It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you

I just encountered this #BBC article about the #airport wait times for #travel to/from the #EU. I don't blame them for implementing the #EES considering what so many other countries have done. But why would you roll it out without pre-registration and visa exemption when you plan to
The City of Vancouver has just announced they had a $530 million surplus last year.

Canadians + Americans go to Europe and Asia, ride fast electric trains, come back home, and ask: "Why can't we have nice things here?"

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@mconley/116381408833403521 This seems to happen out here whenever I put my snow boots away. Oddly, this year I didn't take them out, so I can't be blamed for the snow that we had a couple weeks ago!

I understand that I clicked the "Allow" button without careful reading, but why would #CoPilot force delete files skipping the recycling/trash bin? Normally, I'd say it's a good thing I use #git but it deleted a file that's in gitignore. Thankfully still easily recoverable, but that's

As @doctorow.pluralistic.net says, it’s the digital equivalent of asbestos. We’ll be clearing toxic remnants of it out for decades.

I've been updating the #jobDescription section for past #jobs to be more results-oriented following my own advice in cynthiang.ca/2023/11/02/getting-bette... For many years, I closely tracked my work, so this is one way I have
