The way we talk about housing in public discourse is so broken. How does kicking unhoused people out onto the street "deal with" homelessness in any sense other than a murderous one?

"Montreal's public transit agency is lifting a temporary rule against loitering in the Metro — a controversial measure established in mid-March to help deal with rising social problems in the network, including homelessness."

Dmitry is back again with another minimal computer. Last time he managed to boot #Linux on an #Intel4004¹. Now he wants to run #vi, #gcc, and #make, ends up doing it on a tiny #STM #microcontroller with a luxurious 32K of flash and 8K of RAM. The 4004-based machine took a *week* to boot, this one takes just a minute!

It's again made possible w/ #MIPS #emulation. The overclocked host CPU emulates a MIPS #R3000 at 1.65MHz with FPU disabled.

Random Montrealness: Someone is playing “O Canada” on a saxophone in the subway.

The instinct to stop and sing is strong. But I want to get home.

Montréalité aléatoire: Quelqu’un joue le “Ô Canada” sur un saxophone dans le métro.

L’instinct de s’arrêter et le chanter est fort. Mais je veux rentrer à la maison.

Oh, things you never see… An STM bus on the South (actually east) shore.

Also, the bus number in the rear window is in blue (29-099)

Aussi, le numéro de bus dans la fenêtre arrière est en bleu (20-099).

CBCFeds to give over $1 billion in extra funds for Quebec infrastructure projects | CBC NewsThe Canadian government announced it will give more than $1.1 billion to Quebec in additional funding to support the extension of Montreal Metro's Blue line and the construction of Quebec City's tramway.

All the bus stops at Lionel-Groulx station have been cancelled, because of a protest.

I have no idea where they are now. The STM gave no information. Even their staff is clueless.

Tous les arrêts à la station Lionel-Groulx sont annulés, à cause d’une manifestation. Je n’ai aucune idée où ils sont désormais. La STM n’a fourni aucune information. Même leur personnel n’en sait rien.
