In very sad news for the computer community, Margaret Hamilton has passed away
We’re losing the people who made computer engineering magical while billionaires take over and make it the most boring fascist machine ever
And it all happened so fast

I absolutely do not understand eating big, cooked breakfasts, in fact the smell of cooked food in the morning makes me nauseous, I drink a latte and have a toast. That’s plenty.
But in the US that seems to be a crime, and in Canada the US influence has affected that perception too.
People in Montréal seem to do fine with pastries and coffee but I don’t live there to confirm.

There’s something about the floors here, I don’t really know, since we moved in, Agata won’t stop rolling on the floor. Sometimes on the rug but mostly on the floor. So I apologize if all her pictures are now this pose. #Cats #catsofmastodon #fedicats

Took the road bike for a ride, it had been *a while* because Scarbs and all.
I had forgotten how fast and light this bike feels compared even to the new commuter - I try to stay around 25km/h in the city for safety and I have to watch myself so I don’t go too fast. It’s very easy to go whoosh and I know from personal experience bad things can happen when I whoosh
Love this bike 💜

@WeirdWriter@caneandable.social Every time you encounter an AI chatbot instead of a human, you know what to do: talk to the thing forever
It costs them money and they have to learn

So, about Gander.Social
- I didn’t even know it existed until 5 minutes ago
- I created an account just to secure my username (Hi I’m renata the one and only)
- I don’t know, I’m unsure about it, Mastodon just has the right vibes for me but I’ll give it a try? I like trying new things
Update: NOPE, not verifying myself with a corporate email or Canada Post for social media, what the fucking fuck. This is ridiculous. Thanks fedi for existing.

It’s a heritage building, it used to be part of the The E.W. Gillett Company built in 1910-12 and it was not uncommon for those to have vaults in the lower floors to keep financials, or even money.
I found this image of a postcard of how it used to look like. Now it’s offices and things like yoga studios
Be curious. It’s fun to find out what things are and where they came from

Slept very poorly and had a nightmare about my bike being stolen
I’m really fond of my bike and I’m really shaken by someone trying to steal it.
I’ll probably get a second lock and park it indoors overnight for the time being so at least I can sleep

On my way to the studio, there was a guy giving away flyers to save the waterfront from the airport expansion. It surprised me how many people he stopped that seemed clueless it’s happening. Some even acted as if he is crazy.
So that’s how it happens - people are clueless about things going on right around them and don’t believe until a massive noisy airport materializes right in front of their eyes, and then they’ll blame Trudeau for dating Katy Perry or some shit.

And, like, I know if I tell that instructor what I found about the building and the vault, they’re just gonna say “oooh… that’s so cool…” and forget it in the next nanosecond
Please I beg you be curious, it’s very cool

@JustinDerrick@mstdn.ca And I think no drivers want cyclists sharing narrow dark garage ramps, as a cyclist I don’t want to do that either
All these modern buildings need to do is to have a protected, ground level, resident access only bike parking.

@linux_mclinuxface@fosstodon.org @mayintoronto@beige.party Everything you like about Billy Bishop is because it’s not a main airport.
If it becomes a large airport all of the nice things you enjoy about it (and I do too) will go away.
It’s the highway expansion illusion. “Build another lane” - then more traffic happens.

Scientists have created a 3D-printed remote-controlled cyborg cockroach equipped with IR cameras — living insects fitted with flexible 'diving suit' can survive…
Singaporean scientists outfitted remote-controlled cockroaches with scuba suits in a bid to use them in rescue operations and explore extreme environments like Mars.

I agree with the Canadian host who can’t pronounce Guimarães, they should have picked someone like Vini for the Brazilian penalty #fifa #worldcup #fifaworldcup

The condo manager told me there are bike racks in front of the building I could use and there are cameras
I checked them out and they’re a cemetery of stolen bike parts. No fucking way I’m leaving my bike there.
They also don’t let you lock your bike against your own porch railing.
I wish Toronto condos were kinder to their cyclists.

How many hashtags you think are too much for a post that you'd consider hashtag spam? For me it's more than 5

Guimarães is the first Brazilian to not convert a penalty since 1986, that’s something #fifa #worldcup #fifaworldcup

He actually pronounces Guimarães with a Portugal-English accent, that’s why it’s so weird
Brazil is trying-and-missing so much it’s painful
