Part 3 - Moving forward
One of Mastodon's strengths is its decentralized structure. That also means no centralized marketing or development strategy focused on growth, particularly in Canada. Perhaps a volunteer group could take on that development plan and grow the Canadian user base.
- A vision of what an ideal future state would look like would benefit the planning and action steps. Collecting input from Canadian admins is recommended.
- We shouldn't burden existing admins beyond their current responsibilities. Volunteers would take actions like reaching out to politicians or government agencies.
Potential next steps:
1) Host a web meeting with interested Canadian admins to collect input on a shared vision for this project.
2) Collect volunteers who would be interested in reaching out to politicians or government agencies about creating a presence on Mastodon.
3) Select members of the group to be part of a steering committee.
4) Create a unique hashtag for this project for reporting and followers.

Japan Daily on Instagram: "Marty Friedman, an American musician based in Japan, visited a junior high school in Chiba at an event organized by local police to promote coexistence with foreigners. Speaking to first-year students, he said that 99.9% of foreigners who come to Japan are not dangerous and are often eager to communicate with Japanese people. He encouraged students to learn foreign languages and approach others without fear. Friedman also shared a personal story about forgetting his wallet in Japan, highlighting the country’s honesty. The event aimed to help young people understand cultural differences as foreign visitors and workers increase. Learning with empathy can reduce tension and improve everyday interactions.

@… The web interface currently doesn’t load for me in Safari on macOS 26.2. The API seems to work as I can use the Ivory app on my phone just fine.

Need to have our gutters cleaned. Find a company with an outstanding record on the Better Business Bureau. Find nothing but positive reviews on related sites. Visit their website and see three ways to get a quote:
1. instant bid button (result pictured)
2. call, instructed to do the instant bid or press 0 to speak to someone. That rings forever. VM? No.
3. submit a web form like it's 1999
Expectations are loooooowww...

I think this seems like a good idea.

🥳 New Kitten Release
• Reduces minimum Bash version requirement for installing Kitten to Bash 3.2 (was previously Bash 5 ). This removes the requirement for people on macOS to upgrade the ancient version of Bash that Apple ships with their desktop operating system. (If you’re on Linux none of this was ever an issue for you.)¹
• Updates runtime to Node 24.12.0, the latest long-term support (LTS) version.

So, that's the story: 1) PocketCast changed my lists into Smart Playlists. 2) PocketCast desktop/web doesn't support Smart Playlists. 3) Therefore, they made desktop/web unusable for me.

If you, like me, are suddenly interested in how an invasion and takeover by the USA might work… there is 100 year old document in the National Archives that gives at least a basic idea. In the context of a USA war plan against "Red” (The British Empire). Canada is “Crimson”.
Pleasant reading!
