    What country do Canadians threaten to move to when they don't like election outcomes?

    Congratulations to Dr. Cooley, and to you! And welcome to Canada!

    I saw the news on Twitter, and said to myself "Hey, I know that person!" It's amazing how familiar we humans feel with each other using only social media...

    I've never played #Minecraft - Is this #Federated software? Is it #FreeSoftware? If so, how can Microsoft control what's happening on someone's private server? Even if such code existed in a #FreeSoftware application, I would have thought there'd be a fork that eliminates that external control. It's time for that now.

    But if #Minecraft isn't #FreeSoftware aka Free/Libre Open Source Software, then I really have no sympathies for people running or using it...

    https://freeradical.zone/@thenewoil/108539077382008407 Microsoft bans in #Minecraft will soon carry over to privately run servers as well.

    One commenter said "Seems like there is a really simple solution here: Don't be a toxic asshole on a public server." But once $CORPORATION starts interfering with privately hosted servers in any way, those servers' independence and existence is permanently threatened.

    It's as bad as it sounds. -- @sullybiker https://sully.site/@sullybiker/108544530478111464

    Mind you, there's something charming and soporific about listening to a professional baseball game with an old-fashioned, laid-back announcer. But most of those have retired... #ASMR

    Applies to all professional #Sportsball: begging to see overpaid drug-users doing something that the rest of us would gladly do for free.

    When I walked our dog we'd pass the local baseball field, and we'd stop and watch the game for hours. But the one time I went to a professional baseball match (Toronto Blue Jays in the Skydome) it was a profound disappointment. Couldn't really see the action on the field, lots of delays between plays, bombarded with advertising from all sides, and TOO LOUD!

    When I was a young pup, just started my first job. Woke up at 4:30 one day, panicked, "I've slept through the whole day, I'll get fired!!"

    It was 4:30am, of course. Don't recall if I got back to sleep or not.

    I woke up around 02:45, thinking it was 07:45. Before 03:00, I realized it wasn’t time to get up. I still really feel the lack of #sleep 💤.

    "A Supreme Court that doesn't give a damn what the public wants ... is exactly what a Supreme Court is for, actually."

    True enough. But elected representatives in government *are* supposed to do what people want, that's why they get elected. If they had fulfilled their obligations to actually represent the citizens' wants then the Supreme Court wouldn't have to act at all.

    It all boils down to a need for #ProportionalRepresentation with multi-member districts so all views are represented in goverment.

    People, not all people but most people, are angry about the wrong thing.

    I agree that Roe v Wade being canceled is a bad outcome. I agree that women should have the right to their bodies, but here's my possibly unpopular take:

    A Supreme Court that doesn't give a damn what the public wants ... is exactly what a Supreme Court is for, actually.

    @vriska I would wait before celebrating just yet. Never underestimate the Leafs ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

    It seems the state-of-the-art for autonomous vehicles is worse than I thought. Still, with the number of bad drivers on the road now, replacing them with bad robocars is still likely to be an improvement.

    Cars With Active Driving Assistance Tech Crash During AAA Test

    >Despite lofty performance promises from carmakers seeking an autonomous future, recent testing from AAA revealed “inconsistent performance” with more basic active driving assistance (ADA) that resulted in vehicles crashing repeatedly into cars and a bicycles.
