Ottawa chatrooms:

Please note the following:

* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

Twice in the past week I've seen cops parked behind cars on the side of the Queensway. I assume they're giving tickets for some kind of traffic infraction.

It's glorious.

Hopefully they are busting people on their phones while driving. It’s absurd how many people do it now, and it’s glaringly obvious that they are doing it.

It seems like it's everyone these days. I always look at other people at a stoplight and see at least one person every time I'm out.

On my daily commute I see dozens.
