Post Canada's #OnlineNewsAct and Meta's ban on Canadian news content, sharing journalism on social media has been tough to say the least.

And yet The Tyee has seen much growth here on #Mastodon.

We want to see how far we can go. If you enjoy coming across Tyee stories on your Mastodon feeds, share our profile with your friends, or repost this toot, to help us get to 6,000 followers. πŸ˜πŸŒŸπŸ—ž

#Surf at the Jordan River mouth into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, #VancouverIsland, #BC, #Canada, on #BoxingDay.
Now I will detail what I meant by "malpractice." This morning, #MstdnCa sent out an #email using Mailjet, a third-party provider, asking for donations. Although the email has an one-click #unsubscribe header (by Mailjet), in the email body, the actual unsubscribe link (by Mailjet) is obscured using black text on black background; instead, the instance admin says to delete your account to unsubscribe. This is extremely deceptive and I consider this a severe breach of trust. #mastoadmin

not to brag, but:

I just ran an ffmpeg command off the top of my head and it did exactly what I wanted the first time around

so I guess that's it, I'm ready for retirement?

I turned around to go home for the day and laughed at the jenga block family created behind me by my co workers.

Never change, coworkers!

Yow, I just got successfully phished on the Facebook Android app. I clicked on "Your friend X tagged in a post" and this thing managed to put a browser window over the top of the FB app so it looked like I was still in the app, totally consistent style, and asked for a Facebook login, which I haven't done for years so I thought made sense. I fell for it, and I bet most people wouldn't have noticed it was sketchy, which I fortunately did; password hastily changed….

Dear #developers - there is no committee in the sky that decides the right tools, patterns or languages.

There are no anti-patterns, everything is situation dependent and we're all just kind-a doing our best trying to figure stuff out.

Let's try to switch our criticisms with kindness and create amazing software.

If I clowned myself this hard online, I’d delete my account.

Welp, time to #getFediHired I guess.

I can figure anything out. Lately I do #Python for Hollywood as a #TD (#blender3d, #Nuke, #Katana). Before that role, I built the render farm and did all the #IT for Tangent #Animation #Winnipeg for the first 4 years. #BSD #CCNA #lpic1

I like #dev life, but a *nix admin role is perfectly agreeable to me, albeit a bit boring since I learned to code. Local & Hybrid would be great, Remote is most likely what's gonna work. #rural

Available Nov 6.
