Sponsoring #opensource often means putting $ into what amounts to a tip jar. Great but sometimes too ambiguous for both giver and receiver. OSS-wishlist oss-wishlist.com/about-us is a new concept by @sunnydeveloper.bsky.social to bring more clarity to who needs what and who can supply what

Moments ago, Premier Danielle Smith's government made a terrifying decision and introduced legislation to suspend the charter-protected rights of transgender young people in Alberta.

Now is the time to act. Visit www.stop-smith.ca to sign our petition denouncing this draconian erosion of freedom.

"Sovereign Cloud", glad to hear Canada starting to use the words of digital sovereignty, we've lagged behind EU
THIS is what true leaders sound like.

They don't brag about how great they are or speak nonsense about sharks, batteries, & magnets. They work for ALL the people & the ENTIRE country, focusing on prosperity.

Mostly, they don't attack, maim & kill their own citizens.

In person community is everything right now.
here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol
Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

Good on the Python Foundation for rejecting this NSF grant that I'm sure they need. Wild to see who's willing to stand up. www.theregister.com/2025/10/27/p...

I donated $25 to the Python Software Foundation.

Did I do that to post about it social media? Yes. Did I also do it because I think that the Python programming language is awesome, and PSF and PyCon are awesome, and they need more funding? Also yes.

If you are in #Alberta or know someone who is , sign and share this transactionalberta.ca , it may not stop her, but it shows the collective strength of those who oppose. Using the notwithstanding clause to strip human rights is unacceptable!

It's more imperative than ever that you don't rely on platforms to get needed information out. Build websites!!
Following Apple’s removal of ICEBlock, both Google and Apple have removed a similar app for reporting ICE raids called Red Dot.

Google states it removed the app for targeting a vulnerable group that is at risk of violence — ICE agents.
Google Calls ICE Agents a Vulnerable Group, Removes ICE-Spotting App ‘Red Dot’
The move comes as Apple removed ICEBlock after direct pressure from U.S. Department of Justice officials and signals a broader crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

I can’t begin to tell you how damaging “the world isn’t fair, get used to it” line has been to every child’s psyche growing up and therefore has led to a world that stays unfair. If we teach children to get used to an unfair world, we are destroying the possibility of a better world.

Was reminded today that being silent about injustice in front of your children teaches them to be silent about injustice. They still see and know it, but they’re left all alone to interpret it. Through your silence, it is immediately normalized.
