My main social media use is on the Fediverse. You can't trust corporate backed social media, this place will get enshittified sooner or later. Wake me up when a user with a mini-pc or raspberry pi can self host this maybe.

Just a PSA about my profile. I am not active on here much. I am much more active on Mastodon/Fediverse (@[email protected]). I will probably get engaged on Blusky again once @gandersocial.bsky.social is up and running as I signed up to be a tester on there.

No official list yet exists of the megaprojects to be fast-tracked under C-5. But that doesn't mean we can't make educated guesses.

Does anybody else use a bell/horn when approaching tight blind corners? I've been biking almost everyday for a few weeks now and I noticed I am the only one it seems doing so.

What’s going on with Edmonton’s bike lanes?
They’ve been making headlines — and not always for the right reasons. The good news: our network is growing, and bike use is surging.

One of my worries is that even if there is no violence, Trump and his supporters will generate realistic AI video showing that it did.
Is there a game plan for that?
I’m planning on attending a protest on Saturday, anyway, of course.

The State Department claimed a plan to buy thousands of armored Teslas was left over from the Biden administration. A document obtained by NPR shows the Biden plan was far smaller.

So a skater from the previous Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 remaster said he's in a new remaster which is coming out soon. Vicarious was swallowed up by the Call of Duty team so it's fitting that there is a teaser in one of the maps. What worries me though is it's being developed by a different team?
