A piece from me in the Toroto Star today, I'll flesh out my concerns more in a post later, but the Eglinton Crosstown is good, which is a problem, because while the stations are palatial, the streetcar style trains are not high capacity.

I woke up at 3:55 this morning to stand in -25 degree weather for two hours and visit every station of the Eglinton Crosstown. This 8000-word essay contains all of my thoughts and a whole lot of photos. The overall takeaway? It's good, but there's things to improve.

We'd love to hear from the Delhivery.com team. Our tile.openstreetmap.org service is run by volunteers and funded by donations. We've had to block Delhivery's app from using our tile service due to the strain it placed on us. We tried reaching out, but were directed to their app not available in our team's region.

Unfortunately spam and abuse - like anywhere on the Internet - can be a problem in public channels on the Jabber/XMPP network.
That's why the next version of #Conversations_im is combining ban and message deletion (moderation) into one step.

Let's hope you won't need that functionality very often.
