For decades, Canadians eagerly rushed onto US tech platforms and services. But now the drawbacks of that dependence are on full display.

For the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, I explain the economic and political consequences of a US-dominated internet — and why digital sovereignty is imperative.

Gatekeepers of Law: Inside the Westlaw and LexisNexis Duopoly

Ever since a spate of mergers in the 1990s, Westlaw and LexisNexis have dominated legal research. And that might be why searching legal cases is so costly, even in the age of AI.

Die Petition "Keine Führung eigener Register zur Erfassung von trans* und nichtbinärer Personen" hat soeben 30.000 Mitzeichnungen erreicht.

Danke Euch allen! 🏳️‍⚧️ :intersex_flag: :nonbinary_flag:

Es ist aber wichtig, dass weiter mitgezeichnet wird, zum einen, um zu unterstreichen, wie wichtig dieses Anliegen ist, zum anderen, um etwaige ungültige Mitzeichnungen auszugleichen.

*(long tired sigh)*

Help? :boost_ok:

$0/200

We got paycheck advances. We got help from friends. Found credit reserves. Worked as many hours as our jobs would let us. And still we're a couple hundred short of where we need to be for bills.

I'd appreciate any help folks can spare. Boosting into wider view is always appreciated as well. You're all lovely and someday we'll be able to send help the other way again.

미 정부가 인플레이션 제어를 포기한것 같고 오히려 놔둬서 정부 빚을 녹이려고 한다는것이 꽤 사실 같구만... 원자재 관련 ETF 엄청 오르네 ㅎㅎ 금은동 투자가 최고입니다 (먼산) 근데 주가는 왜 오르는지 모르겠음;;

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

no they didn’t. 1) Microsoft renamed the "Microsoft 365 app" (a hub app that was called the Office app in the past) to "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" a year ago 🪨 2) Office became Microsoft 365 in 2022, and it remains Microsoft 365 3) thanks for coming to my TED talk

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber Oh! interesting.. That's also one way to put a workstation together.

What's your "weird new keyboard and monitor setup"? I was also considering the Reform, but more the Reform Next.

The Pocket Reform has the advantage to be that quirky small computer thingy which would be carried around in movies like Hackers or any cyberpunk-esque story.

Nothing says: "I'm an elite hacker let me through here! I need to fix the Gibson!" than weird tech dangling everywhere over oneself.
