CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@VE2UWY I can see why.I like their current style with "cards" going off the line - or the previous red ones.It's a really difficult challenge to convey this much information in a clear manner.

“30 seconds to midnight? 15?”Well, this isn’t at all terrifying </sarcasm>I think the nightmare scenario has always been Skynet (I.e. Allowing AI unmonitored control of weapons), and it looks like that’s where the idiots want to take us.https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/code-red-for-humanity

@heliomass Both. Montreal's tough, because you're going uphill all the way from the Gare Centrale to Maisonneuve, so there have to be some level changes the the underground shopping. Downtown Toronto is pretty flat moving north from Front St, so I agree that there are fewer excuses for level changes and awkward accessibility ramps.#Toronto #Montreal #accessibility

@heliomass I didn't hear about NFS being depreacted.AFP is.

@jfmezei Just the terror of dissembling a device. It’s all back together now, with a new SSD.

The mountain was quite pretty today.#Montreal

Apparently today is Mount Fuji day, so to celebrate here’s a photo I once took from the Shinkansen, circa 2009 I think.I remember it took several attempts to get a day where it was actually visible, even from this close.“Shy mountain” indeed.#Japan #Fuji

“How far back in time can you understand English?”I’m clearly going to need to set a lower limit on my Time Machine, lest I’m completely unable to communicate with anyone.https://www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-back-in-time-understand-english

@heliomass @CyclingGuide For sure there will be variations!

“THIS is how you make trains accessible for everyone”Been a while since I’ve been out on the Greater Anglia network, but these trains look fab.(Ottawa has trains from the same family I believe, although I’ve not yet ridden those either yet)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm6mT0oIOwU

@NeueWelle I'll be interested to know what you think if you do get one. I worry that Nintendo will keep supporting the original Switch for the lifespan of the switch 2 since they have a lot of shared compatibility.

@jfmezei Always sad to see these rights of way get earmarked for closure.

I'm really happy this is being recognised a shortcoming working against one of the core values of the platform.https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/02/our-technical-direction/

@heliomass Imagine working brutal hours to create product whose purpose is to replace you.

@GabeMoralesVR Sensible. Sadly I think my line CRT is about to kick the bucket

It's 2026, the age Of AI, and the iOS keyboard is now so bad I've reverted to Using T9. And it's better.

Hot take: Perhaps if they wanted tourists to visit the further flung parts of Japan, they should have kept the JR Pass affordable?https://soranews24.com/2026/02/13/foreign-tourists-in-japan-will-get-free-shinkansen-tickets-to-promote-regional-tourism/#Japan

It’s cool the Liz Line has had such a positive impact on Reading. But I wonder how many people take the stopping Liz Line service to London when there are faster non-stop or limited stop trains. Perhaps some people prefer not having to change at Paddington?https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clym4zdk5ldo#London

Well, the deep freeze has ended, to be replaced by a regular freeze.
