@stephanie “excuse me, I need the bathroom”. (Pulls out credit card when out of view of argumentative parents). Been there myself.

PP going on an anti public service rant this morning, among other lies, claiming that the public service doesn't do anything more than it did in 2015.

Canada's population has grown by 15%.

Core inflation over that period is 28%.

The feds now run public dental, daycare, and pharmacare programs.

They built a $40B pipeline for Alberta.

They spent 3 years bailing out conservative commercial landlords during the pandemic.

Every dollar spent went into the private sector.

@johnefrancis That's a funny rant from someone who's contributed nothing to the public service or this country.

We drove past some kind of accident yesterday afternoon, near Mooney's Bay, I think. I didn't look as I was driving, but my wife said they were treating a teenage girl on the floor. There's nothing in the news but I have my fingers crossed she's ok. We were afraid she'd been hit by a car, but we couldn't tell. #ottawa

Report: Microsoft to face antitrust case over Teams

Unbundling Teams from Office has apparently failed to impress EU regulators.

@arstechnica Microsoft should first be punished because Teams is so, so bad.

Report: ChatGPT search engine could be announced as early as next week

OpenAI's announcement would be the day before Google's annual I/O show.

@arstechnica are they using OpenAI to write their OpenAI announcement, and if so, will it make any sense?

I didn't have much on Stack Overflow, but I wiped out my answers and received the warning email. Account deletion time!

@johnefrancis I haven’t contributed enough that deleting my content would make a difference. I could delete my account and leave all 2 answers as anonymous.

Anyone considering how to break the already? Any alternative work in progress?

@BaumiCoder @Codeberg Lemmy is an alternative to Reddit, not StackOverflow. Two completely different entities.

I'm not aware of a federate alternative to StackOverflow. I think there was an open source equivalent a few years ago, but I can't remember its name.

She also claimed cities liquified dead bodies and poured them into the water supply.

Microsoft's CEO has emailed the company telling everybody to prioritize security. My thoughts, which 4 people will read.

@GossiTheDog if Microsoft’s CEO has just realized that security is important then they need a new CEO.

#Ottawa "Book Festival" Platforming Far-Right Speakers Uses Fake Employees and Misleading Sponsors

summary: 3, only 3, rwnj's steal logos, lie to gain sponsorship and promotion, to bring in the usual rwnj suspects to tell their bullshit conspiracies.

#YouTube is doing weird things by showing the wrong channel names for videos in the sidebar and below the one I'm watching. It's very strange - what kind of trickery is this?

YurkshireLad,
@YurkshireLad@mastodon.social avatar

Here's an example. This is Rick Beato's channel. No idea what that channel name is. #YouTube

The forecast snow has just arrived for us.

Don't think it'll accumulate at all, but a good flurry happening now. Tulips are up, trees are leafing out and the grass is green, but a little hint of winter holds on.

@ottaross snow?! No thanks, send it away!!

Ah the challenge of trying to identify an actor who never really did leading roles, and you can't remember specific things that they were in. "That guy, that was in a bunch of stuff." Ugh

@ottaross I'm sure ChatGPT could give you the right answer.

Two batches of #sourdough going this morning.

I've been having probs finding time to progress, so have often had a starter ramping up on the counter for several days. I constantly expect today I'll get it going.

This week I even had to break down and buy bread for the first time in years. That gave me the kick in the butt to get something going after breakfast.

@ottaross are the revolutionaries more sour than their counterparts?
