“The technical assistance demands in the bill arise from complaints from police and CSIS that dealing with providers is inconsistent and unreliable during some time-sensitive investigations” www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

This is a wildly juicy target for hackers: The government says the changes would provide investigators with an organized system "like a filing cabinet, where certain types of information would be available with legal authorization."

I love how in 15 years, governments turned around and said it's fine to cook the planet and every living thing on it.

🇨🇦's #BillC22 is entering committee study this week - and we're hearing it may become law by end of the month. We never say this: but this is the worst, most privacy-breaking bill we've seen. It MUST be stopped. Speak up against it and read on to learn more: www.openmedia.org/StopC22-bsky 1/

ASHG (@geneticssociety.bsky.social) is proposing bylaw changes that include removing its commitment to diversity in committee appointments. A sad day.

In Canada, the elites are never held accountable for anything. We have institutions to supposedly protect the public but the are built without the power to hold anyone accountable—on purpose. If institutional actors are high enough in position they face few-to-no consequences

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

it annoys the fuck out of me that they use Ollama as the name which sounds so close to Allama which is Arabic/Urdu title for someone who is "learned". i am sure some vibe coder somewhere is making an Urdu LLM calling it Ollama Iqbal (after Allama Iqbal). right @pashamkhan.bsky.social ?

sorry can someone explain how privatizing makes it Canadian’s?

The Doug Ford gov't has passed its 2026 budget bill, which officially removes Ontario's right to know. How he governs, why decisions get made—we'll never know. The same bill consolidates conservation authorities. That's your democracy & your drinking water being impacted #onpoli

Here’s my position on whether you buy my book from Amazon. I would strongly prefer you don’t! First of all, the price on Bookshop is exactly the same right now (mod shipping). Libro will give you the same audio and ownership of the files! Kobo ebooks and readers are great!

I'm *very* excited to report that we got initial funding and have hired our first Rust maintainers! RustNL's Rust Maintainers Team starts out with two full time maintainers, one intern, and five part-time maintainers, now stably employed to continue their work on Rust! 🎉 rustnl.org/maintainers/
