I’m jaded, & can see progress. I’m largely disinterested. I’m glad there is a good team with the Mayor, you, Colin, & others. I wish there was coverage of better blood with Matt Allard. I don’t like what happened with the communication on Happyland I don’t hear enough local news. Thanks for sharing🙂

How do we get supervision (respite) for a young adult #disabled in #Manitoba ? The government can’t find more than one person who can only do 3 hours a week (and we are often called home). We are approved for lots more time. The respite job boards they provide don’t seem to find anyone.

You might have thought your phone and internet service was the only one out in the city last week. Turns out a large swath of the city was hit - along with Grace Hospital - for days but Bell MTS didn’t tell anyone about it - we did. My story on the outage: www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

Bell MTS outage lasts for days, affects 911

A widespread Bell MTS outage this week struck a Winnipeg hospital and an unknown number of Manitobans who couldn’t call 911 because their landline and internet service was down for days. The Grace Hos...

Awesome job as usual. Thanks for asking. 🙂 I look forward to future articles on this topic.

Are they backup generators or always on? Are the other datacenters in Manitoba still underused (Waverley, downtown, crypto price slip…)? Is there any change in water use? What is the power consumption compared to other things or what does it mean for MBHydro’s pricing and capacity? Is it really AI?

Identity verification is dangerous. Age identification has only ever been done with identity verification. This law is for data brokers & targeting. Social media harms should be regulated for all. Australia studies show “U shaped” results. Some youth have become more isolated with these laws.

bsky.app/profile/loui... schools are closed now too. It would be worth reposting this.

That’s a different division. It also seems now that some schools in LRSD may be closed.

Has someone reached out to CBC Winnipeg, or put out a press release like the University of Manitoba did? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We start time changes on Fridays at my house. It does make some things confusing, but it makes Monday a lot easier.

I’ve found that the CTV Weather app has the best free radar futurecast and storm information. Environment Canada can be quite focused on the airport at times, and often gives broad statements which are accurate and not precise. Weather Underground is useful too. Weatherlogics is another nice source.

There are many. Winnipeg’s mayoral election elections were ranked and now aren’t. I don’t know what the reasons for the changes specifically were en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...

my #curling narative: Why would Caruthers do that? That’s an easy double. You need a triple for 3 points and the lines don’t seem good. A draw for two looks easy. McEwan knows better. He should know better after decades of play. Oh, that’s why Caruthers left him that double.

For a major provider there should be a better way. The standard for email is retry between each relay server is immediately followed by five minutes, one hour, two etc and give up after 72 hours. One server or connection out can cause this. SMS is horrid and arbitrarily filters as spam.

He was a caring instructor. He spent time ensuring his students had what they needed to do well. He had a passion for teaching that made his courses enjoyable.

You can change your Bluesky settings (in Accessibility Settings) to require alt text if posting images. Never forget again!

Bluesky Accessibility Settings->
toggle switch: "require alt text before posting" turned on

my draft post (with accessibility settings screenshot) showing a prompt that says "one or more images is missing alt text"

It’ll happen on and off as new malware reports come in and old ones age out or get removed. Whoever controls their install could whitelist it. I usually try reaching out. It might be easier using a different uncommon sharing service like your website if it’s got the capacity.

Modern Earth has been around a long time. Thank you for supporting local business. 🙂 They can check to see if anything can be improved, but it looks like mailscanner frequently flags Google drive and docs. There is a lot of everything that uses Google drive. lists.mailscanner.info/pipermail/ma...

Likely nothing. Which mail scanner? What is the reputation of your email’s host domain? Does your email have a lot of text like a description of the content? What file type is the attachment? Have you sent lots of non-flagged messages to that recipient before?
