#Vancouver

@reiver, is #FediCon going to be held in #Vancouver again this year?

And to think I looked at my camera at the start of my commute this morning and said "not today, won't need it".

I've been trying to find a moment to capture this scene for years.. So, here's the best it's ever been using my cell phone. Ugh!

☕ Brew & Build: A Cozy Introvert-Friendly Meetup

The Vibe: This is a warm, small-group meetup designed for depth over distance. If you prefer meaningful conversation over a crowded room, this is for you.

The Boundary: We cap this event at 9 people to keep the energy grounded. Once we are full, RSVP closes!

📅 When: Last Sunday of the month | 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM PST 📍 Location: Cafe La Forêt (Royal Oak). 1-min walk from Skytrain.

We are a community of Vancouver creatives and tech folks imagining a better internet together. We combine empathy and logic to build bridges, not walls.

💎 Big News: Our calendar just hit 100 subscribers! It is an honour to grow with you. This journey started as an idea incubated at #FediCon2025. Thank you to the #OpenWeb community for helping us build this #Vancouver Fediverse Club and Third Space.

Come as you are. Share what you cherish.

The civil war has already started. We're already losing. What are we waiting for, a declaration of war or secession? The fascists STARTED THE WAR on their enemies months ago. #2a goes both ways. #1776again.

February 29, 2004: the US kidnapped Aristide and his family and flew them to the Central African Republic.

Hey folks! If you live in BC (or know people who do) and want to see some sort of proportional representation system of voting replace the first-past-the-post one we currently use, then now is the moment to act.

The BC gov’s special committee advised that a Citizen’s Assembly on Electoral Reform should be created to determine what voting system BC will use for future elections.

The BC gov’t will be voting on whether or not to act on that recommendation in the next few weeks, so right now is a great time to call your MPP and tell them you support it!

If you wanna **really** help out, you can join a phone bank* contacting folks who have already signed up with Fair Vote Canada to let them know it’s going down and what they can do.

It’s get out the vote time folks!

Please boost, this is the closest we’ve ever been to seeing real representation in a multi-party environment.

From one of my favourite local #Vancouver #Forests to explore, this image of a Maple Vine tree reaching for the light is one of my favourites.

To get the compression I wanted I had to stitch about 9 frames together to get the full image in one shot. Moving closer would mean a large blue sky or the gravel trail beneath the tree would be visible. But, I'm happy with the result :) I titled it "Reach" given the trees aggressive lean.

Well-connected person whom I trust was just telling me that he’s personally talked to 4 Canadians who in recent weeks have had US CBP demand to look through their phones and on the basis of phone content been turned back and handed 5-year entry bans. Three of the 4 were at Vancouver airport. These people are not taking their story to media because they don’t want to draw attention to their employers.

The Archduke Ferdinand and Lusitania did not start military/political responses. They triggered action.

Many wheels were in place already.

The Lusitania is still sailing around. For now.

And the BC NDP got elected 8 years ago and i figured we'd have unhoused people housed within like 2 years.

Complete flop

They acquired hundreds of housing units by buying shitty hotels, and still we have thousands on the streets.

And mannnnnnnny thousands of empty condos

Traffic accident just outside my building in downtown #Vancouver. I only heard a loud bang. As far as I can see from my unit, a car presumably hit something, then a large power transformer that sits on the sidewalk, and then only stopped some 100m *after* the transformer. The transformer is well-dislodged and knocked streetlights offline. Police placed a do not cross line, which presumably indicates serious injury 😕
Three guys got arrested.

Finally on the ground in #Vancouver for #FediCon - looking forward to an exciting and inspirational weekend!

I wouldn't have to call out your #Vancouver #FediCon if your organizers weren't so fucking ignorant about #PeopleWithDisabilities in the first place. Your event organizer is an #ableist & I've yet to see any of you people listed on their public info - as speakers - calling them out for their #ableism

I went out to see if I could catch the #aurora tonight, but sadly it peaked at just the astronomical sunset, and so what was visible was just the end of the show. I went to Iona Beach this time, which gave me a nice 360 view of the sky, but also much more light pollution. In the end all I was able to see was a faint (to my eyes) white band, but in the photos you can see it was a faint green and red. There was also some green towards the mountains. #AuroraBorealis #Vancouver #BC

Considering that there's been an influx of charlatans who speak VC-styled lingo at tech events, I feel that there needs to be some event that screams loud and clear: you either contribute to technical topics, or you shut the fuck up.

For that, I present to you, "Programming, Motherf*cker: Do you speak it?"

More details soon.

This is a polite reminder that vaccinations are safe, and that measles outbreaks are entirely preventable.

Denying your little(s) access to potentially life saving vaccines is wildly irresponsible and actively endangers their well-being.

Vaccines don't cause autism. They cause adults.

Stunned. People, the far left won in Vancouver. Not by a little. COPE's Sean Orr, who advocates defunding police, etc., won by a LANDSLIDE. How big a landslide? He got FOUR TIMES the vote of the ruling far-right ABC Party. No, really. Far left populism is popular, even in Canada's most gentrified city. This is a political earthquake. #Politics #vancouver #canada https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/vancouver-byelection-1.7503150

#introduction

Hello. I'm Kris Hooper, a photographer working in the candid/street tradition. I reside in #Vancouver BC, Canada. The past few years I have been working with #35mm and #120 #blackandwhite film. More recently I’ve began revisiting colour digital.

I'm a member of the Vancouver Street Photography Collective, and the Westend Darkroom.

My photography portfolio is at krishooperphoto.com

I’m also a UX designer, music history obsessive, and trusty labradoodle sidekick.

Did a family bike ride around Stanley Park this afternoon and took this along the way.

#photography #fujifilm #landscape #travel #vancouver

This weekend the city of Vancouver is demolishing an old building in the city which had been abandoned for a decade and was starting to collapse. So I went over to check it out, and also to try the D800 on some interesting subjects. Verdict: I like this camera!

I'm happy to see that I get the same vibrant colours as in the Z6III, but I've definitely already forgotten how you have to check the photos for dust, which you can't see from the viewfinder, unlike in a mirrorless camera.

#vancouver

Today in important #vancouver news, I walked around Beaver Lake in Stanley Park and did not see any beavers but I did see some awesome ducks and a very round spotted towhee.

One thing people may be missing with the election terrorism happening in #OR and #WA is that at least in Oregon, we receive an automatic email/phone call/SMS when our ballots are received. (And again when they are counted on election day.)

So folks can know for sure if their ballot was counted.

New instance, new #introduction!

I'm a woman in my 30s. I was born in #Québec City, I moved to #Vancouver for my first real job as a #translator and, a few years ago, I moved to #Ottawa with my husband so we could afford a house.

I mostly write in English, but don't hesitate to toot at me in #français!

I've worked in multiple fields... my favourite were my years with Library and Archives #Canada, which I absolutely loved. I now work in #agriculture.

I love #videogames, mostly #FFXIV right now. I have an #ebike. I love #books and #cooking. I miss #travel.

I'm very much pro (vaccine, science, choice, mask, etc.).

Come say hi 👋

We live in an expensive city: Bentley's, Ferrari's, McLaren's, RR not common but not uncommon.

My partner and I just took the trash out then did a short late evening stroll ... past Pacey's Pianos on West Broadway. Baby grand in the window: $200K. 🤯 One of many. 🎹

#Vancouver #CapriciousWealth #WealthInequality #Canada

Hi! Thought I’d do my #introduction!

I’m PN from #Montreal 🥯 then #Toronto 🦝 and now #Vancouver 🏔️ (and planning moving back to Montreal in 2023).

[2023-08 UPDATE—In Montréal!]

Platform engineer by job title, been doing #DevOps (ish) stuff for the past 15 years. #Linux user since 1999!

I’m into #Retro tech 💾 , such as #VintageComputing (especially #VintageApple and #Macintosh). I love #3dprinting and designing. I want to make more stuff that’s not just software!

An #introduction.

I'm a backend #node developer in #vancouver, I've been running #vrchat 's backend (badly) since about 2016 (when it was just me). Now it's loads more people!

Most of what I post is not serious or thoughtful. I like my #bengal #cat, I used to make #comics (I'm an extremely mediocre artist) and now perform micro-acts of forgettable #gamedev when I get the chance. I like #boardgames and #alcohol and #coffee and #cooking and #restaurants.

I'm the author of Straphanger—which recounts my adventures travelling to 14 cities around the world, including #Shanghai, #Paris, #Tokyo,#Vancouver, #Phoenix #Bogotá #Philadelphia, #NYC #Copenhagen, looking at transit, bicycles, and alternatives to the car.

Since it seems to be the #mastodon tradition ...

#introduction

I live in #Vancouver , #canada (on unceded territory; https://vancouver.ca/people-programs/land-acknowledgement.aspx).

I am a core developer on the #python programming language (19 years and counting).

Spare time is:

- #opensource (https://github.com/brettcannon/ , https://snarky.ca/)
- #movies (https://letterboxd.com/nothingbutsnark/)
- #tv shows (https://trakt.tv/users/brettcannon)
- #gaming (mostly Destiny 2 and Marvel Snap ATM)

Time for an #introduction!

Hi - I'm Michael, and I'm a #photographer who lives near #Vancouver, British Columbia, #Canada. My #photography is mostly #nature and landscape oriented though I'll photograph almost anything (but not usually people). I sell my photography as prints and rights managed licenses.

My #photography website with my blog and image library can be found here:

Folks, here's an #introduction post. I'm Travis Smith but often go by Nep for reasons.

I own a web dev firm, doing custom #eecms & #CraftCMS extremely well, other tools at excellent levels.

Time for an #introduction here as I become a #joinmastodon convert. I’m #canadian from #vancouver & have been living in #london with my #scottish #husband since 2016. I started #programming in 1984 when my parents very generously got me a #ti994a #computer @ Christmas. I worked in #ocean #shipping for several years in the nineties & since 2000 have been a #technology #entrepreneur mostly within the #supplychain. I’m currently CEO & Founder @ sedna.com - obsessed with fixing #email + ❤️ #startups

I gather it helps to write an #Introduction (including that # ) as a pinned tweet that includes a bunch of other hashtags so people can find you on here?

I guess I never did a #introduction post...

I'm Darryl (he/him) and am usually online as dpogue. I'm a software developer from #Vancouver, BC. My interests are in embracing the web platform and pushing the boundaries of web technologies.

I started coding through a modding community for a Myst game (#Mystodon). I'm still active in the open-source engine for Myst Online: Uru Live & also a contributor to the Apache #Cordova project.

I'm also involved in #AmateurRadio as VA7DPO & enjoy hiking.
