   Dear Canada, if you can't keep the smoke on your side of the border you need to stop having wildfires. It's rude.

   I just read infosec.exchange/@jerry/112887… again and it just hit me that "new kid on the block" Mastodon has been around for over 8 years already! The "Mastodon Network" era is now most of Fediverse history!

   The Fediverse is 16 years old since May[1] and Mastodon has been up for 8 years since March[2], so 2024 marks the year when Mastodon has been on the Fediverse for the majority of the time the network has been around.

   Of course, for the vast majority of fedizens, Mastodon has always been around and their first server was a Mastodon server, and for many, the part of the Fediverse that runs on Mastodon is the #MastodonNetwork , but as of this year we have passed a milestone where that perspective is not entirely objectively wrong by yet another measure.

   It's called "polygonal Lesbian masonry" because the angles are not straight.

   Where was that post on tumblr or twitter or something that went along these lines:

   "[My favorite Twitter interaction of all time was that person who claimed that you can change a person's mind if you have the facts on your side and you present studies and evidence, so I presented the studies and evidence that you can't, and they went 'well, I still believe you can']"

      @Kermode @Marc ODF support isn't great, but Office's own OOXML is also XML+zip.

      It's easier feeding Excel and Word HTML files though, if you're producing it yourself from scratch. You just name them xls or doc and the Office apps silently accept and parse them. You can export documents and spreadsheets as (very messy) HTML to get an idea what kind of structures they will expect.

      Das kann für einiges als Begründung reichen, aber bei weitem nicht für alles. Man muss z.B. nicht beim Geisteradeln direkt auf den entgegenkommenden Verkehr halten, man kann auch Nachts mit Licht fahren und man kann so ein wenig darauf achten, dass man niemanden gefährdet.

      @Ryan "lofenyy" Medeiros For the four days we spent there, it was pretty nice, only threatened to rain on the last day.

      To answer your earlier question, no need for a EU passport, US passport gets an automatic 90-days tourist visa at the border. No monie is a challenge, especially with the recent inflation, but hitch-hiking is still alive and well.

      @Ryan "lofenyy" Medeiros How expensive is a passport renewal? Also, if you aren’t picky about the time and place, you can find round-trip flights from Edmonton to Europe around CA $750.

    and our clear favorite:

      Ich hatte schon einmal eine Gruppe von Jugendlichen, die mitten in der Nacht ihre E-Scooter so direkt vor dem Eingang einer Drogerie abgestellt hatten, so dass der Eingang effektiv blockiert war. Auf meine Bemerkung, dass sie doch fünf Meter weiter fahren könnten, um dein Eingang nicht zu blockieren, kam ein "Blablabla" zurück.

      Still not young as Sanna Marin though. She is 38 now, but was 34 when she became Prime Minister of Finland, and she didn't have a former Prime Minister for father. She grew up with a mom and stepmom after her alcoholic dad left.

      Not only her dad, but Shinawatra's aunt was also Prime Minister. She was 44 when she was elected in 2011.
