Canadians served and perished with distinction in Korea. Kapyong. Hill 355. it was seven years from start to finish.
Afghanistan. the longest war in Canadian history. ISAF. Operation MEDUSA. Kandahar. these are the majority of veterans today. 40,000 served in theatre. as with previous generations, their experiences mostly remain within them and their families.
never forget nor discount the Blue Berets of UN Peacekeeping Forces. Cyprus. Golan Heights. Balkans. Somalia. Rwanda. many more

Unsubscribe from a couple of those newsletters you never read.

Reddit started becoming shitty because people are shitty.

It started long before the API restrictions, long before the commercialisation.

No, it started failing when the influx of new users grew exponentially, but the systems to support it didn't.

Subreddits were no longer communities, they became information and discussion hubs.

With the influx of people, further moderation was needed. But mod vetting isn't that easy, and a lot of people who had absolutely no business moderating communities, let alone social hubs, got a whiff of power that drove them crazy.

And that leads to splinter communities, some abandoned, some forced to give up, and an overall mess to this all.

@merce aquests sí que en saben 👏🏼

as those WW1 vets passed it turned to veterans of the most destructive conflict in history WW2. Dieppe. Hong Kong. Ortona. Cassino. Juno Beach. these vets were the ones in my family I knew in person. nothing of their experiences was ever volunteered, little was shared. only the medals and commendations spoke for them. they commanded respect from their sacrifice and their loss.

Internet search on “Ghislaine Maxwell Reddit moderator”

over the course of my life, from the 1960s to present day, much has changed in the way Remembrance Day is presented.
I remember vets of "The War To End All Wars" WW1 being front and centre. Vimy Ridge. Paaschendaele. Ypres. The Somme.

I'm very excited and hopeful about the atmosphere/atproto community co-op that is being formed: https://atmosphere.coop/updates/introducing-the-atmosphere-community-cooperative

A lot to learn from Fediverse governance efforts.

@MaryAustinBooks Lifetime achievement for being a sellout shittwat.

L’île Manitoulin : la plus grande île d’eau douce au monde 🌊

Située dans le lac Huron, l’île Manitoulin est la plus grande île d’eau douce de la planète. On y trouve des sentiers, des plages paisibles, des communautés autochtones… et même des lacs sur l’île contenant leurs propres îles!

Reddit was always shitty from when

• The only reason the jailbait sub came down was do to main stream media pressure - if you missed jailbait was a “SFW” sub for posting reveling photos of other people’s children to be gooned over. It was voted “Subreddit of the year” in 2008

• the mod who ran jailbait was an ICON on reddit for years and he also modded dozens of other equally questionable subs

• The insane redditor backlash to them banning FatPeopleHate sub - which for those who missed it was a sub dedicated to posting photos of overweight people without their knowledge so the internet could mock them. This was mostly made up of - yes you guessed it - mostly photos of fat women getting mocked.

• Leaving up the BeatingWomen sub that is specifically for posting videos of women getting beat up for 10+ more years after jailbait came down.

• leaving up the Creepshots sub, a sub dedicated to upskirt and down-shirt photos of unsuspecting women, for YEARS and only taking it down due to to it hitting the main stream news and forcing their hand. This sub was also modded by the Jailbait mod.

• the RAMPANT sexism and racism as thinly veiled intellectualism that has gone on for DECADES

• Ghislaine Maxwell was a moderator on worldnews

The API thing and forced logins is probably one of the least shitty things this site has done.

I submitted Pull Requests to update MacPorts' LibreSSL to 4.4.1 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/36607

Continuous integration checks passed!

And libressl-devel to 4.4.1 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/36608

One CI check passed, the other one is queued (though I am guessing it will probably pass as well, barring issues with the build bots).

It's up to someone else with commit access to merge those!

From the release notes [https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/libressl-4.4.1-relnotes.txt]:
