Just gonna pin this for my own memory, as much as for sharing with y'all.

This is an #introduction post...kinda.

Hit me up with your #pinebookpro toots. Mine is on order and I'm looking forward to getting it.

I toot a lot about #politics, especially of the leftist sort.

Here are an assortment of hashtags: #socialism #canada #alberta #canpol #anarchy #libertariansocialism #socialecology #linux #yeg #edmonton #snowshoeing #strumstick #fermentation

It looks like this will probably be my new main account. It's with a heavy heart that I am moving on from mastodon.club, but @msh has a solid instance here that I'm happy to join.

In the future the web will once again be decentralized, because the climate crisis will see its core infrastructure collapse (along with much of society) and it'll just turn into one big sneaker network.

Christian mystic: My weekend plans are to get super high and read scripture.

Finally got off my ass and joined a credit union. Now begins the slow and somewhat annoying process of moving everything over. Mortgage is done (and is what finally prompted the switch) and direct deposit info has been submitted to HR so my pay will go there. Now to start switching over bills and possibly moving our humble investment accounts.

Recommendations for a wireless doorbell that isn't crap? Doesn't have to be "smart" and definitely shouldn't be Ring or anyone else who gives camera footage to cops.

I appreciate that Spotify gives us our annual "wrapped" thingy at the beginning of December, before the results are tainted by overplaying Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You."

Ah, the end of the year, when political parties come to ask for your support before the end of the fiscal year. I've received mail from the Green Party of Canada (I'm a member because I wanted to vote for the eco-socialists running for leadership; as yet undecided how involved I'll be given that my preferred candidates didn't win), the Alberta NDP and the Communist Party of Canada. I'm not really a Marxist-Leninist, but I don't fundamentally disagree with the CPC's program. Maybe I'll donate.

Is cyber Monday still a thing? You know, the first Monday after American Thanksgiving, during which everyone on the internet has cybersex with one another in one giant online orgy?

I decided to order a Pixel 4a. The Pixel 5 just seems to not be worth the price at all, even with the Black Friday discount and the Pixel 4a w/ 5G is overpriced through my carrier (currently priced for MORE than the Pixel 5 even with the sale price).

My wife decided to also upgrade, despite her S8 being perfectly serviceable. Mainly, she wanted the better camera to capture the kids growing up over the next few years, which is fair.

Anarchist in the streets, adherent of extremely rigid hierarchies in the sheets.

I'm now debating with myself if it's worth the extra $240ish for this relatively minor difference. Plus the 5G speeds, but I don't think 5G is very widespread in Canada. I don't know if we actually have *any* true 5G networks right now, or if it's just "faster 4G" in the same way that some early so-called 4G networks were really just souped up 3G.
