In order to download XCode, I have to create an Apple account, which involves giving Apple my phone number? No thanks.

OK, I got the strangest spam message today. It was someone asking if I performed liposuction, and claiming to want to book a consultation for their mother. I don't really understand what their scam is. Are they actually hoping to get responses from people who do perform liposuction? I can't imagine that they'd get very many responses, as a percentage of the number of messages they send out. But I guess sending spam is cheap. Or are they hoping to verify active email addresses from people responding and saying that they don't perform liposuction? It just seems like a really strange spam message to send.

Election day in Ontario today. Unfortunately, it looks like we're going to be stuck with the same government, or even a slightly worse version (stronger majority).

Oh, wow. I had forgotten that I had a recording of Copland's clarinet concerto. And by Benny Goodman, no less. Great stuff. I'll have to listen again with my headphones at some point.

Yeah. Novavax has been submitted for approval in Canada, but hasn't been approved yet. And I wouldn't be able to get Covaxin or Sinovac without leaving the country. The only other vaccine currently approved in Canada is J&J (which AIUI is similar to AZ), but it isn't being used for boosters.

Boosted! 💉💉💉 All three doses with different vaccines. First dose AstraZeneca, second dose Pfizer, and third dose Moderna.

A bit over a week ago, this Friendica instance suddenly stopped receiving posts over ActivityPub. It took me a while to figure it out, but it turned out that my server's clock was drifting, and at some point drifted to be more than 5 minutes off, which caused issues with signature verification. So I fixed the NTP configuration on my server, and now things seem to be back to normal. I've missed about a week of posts, but I guess I'll survive.

Election day today. Canadians, vote!

I wrote a tool in Elixir for checking the setup of Matrix servers. See more information about it in this week's This Week in Matrix post.

I don't know why we need an expert to tell us that if we want housing to be more affordable, we need to decrease the price of housing.

We seem to have been here before. The province begins opening up just as a new variant threatens to take hold. Our overall R value is about 0.8, but the R value for the Delta variant is over 1.2, and we're less than a week into re-opening. We'll see how we fare this time, but it didn't turn out that well last time.
