@codeopinion Paying for libraries and code creates a dependency that could cause issues. What if the license changes, what if the prices get raised, what if it's abandoned, how do you navigate all that? Open source let's you fork, extend, fix things yourself if required.

@johnnyszerdi Miners who arenโ€™t servicing debt obligations will be fine. Most are operating at a gross margin of 40% or better today. As inefficient miners go offline post halving the difficulty will decrease making efficient miners more profitable.

Is this true? @CANADAquakes @bluhock88 @CanadianGeotech . Since the solar cycle determines radio wave propogations is there a relationship between propogations and earthquakes? Interestingly both phenomenon seem to experience local variations. #amateurradio @RACTWEETS

Hey @hackaday please come over to #Mastodon . There is a useful bot I follow with over 4k followers already that reposts your twitter content. So we are here and waiting.

I remember how my late Oma, Mary Hekkenberg never forgot and always held in her heart the soldiers who liberated her town in the Netherlands during WWII. Thank you to all those who serve and have sacrificed for our freedoms ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ. We appreciate you. #RemembranceDay

Have you heard about the #MastodonMigration? Are you wondering how to check out the platform? Nothing says you need to leave twitter permanently or at all. Here is an invitation link I am testing out for the first 50 people following my posts.

Hey @SSC_CA and @TBS_Canada curious if anyone has proposed to run a #Mastodon pilot for both #GC employees and departments? Looks like the @europeanunion was quick out of the gate on this one.

The EU's Mastodon instance, launched in the wake of Elon Musk's Twitter acquisition, is part of an effort to support private, ad-free, open-source software.

@RobButler Then you need to choose a server. So I search for a GC #Mastodon instance server, hoping to find one hosted by @SSC_CA in support of #MastodonInGC . But no luck. So searched for a Canadian server but did not find one initially.
