was shocked to find out that was all the real actors voices on the musical episode. and that last episode cliffhanger! i haven’t enjoyed star trek this much since TNG was still on the air, i think!

been watching the new star trek snw with my boy at the recommendation of my parents — just finished the second season and it’s gotten surprisingly good!

@caitp @damianogerli my memory is that google was a lot better — at least by the time i tried it in maybe 2000ish. altavista was good, but google quickly blew em out of the water

@damianogerli i remember using basically this pitch for trying google to my altavista-using friends at high school! great time while it lasted…

@seachanger an alternative without the regional spelling issues could be “villages”!

@seachanger the downside will be the british vs american spelling arguments — as a canadian i’m on team “neighbourhood” btw ;)

@seachanger the other upside to this term would be it intuitively encourages choosing a niche small/medium-sized instance/neighbourhood instead of an enormous “default” one

had a picnic/bbq to welcome my parents moving back to canada — luckily my truck juuust fit between the bollards at the park entrance, so i was able to haul all our stuff up the hill to the pavilion

hold up… can i use 1password two factor authentication any time a service supports google authenticator?

just tried stripe’s google 2FA setup QR code with 1password and it worked like a charm!

@levisan hm that’s not new though — i remember that as a major talking point from when i first got interested in this sort of thing in the early 2000s. comparing the amount of people that could move on the same size road w cars vs bikes vs buses vs light rail, comparing neighbourhood with and without parking, etc

@malcolm ah nice! i hadn’t even heard of it til my friend ben booked it. so curious about georgina island — was told you can’t take the ferry there without an invitation from someone in the tribe?

camped w friends at sibbald point — kayaked the black river, saw lots of cool birds, had good food and beer together, then had a horrible sleep, but still worth it!

@KatLS @muttonchop @pluralistic well, obv cory and ayn don’t share much in terms of worldviews, but can’t deny that she wrote speculative fiction that very much convinced a lot of folks who read it to see the world her way! walkaway seems to me like an anti-atlas shrugged

@ashfurrow@masto.ashfurrow.com i’ve been trying to develop a better attitude about cleaning things. i like organizing/tidying things! but not cleaning. i’ve managed to get a better/meditative mindset about certain cleaning habits — like washing dishes — but have a long way to go elsewhere

@muttonchop @pluralistic walkaway is a great story, and the setting changed how i think about the future! it’s like if ayn
rand was less problematic and longwinded
