Bill C-22 would expand surveillance powers in Canada while lowering protections around subscriber information. Privacy advocates say the reforms could also align Canadian law with US demands for cross-border data access. Writer Kate Robertson explores: https://ow.ly/LQF950Z45mN

alright head cold, you caught me, but you have no idea how hard i can piss.

"If data centres were a country, they would be the second-largest destination for gas turbines ordered from Q1 2025 to Q1 2026" New IEA report confirms this isn't a normal industry. It is a fossil-fuelled, high-polluting heavy industry producing socially corrosive products at massive climate cost.

5/ There's an official petition to withdraw C-22, sponsored by NDP MP @jennykwan.bsky.social. More than 2,600 Canadians have signed. We need more. Add your name and ask others to do the same while it's still at committee: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

i disagree with aftermath's justifications for covering forza horizon 6 because even small acts of solidarity are meaningful but also because they've abdicated responsibilities they gave themselves tellthemidied.blog/2026/05/25/i...

i don't think it's an exaggeration to say that all tech companies are war criminals.

wow that bike maintenance workshop was so interesting, i feel energized [had two large self-serve coffees past 7pm] knowledge is invigorating

hold on ✋ testing “curly hair 008” in our character creator but im suddenly blushin

i've got four learning side-projects going, in various game engines, and despite following easy setup guides, each project is fundamentally broken and refuses to compile in different, esoteric, apparently unheard-of ways. i'm starting to think maybe i'm just bad at stuff.

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

suspecting that this Empire apple may, in fact, be a McIntosh, in much the same way Picard reacts when you pour him a Darjeeling.

well, happy 20th anniversary to An Inconvenient Truth. boy howdy, eh?

it happened again! the ptsd thing, not my google cloud account

I have to go back and finish this one. There's something very wonderful to me that it has such HL2-coded level design (not just because it's a source engine game) even though it's mostly about about falling down storm drains and photographing broken concrete.

It's important to remember that all transphobes can eat shit. Horrible spiteful bastards with no love in their hearts or lives. A smaller, more bitter world is the legacy they will build.

Every time I see someone oversimplify things as Indie Good AAA Bad I wish people remembered that big studios typically behave a lot more like ordinary workplaces, for better and worse. E.g. no shade on Strange Scaffold, but a recent post said "everyone is hourly". Do you REALIZE what that means?

et tu, annie?

why do things? it seems foolish.

oh you vibe coded? how about you vibe fuck off.

google pivots to ai.

ama. fuck it. i'll probably lie.

Are you Canadian? Can you see clearly how this is a terrible idea? Please learn more and contact your MP about it: dontsurveil.me/c22.html

it's not even big enough.

all day long i knew i'd meant to look up something important, and i just couldn't remember what it was, and that was bothering me, on top of a mountain of other things bothering me, but i just remembered what the thing was i wanted to look up and it's the largest format in which costco sells yogurt.
