kʷiisaḥiʔis is FREE! She swam out of the lagoon at high tide last night on her own! ❤️❤️

Yay. This brings me actual joy.
(Her name is pronounced “Kwii-sa-heat-eess” it means ‘Brave Little Hunter’)

""With this part of the challenge solved by kʷiisaḥiʔis herself, every opportunity needs to be afforded to have her back with her family with as little human interaction as possible," he said.”

I hope she finds her family soon!

@fifilamoura this makes me sad. It probably won't change my mind.... but at least we have Woz.

:(

@fifilamoura you might very well be right. If he was still alive I might be just as disappointed in him as I am afraid of the lunatics in Silicon Valley now. Maybe he would have been inevitably corrupted by the obscene success and power of Apple.

But I do remember this quote from Ellison about the day he said he tried to convince Jobs to allow him to buy Apple:

Jobs said:
"‘Larry, this is why it’s so important that I’m your friend. You don’t need any more money.’ (https://www.cio.com/article/238191/how-larry-ellison-plotted-to-buy-apple-and-make-steve-jobs-ceo.html)

But I guess that's the benefit Jobs gets of dying early in life… less time to corrupt.

Let's say it out loud. There is an anti-worker, anti-social, downright fascist and pseudo-nationalist vein running through Silicon Valley. Whether it's Musk, Google, Ellison in the backroom, or this CoinBro, it runs deep and wide.

I remember when Steve Jobs and Larry Ellision were, famously, best friends. I wonder what Steve would say today. On BitCoin and AI and all this neo-fascist BS…

At risk of sounding like I am calling upon a saviour... I wish he was here.

“For evidence of that look no further than Tesla. “

Yes... because apparently the failing car company run by a “mercurial” Nazi-buffoon and the companies who bet on him (Hertz) are the best measures…

He could have at least lead with this as the headline rather than burying it as the last sentence: “Most change happens in fits and spurts — that's probably the road ahead for EVs as well.”

I get that Actors become famous with their names, but having that essentially codified at the union membership level is definitely the stupidest, most arcane bit of elitist nonsense I've ever heard.

"The national chief said staff wanted to put her headdress in cargo storage because there was no room in the cabin, and that the situation got tense. She said the flight crew threatened her staff, and other passengers stood up for her.”

Shout out to “other passengers [who] stood up for her”! ❤️

This is a demonstration of the enshitification of [air] travel taken on a new level.. disrespecting Indigenous Leaders.

@RustyBertrand the great beauty of the #opensocialweb is the endless choice.
The hidden challenge of the #opensocialweb is who controls those choices.

If you don't care about geography, I would suggest ottawa.place as a good landing spot. It is small but well federated.

@GeoffyPJohnston oh look another news article that only mentions the safety of the white people... and also mentions genocide, but not the genocide that is actually ongoing with thousands dying under a murderous occupation. Why Geoffrey? Why is it only ever one side??

@MrInappropriate by the time they do will his supporters care or find it objectionable?

@Cassandra i thought I would try the information commissioner first from an access perspective. But I will definitely try the privacy commissioner next

@ber@zirk.us why live if you just die anyway?

@DaWoDerPfeffer @NMBA under the Conservative Party of Canada, yes, they would try to join, like Austria, or Italy.

Otherwise, no we are not the 51st state. We have very different checks and balances.

@DaWoDerPfeffer 😬

I am going to be super busy all day, but this response from the Office of the Information Commissioner of Canada just came into my inbox. I argued Public Safety Canada (emergency communications) services were violating privacy laws using corporate social media. They say they don't have jurisdiction to make the call. Would be interested in your guys thoughts on a response before I have time to think on mine.

@NMBA I would expect him to invade Mexico first and then just subvert Canada with people like Poillievre

The Supreme Court of the USA is seeing arguments that would allow a coup and end to democracy in that country. This is not an exaggeration.
Canada should also see this, and respond in defence of democracy.
