I thought we were all paid in beans.

FEZ has a great soundtrack. Also Sword & Sworcery.

I agree. It’s like Occam’s Razor, but with stupidity instead of simplicity: the most stupid reason is the most likely.

There are far too many, but here’s a couple:

David Ramirez and Kalu James - Dark Star (from Song Confessional) (2022): https://youtu.be/lSg9qsBgfgs

Song Confessional is a podcast that collects anonymous stories then has artists make songs for it. This is my favourite song from that.

Great Caesar - Hey Mama (2016): https://youtu.be/fCnSEsx6Cp8

I don’t even think they’re a band anymore, or at least they haven’t released anything in quite while.

Ladyhawk - New Joker (2006): https://youtu.be/4hUnygYXvfs

A rough sounding Canadian band that has disbanded, but actually had a documentary made about their second album creation process. Saw them live once and they were great.

It’s just easier. I have both but I almost never use Mastodon anymore. Federation there doesn’t seem to work right. I didn’t know what an instance was so I joined mastodon.social. Finding and following people in the app doesn’t always seem to work right if they’re on another instance. Doing it in a browser is even more painful.

The people I liked to follow and interact with on X, many tried Mastodon and abandoned it, and many more are now on Bluesky. This creates momentum to “follow the crowd” as it were.

Additionally, you only have one chance to make a first impression. A lot of us tried Mastodon earlier and it wasn’t ready. Bluesky started as invite-only, which drummed up interest before catching this zeitgeist of people leaving X.

Lastly, and maybe it’s just me, but the font sizing on the official Mastodon app on Android is generally too small and can’t be changed. Bluesky allows me to change it and make it more comfortable to use.

Don’t! Be evil!

One of the three carriers in Canada is about to do away with prepaid entirely in December. That said, I have a pretty affordable monthly plan and I buy my phones outright.

But he’s not a woman.

“Behold, a house!”

Sorry, but the only sports games I play are racing games. So not all Canadians.

No, they hire a lot of temporary foreign workers from India.

That’s what Tim Hortons did in Canada!

My company is an HP partner. I use a Lenovo.
