My SO got me a green Suica card from her summer trip, not long before the penguin gets permanently retired from the card 🐧 Stacked with the red Welcome Suica I used during my own 2024 trip 🌸 The world will miss you, dear penguin, farewell...

Gmail has a dedicated button that lets you translate your email in Polish, and I feel like that's unfair to other languages. How can I customize it so I have a dedicated "French" button?

Why is the *official* install step for the @github.com CLI so complex it takes 5 minutes just to decipher what it does? Can they not push their package to the core APT repository, instead of hosting their own? The install step should literally just be "sudo apt install gh" like every other pkgs

Pedestrianized streets in Montreal are something else! All the business patios were full of customers, and tons of people were laughing, chatting, and dancing in the street. Who wouldn't want more of this in their city?

Went to Whistler for the first time this weekend... No one told me it was actually just a walkable city! Beyond the parking lots at the very edge of it I did not see a single vehicle while wandering the town and it was GREAT

The Union-Pearson (UP) trains have multiple screens inside, but why aren't they utilized? If it was me I'd list the stations, which station we're approaching, ETA to the terminus (whether the airport or Union), etc. Instead all they do is state the current time 🤷 Does anyone know why?

I get those who prefer window seats, and I get those who prefer aisle seat, and I get middle seats when you're with others But this solo person at 18B specifically took a middle seat when there were plenty of windows and aisles to choose from and I don't understand Tempted to take 18C so I can ask

Hah I had a similar discovery period, from first listen to "wow is this my favorite band now?" in the span of weeks. Got the secretive Act VI signed last time I saw them in town! (Including cat tax)

Every street in Kensington Market is a dozen trucks and then 200 people walking on top of each other because the sidewalks are so narrow. Seriously, why is it designed like this? It's Saturday afternoon, the entire thing should be fully pedestrianized no?

I like the modern and lightweight half-height PSD that you can find throughout Tokyo. Would those really cost $50,000,000 per station? I really wish we were a serious country for once.

Finally bit the bullet and changed my GitHub username for "olivi-eh" to match my presence everywhere else! It was honestly less painful than I thought it'd be, the hardest bit was chasing around where I was pointing to my profile (e.g. Discord integrations, LinkedIn profile, personal website)

Somehow I missed the fact that Songkick (the music concert tracking tool) had been acquired by Suno AI (the AI music generation tool). Well that stings. Guess I'll be moving to Bandsintown. AI generated music is a scourge on society. Leave my live concert tracking apps alone.

There was a brief period of time around the early 2000s where AAA gaming was vivid, hopeful, and full of sunshine. Ever since it's been increasingly dark, gray-toned, and moody. What happened? Does this change in artistic direction reflect the state of the world in some capacity?

Conversely you can seriously destroy your country's economy by unsustainably increasing immigration See: Canada's GDP per capita went up a mere 1.8% in the entirety of the decade between 2015 and 2024 (I'm not anti-immigration, to be clear, but the infrastructure and social support needs to match)

After missing out on it the last few times it was in Toronto, I finally got the chance to see Distant Worlds live, and it absolutely felt like a fever dream! Will make sure to keep catching it every time it's in town! 🎶 @ffdistantworlds.bsky.social

Maybe a hot take but it should be illegal to post sales without disclaiming the pre-sale sticker price. This could be a 1¢ sale, and I wouldn't know until the sale is over and the real price shows itself.

The "album era" is only over if you believe it is. Here are my favorite albums released within the past 5 years. All of which I routinely listen front to back without skipping a track. What are your favorite albums released recently?
