@ascentale @bikenite A8. The city was cutting back plow-created snow banks in my neighbourhood. There has been a record amount of snow in Waterloo Region this year!

And our last question of the week: -
Doly Begumβs defection strengthens the case for Avi Lewis@leftylabourtech @markgrieveson @avilewis Iβm a huge fan of the respectful discussion here, and the aspirational idea that there can be disagreements within the NDP without it fracturing.

What I want is a system that can turn my text descriptions into concept sketches without, y'know, the THEFT and the ECOLOGICALLY DISASTROUS ENERGY FOOTPRINT.@valthonis Yes! Also, the act of sketching/writing helps with thinking through and understanding any problem. The *process* is an important part of getting to a solution/artifact that worth *anything* at all. Plus itβs fun

Letβs all start calling X, FB, IG, TikTok, etc the βlegacy corporate social mediaβ.@wndxlori @AndrewHenry I also like βlegacy surveillance platformsβ, but your suggestion is likely more effective

Doly Begumβs defection strengthens the case for Avi Lewis@leftylabourtech @markgrieveson @avilewis Yes! Shift sharply to the left, and shift power from its comfortable centralized establishment to its members.

Doly Begumβs defection strengthens the case for Avi Lewis@leftylabourtech @markgrieveson @avilewis The key point for me in this article:
βWhat is clear, however, is that the NDP leader must be able to show they represent a genuine alternative to neoliberalism, and that requires going beyond any federal or provincial branch of recent decades. The case for holding back, to the degree it ever existed, has fallen apart.β

@taylorlorenz@paulbusch @taylorlorenz Oooo! Thatβs an awesome analogy! As someone who has been at many of both type of events, it completely resonates with me

The more I look at Prime (and granted, I only look at it when we get a free trial and that is rarely) the more I realise that the crap UI is meant as a feature and not a bug.@commonst @EllenInEdmonton FWIW, for me CBC Gem is well with its modest monthly price.

Welcome to #BikeNite on Friday, February 6th.@ascentale @bikenite A1. Iβm in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Still covered with snow and with colder temperatures (-15Β°C as I type this). Relatedly, nothing new with my bike today

Ok I will say, I have been using LLMs more, and have been impressed.@reece What is it about them thatβs impressed you? What do they do well?

@Cyclist asks:@ascentale @Cyclist @bikenite A5. At a high level, the experience of traveling *in* the world rather than *through* the world is biggest benefit for me. I get to hear and see things that I would miss in a car. I get to engage with people I pass with βhelloβ and waves. In general, I get to be far more present and in the moment. These things bring me joy!
Also, when I cycle to a brewery patio I can get home safely

Iβm going to have to spend some time weeding my timeline garden (translation: updating my filters)@EllenInEdmonton Same! Bearing witness is important, and it can easily go too far.

Itβs tough, because itβs uplifting to read about USA resistance, but difficult to handle the large amount of dystopian USA news.
