report no sign of intelligent life on Earth.
