Officially sick of banks sending 2FA codes via SMS

The terrible builder-grade fixtures are my biggest gripe. My toilet sweats no matter if it's hot or cold outside.

Planners have been relegated to micromanaging private property while the public realm has been completely abdicated to traffic engineers, such that there's very little public realm left (unless you count cars as "the public").

Ended up watching a video on YouTube about escaping a Tesla Model Y after reading this, so at least I’m prepared.

I started doing the same thing. I don’t have Bluesky installed on my phone, so I usually just check it quickly when I’m on my PC.

But sure, let’s add AI before fixing search.

I reckon OneDrive doesn't use fuzzy search if "books" and "book" yield completely different results :/

GNOME window context menu showing standard window controls. No items include visible keyboard mnemonics or underlined shortcut letters.

GNOME continues to impress me overall. Some UX details feel overlooked, particularly keyboard affordances. For a desktop that benefits so much from keyboard flow, this context menu is begging for mnemonics.

Never thought I'd be sitting in a wine bar with The Postal Service playing

You have a plant. I'd say you escaped it long ago.

In this economy?

Digging the purple theme in Gnome

Being able to resize windows in GNOME with Super + secondary click is great, especially now that modern apps seem dead-set on removing all their chrome.

Sun Life’s app in a nutshell: “You’ll need to use the website for this.” Not for everything, but for enough basic tasks that you start wondering what actually made it into the app’s scope.

Trying to submit a dental claim for my dependent on Sun Life’s website is painful. It’s slow, outdated, and clearly built before responsive design mattered. They even say your first dental claim might need to be submitted on paper. In 2026. How is this real?

I will rent for life.

"Look at this transit station with no housing around it that's underutilized!"

Drive until you qualify
Finding a parking space
The traffic
Where will I park?
Traffic, traffic
Parking is a challenge

Banks dropping NSF fees from $45 to $10 is an admission the old fee was unjustifiable. They should be required to reimburse the difference to anyone charged an NSF fee over the last 5 years.

New Westminster topping my hometown 🫡

Today was a beautiful day

Did it snow in the GTA or something?

Driving now, which I do infrequently, always reminds me that this is a daily routine for many. It isn’t for me.

Office day on Monday. Really hoping the West Coast Express runs without issues this time. Had to drive last time.
