Alas, another one bites the dust. Yet more #enshittification that will probably lead to untold amounts of crappy AI generated content. Definitely a site to avoid from now on:

"Taken together, the changes paint a picture of an outlet cutting staff to focus on things like Google traffic, SEO, commerce, and affiliate revenue."

siobhanwanders, to Ottawa

This morning I almost got hit by an #Autowa driver on my street who wasn’t paying attention and I had to jump back because they didn’t notice me. Then when I waved my arms at them in frustration they got mad at me.

A scary and not fun way to start the day.

@siobhanwanders that sucks. Someone almost reversed into me as I was walking behind them. They only stopped when I banged on their rear window. He was probably using his phone and not bothering with his mirrors or backup camera.

I deleted the #nostr app on my phone. Crap content full of #bitcoin and #conspiracy theorists. The tech is interesting but the content kills it for me. Shame.

Boxed cereal manufacturers are selling cereal for $3.99 in #loblaws. That's not a sale price, they shrunk the boxes so much, they'll probably last two days. I guess people pushed back against the ridiculous prices and stopped buying the really big, expensive boxes. The #enshittification of #groceries continues. #ottawa #barrhaven #canada

Is there a reason - linguistics or culture perhaps - as to why so many Georgian surnames ends in "..dze"? I think it's odd yet cool, as its sort of an identity. Makes it easy to spot a Georgian prop in the front row of a #rugby team in France or England. #georgia

This is prob mostly for tea drinkers, but curious about general habits. How often do you typically boil your kettle in a day?

@ottaross I voted 3, but really it’s 3-4

@ottaross are you selling that piece of information to your 273 ad partners? 😃

What are the best alternatives to #Duolingo? A small monthly fee isn’t a problem for something that can genuinely help you learn a new language.

It seems the app only functions to keep you using it, not to actually learn anything. Gamified and enshittified. #language

I was very surprised to see some new snow on the ground when I looked out the window. I'd forgotten what fresh snow looks like! #ottawa #barrhaven

What are the most critical issues the #Fediverse faces right now?

What can we do at #FediForum to help make progress on them?

Ideas welcome.

@fediforum funding?

YurkshireLad,
@YurkshireLad@mastodon.social avatar

@fediforum the former but also how can instances fund themselves to create financial stability yet also support potential future growth.

OK @KiwiEV looks like the EV5 is arriving, a boxy 5 seater

Assume this will be in the $80k price range?

I'm confused why this and the EV6?

Supposed to be smaller - replacing the niro, or squeezed into the mid space?

@Rjdlandscapes @KiwiEV I think a Kia EV6 drove past me yesterday; nice looking vehicle. It looks very sporty and upmarket.

The Cdn government – and similarly other NATO countries – needs to call in their local US ambassadors and demand an explanation of why they are allowing a treasonous previous gov official at large to publicly call for Russian aggression against them. Wouldn't that be standard operating procedure in such a situation?

@ottaross sadly nothing will happen and Trump will get away with it again. He’s globally dangerous even when he’s not the sitting president.

My changed “republicans” to “replicants” because I really, really screwed up typing the word.

I’m seeing more and more in at the side of the ruck in #rugby these days, not just in the IREvITA game. The refs are ignoring it. Not good. @rugby

:IrishRugby: :ItalianRugby: Match Thread

Last match of the this weekend is visiting

Last year was no walkover, with Italy scoring 20 to Ireland's 34.

Anthems are done, some wee lad just belted out Ireland's Call and we are ready to kick off.

@jaz @rugby I gave to be honest; I’m quite bored watching this game.

@Olap there’s a huge gulf between the teams.

@Olap Ireland are making England look like a bunch of amateurs. They’re so organised, athletic and in complete control.
