@Ultranidd woahhhhhhhhhhhh pretty

The canadian federal government is going to be terminating public weatherradio broadcasts and emergency alerts on March 16th, 2026.

This is very bad. Cell & Internet emergency alerts have been dubiously reliable, and countless people in rural areas still rely on weatherradio for emergency alerts. What can we do to stop this? We can't let austerity cuts get in the way of life safety and emergency preparedness.

@pastthepixels epic

i say this as someone whos had a 2020 macbook pro for years. i hate my shitty fucking dock. it craps out all the time and overheats and the motherboard has to throttle cause im having so many peripherals hooked up to only 2 thunderbolt ports.

hot take: if your laptop isn't thick enough for an rj45 ethernet port, im not interested
