Our #bear was back today! I've picked a good spot for the camera, so many deer, rabbits, squirrels, (rats) and a racoon so far - but he is the star of the show. #wildlifecamera #vancouverisland

There had been news of a #bear in our area, so I put up a camera behind our house. Within two hours we saw him! Big, beautiful black bear - we're giving him space 😱 #VancouverIsland #wildlifecamera

A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

This week: sunnydeveloper.com/the-anti-ai-... #opensource #ai

By Jim Benton

A key lesson of the last year of building open models, once it became so obvious the US is behind, is that talk is cheap. Many people say they're helping / want to help but actually don't do anything. Finding the few people who genuinely push open forward is crucial.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Canada needs more tools for online protection, not less. Write one: www.internetsociety.org/our-work/int...

My #fitbit became #GoogleHealth today, and I'm not OK. Alternatives? it's a rare piece of tech I use every day:( I was in denial until today, but now FB app is gone entirely.

More of this please.

Cribbage & a dog! Great combo!

This makes me so angry www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/u...

Canada must wake up to the threat unfolding in Alberta. With the arrival of the Russian Internet Research Agency" Danielle Smith's disinformation dumpster fire is about to burst into a four-alarm fire. It will threaten Canada. I have been tracking this group for years. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Yes

lmfao

1. Idaho banned the pride flag on government property. So Boise made the pride flag their official city flag, which allowed them to fly it. Then Idaho banned new city flags. So in response, Boise has now wrapped the poles themselves in rainbows! Subscribe to support our journalism.

really slow clap when you're the Electronic Frontier Foundation and you are *finally* leaving Twitter. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

🚨 Heads up: there's a social engineering attack ongoing against open source developers on Slack lists.openssf-vuln.org/g/siren/mess...

github itself hosts a plethora of RAT repos that are used in attacks like this all the time

Our liberation is all interconnected. We can't fight for gender justice without defending transgender people.

Digital Sovereignty in #Canada: Why Education Is the Place to Start sunnydeveloper.com/digital-sove...

"the LA case is being considered so important because it advances a new legal theory: that a software product such as a social media app can be defective and cause personal injury." www.theguardian.com/media/ng-int....

The thing is the *entire internet* is different now than it was a decade ago (and, largely, not for the better). All of this is interrelated and there's no going *backwards* only forward. So work for a better future, don't angle for a return to an idealized past.

Here's the thing: there is no going back to a different era of Twitter. This doesn't replace it, Threads doesn't replace it, Twitter doesn't replace it. That era is dead, no return, it was a very fun 5-10 year window or so that dragged on past its prime until it dropped off a cliff.

What a great sales pitch because everyone loves Com Ed and paying the water bill.

People are engaging w/ my #opensource sustainability playbooks (yay) on GitHub, but did you know, they are also presented as services on oss-wishlist.com/catalog ? The catalogue includes description of 'impact' for business perspective to help advocate for budget (employee or funded time)

What seems most lacking is helping users practically understand #AI's output in the context of human values, and giving them the ability to change or challenge what they see; To be actually open This is what I 'learned by doing' #openeducation #opensource sunnydeveloper.com/right-clicki...

This Friday: #OpenSource Practitioner Call on Digital Sovereignty in #Canada. What does #sovereign, #open, shared infrastructure look like for Canada? What can we learn from and build with Europe? We'll look at what's starting to happen ~ challenges and opportunities luma.com/785dboag

i just think if you're biggest critique of AI is about copyright you're telling on yourself. AI surveillance could end human liberty as we know it AI decision making threatens permanently bake systemic racism & patriarchy into every aspect of society "you stole my song" is just... idgaf man

Seems so long ago now but there was a while where most tech luminaries were just sorta awkward weirdos and not full-bore Bond villains.

One of the motivations behind #OpenSource Wishlist was to promote the knowledge that we actually know exactly how to fix MOST sustainability issues, but you need to pay someone to do the work sunnydeveloper.com/open-source-...

Trans youth deserve to live free of fear and bullying, especially from the President.

One hundred accounts are behind the majority of conspiracy theory content in Canada #Propaganda #Canada According to the report, just 100 users are responsible for almost 70 per cent of all online conspiracy claims in Canada. /1 thread www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/25/n...

History often rhymes with itself.

Not sure if I'm getting this right yet, but it does seem like a rupture is imminent for #opensource and focusing on the human contract over profit/ power is going to be (never more) important. Holding a call to talk about that March 13 (linked at bottom) sunnydeveloper.com/open-source-...

Very proud

😢

Apparently we are going to the pub at 5am tomorrow for the USA #Canada game. 🏒 Why not, honestly. #GoCanadaGo

Sunny is 17 today, and gets a special bone to celebrate 😀 ❤️ #Westie #DogsofBluesky

#OpenSource Wishlist is moving under Open Future: a focus on community as infrastructure for reclaiming open. sunnydeveloper.com/open-future-...

We need more critique like this:"He uses a so-called “#opensource LLM” & that’s very much how he presents his values but OSS LLMs do not really exist. You can download some weights but cannot understand what went into them or really change or reproduce.. OSS AI is just marketing & openwashing"

That was too close, again. Stressful but gold medal game here we come #GoCanadaGo

Chin up, Team Canada. The women did us proud. Heck of a game. 🏒🇨🇦 🥈

😭

I don't know how this will end but #Canadian women's hockey team are killing it early - on completely different show than last USA game #GoCanadaGo

Canada still has no meaningful AI regulation As the industry grows and the federal government goes “all-in,” it’s increasingly important to adopt a policy framework that will protect Canadians from known harms www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...
