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...

FBI director tells Americans not to bring guns to protests, schools still okay

High school students using AI to write college application essays that are then graded by AI from admissions departments is a great example of how AI usage devalues systems while people can accurately point to “productivity gains” from using AI.

Bellingcat, as expected, has excellent frame-by-frame analysis. If the man had a gun, he never wielded it.

and let’s keep it a band most of the people shocked Are only shocked about it because it’s starting to be applied to white people ln ways they can’t ignore And I’m angry not because I sit in judgement. I ain’t sure I care at this point It’s that we can’t MOVE til we hit that awareness

We already know there’s US money funding the Alberta sovereignty movement. Members of the Trump administration are making it clear that pushing Alberta secession is part of their fascist project.

My daughter and I saw Offspring last night - so much fun! Fantastic show. So fun to just sing, dance and be happy together with hundreds of others. #yyj

Trying to protect everything from everyone all the time will drive you crazy. Here is what you should do about your digital privacy and security instead. I talked to KQED's Close All Tabs about threat modeling: www.kqed.org/news/1207053...

ICE’s actions tear families apart, intimidate communities, & undermine the conditions that make education, research, healthcare, & public trust possible. We’re calling on scientists to join the general anti-ICE strike in Minnesota on January 23rd.

"TO hope that compliance buys safety...it won't" I am proud to see Canada showing leadership like this on the global stage (but like Rachel want to see this at home too).

Craziest article : "Rodents of all shapes and sizes are charging 80-pound dogs, dillydallying out in the daytime" “We have a lattice that one day I saw so many rats on, that the weight of them actually pulled it down midday.” 🐀 🐁 🐭 #yyj cheknews.ca/rat-invasion...

Two days of actual sunshine, and actual sunlight - was enthusiastically welcomed and enjoyed today. #Schnauzer

We are quickly coming up on 50,000 whistles shipped so far in January, and I am just forever impressed by the passion of the folks who have joined forces with us! A reminder that if you know anyone who needs whistles, they can email the address at the top of our linktree! linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

The American owned Sun media chain are doing the propaganda work of quislings.

When big news breaks, misinformation spreads fast. It’s often hard to filter fact from fiction. Our 2024 guide remains relevant today, outlining what to look out for when it comes to misleading analysis. www.bellingcat.com/resources/20...

A key way to help stop ICE is "providing people with concrete, outward-facing activities... while building an escalating national campaign that can culminate in larger coordinated days of nonviolent disruption..." Learn more here: www.thenation.com/article/acti...

"We’re going to be doing something with Greenland, either the nice way or the difficult way.”-trump Mob lawyer Roy Cohn was Trump's biggest political influence. It's always been about shakedown and threat. Time for Canada and Europe to stop pretending. We stand up to gangster fascists or roll over

I wrote my intentions for openness in 2026: safe, paid, attributed, community-driven. Hoping our paths cross in one of these areas! I will be at #FOSDEM and #CHAOSScon sunnydeveloper.com/safe-paid-at... #opensource #openeducation #opendata #openscience #opensourceAI

Billionaires added $2.2 TRILLION in wealth in 2025. Elon Musk grew his wealth by $187 billion. Jeff Bezos grew his wealth by $14.6 billion. Mark Zuckerberg grew his wealth by $26 billion. The Trump era has been good to Trump’s billionaire donors, & terrible for the rest of us.

It's not an option to cross the border in either direction right now. Wish @linuxfoundation.org would consider would consider a Canadian parallel event to the US #OpenSource NA Summit: events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-...

The National Post is owned by a right wing American hedge fund. They are the official opposition to all things Canadian. While US governors and tourism operators cry out about the Canadian boycott, the Post promotes the few quislings who would sell our country out. A parcel of rogues in a nation.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.
