📖 “30 seconds to midnight? 15?”

Well, this isn’t at all terrifying </sarcasm>

I think the nightmare scenario has always been Skynet (I.e. Allowing AI unmonitored control of weapons), and it looks like that’s where the idiots want to take us.

📖 “Toronto's underground labyrinth”

I do like the idea of referring to these underground networks as “pedestrian metros”. I think the few cities which have them are all the better for it, even though they’re flawed in many ways.

I’m looking for some advice: What’s the best protocol to use for sharing files on a Linux box with Macs? (I’m thinking of using the Finder, rather than something like rsync)

I’ve been told AFP is no longer well supported by Macs, but that SMB can also cause issues.

🗻 Apparently today is Mount Fuji day, so to celebrate here’s a photo I once took from the Shinkansen, circa 2009 I think.

I remember it took several attempts to get a day where it was actually visible, even from this close.

“Shy mountain” indeed.

Canadian politics Question: Our local federal MP (Alexandre Boulerice, NDP) is stepping down to move into provincial politics. This requires a by-election, right? The NDP can't just replace him with a new unelected MP I assume?

Brief shoutout to a thing which is common in UK suburbs but seems rare in Canadian ones, and that is public footpaths connecting cul-de-sacs.

The difference these make to a walkable suburb versus one which makes you take long detours on foot is really underrated.

📺 “THIS is how you make trains accessible for everyone”

Been a while since I’ve been out on the Greater Anglia network, but these trains look fab.

(Ottawa has trains from the same family I believe, although I’ve not yet ridden those either)

@jfmezei@mstdn.ca Makes sense. By that logic (I.e.: Physics) the display should probably show: 1. Deux Montagnes: ∞ minutes 2. Deux Montagnes: ∞ minutes E 3. Cote-de-Liesse: ∞ minutes They should so hire me.
