@reece Thank you Reece for the great transit info and education about Toronto, Canadian and the world. You voice will be missed but wish all the best for you and your family in all future adventures

Creating a YouTube channel is definitely my biggest achievement so far, but all good things have to come to an end. It's been an absolute pleasure getting to know people in public transit, and I'm really excited to see what the future holds. Please check this out:

@slightlyoff thanks .. good to know .. I expect that this pattern might have a impact on testing ... which is frequently a underfunded area .. pity they wouldn't do so and give their customers a better experience , especially given then well know phenomenon of "speed means revenue"

Most Enterprise companies would benefit.

Alex (@slightlyoff) do you have any insight?

I realize this would probably benefit first world users the most but could also help with at least slightly older devices.

Will the (2024) mac mini is supposed to be more square design. So will it be like a scaled down or shunk mac studio?

Reminder for youngsters: Dick Cheney was the puppeteer behind the George W. Bush administration, the war on terror, the Iraq invasion, stomping all over civil rights at home, etc.

Basically he's the Darth Vader of American right-wing politicsβ€”but that was 20 years ago.

Trump is too grotesque for *this* guy to vote for.

Once again, I reiterate my desire for a single way of viewing and participating with posts on X, Threads, Mastodon, and BlueSky -- it's like instant messaging all over again, and there's no ICQ. We need a FriendFeed for the 2000s
