Now the MOST critical piece of Canada's climate policy...so let's just open it up for comment while most people are away on vacation or taking time off to spend with family, etc.
Opened on December 19, 2025 and will close to new input on January 30, 2026.
SMH. Are they hoping this flies under the radar?

@Em0nM4stodonEm For software, most definitely. One of the deeper joys I’ve had as a former software developer, is seeing how the FOSS model took hold, and has thrived.
But looking back at some other former vaporware-pushing, Beemer and Bling-fixated people I worked with, and the monetary and subsequent social success they’ve enjoyed, I don’t see that model going away anytime soon. 🫤
@subm3rgesͧb̴ͫƸ̴gͬᵉ @Em0nM4stodonEm I know. It is a little soul crushing. I'm doing my best to resist dehumanization while still working in tech. The fight is constant.
@Em0nM4stodonEm … said no quarter-closings bonus-driven salesperson *ever*.
As an engineer I love this, but it’s a fantasy, in commercial software at least.
@subm3rgesͧb̴ͫƸ̴gͬᵉ @Em0nM4stodonEm Only a fantasy when profit is the only motive. Capitalism is not inevitable. Other systems of living are possible.

I really enjoyed my visit to Bologna this year.
So if you want a reason to check out this lovely city, i encourage you to pitch!

Anna's Archive backed up Spotify. They got 99.9% of metadata, and 300TB of music representing 86 million tracks - original 160kbps OGG for tracks with popularity>0, and re-encoded 75kbps for popularity=0. absolutely wild project.
the metadata in particular is a hugely useful data source. MusicBrainz catalogues 5 million unique ISRCs (like ISBNs but for music releases), whereas this archive has a whopping 186 million.

Missed the PyCon US 2026 CFP deadline because you were “just about to submit”? ⌛
If you too are a “professional procrastinator”, don’t worry, this is your lucky exception 😉
The CFP for PyCon is still open…
just not the one in Long Beach 🏖️

Currently doing a #BBQ for a family member's company Christmas party. Hoping all goes well.
Meanwhile, Da Fonz has got everything covered. 
I dream that one day, rustup toolchain installs will be able to run concurrently without corrupting the shit out of each other
@fasterthanlimeamos it's being worked on. Any help, as ever, is much appreciated https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/issues/988#issuecomment-3323542617
