The ‘Buy Canadian’ consumer movement is more than just talk — and now the numbers prove it esp in coffee, fruit juices, travel and stocks.
“Canadians took almost 10 million or 25 per cent fewer trips to the US last year.
The biggest drop was in trips across the border by land which fell by 8.4 million or 30 per cent.
Trips by air were down 1.2 million or 12 per cent.”

This is happening all over the world especially in legal & tax departments where people who are supposed to uphold laws are using AI and creating a mess. There are no laws in place to ban AI in medical, law, or many such sensitive matters/industries where one could go homeless or worse die due to made up laws or treatments for people by LLM/AI. But, at least tech bros are making dollars? right? 🤡

The first UK opinion poll conducted following the Green Party’s win in the Gorton And Denton by-election is quite something:
Reform: 23% (-1)
Green: 21% (+4)
Labour: 16% (-2)
Conservative: 16% (-2)
Lib Dem: 14% (=)
“The Greens are now the most popular party in all age categories under 50. Some 49% of 18-24 year olds would back the Greens, as well as 27% of 25 to 49-year-olds.”

Israel used 2,000+ bombs in the first 30 hours of the Iran war; the US struck 1,000+ targets in the first 24 hours. Iran responded with at least 390 missiles and 830 drones in the first two days. Bellingcat has tracked the munitions used by all sides so far: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03/03/bombs-will-fall-everywhere-the-american-israeli-and-iranian-weapons-being-deployed-in-middle-east/?utm_source=mstdn

Okay so while I was living in Singapore, I had a crush on a young woman here, but then found out that she was in a long term relationship with a man, so I didn’t do anything about the crush and moved on.
Just had dinner with her to catch up.
Not only did she dump the boyfriend. She’s now in a relationship with a woman.
I feel robbed.
Still we had a lot of fun and I’m super happy that she’s in a more fun and more functional relationship now.

Do I know anyone who's implemented an #ActivityPub service in #python ?
Which libs would you recommend?
What do you advise I learn?
today github is down with:
upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. retried and the latest reset reason: remote connection failure, transport failure reason: delayed connect error: Connection refused
so.. they have some golang in their stack?

I was just made aware of this yesterday. Several #ONDP MPP's introduced Bill 91, a #RightToRepair bill in the #Ontario Legislature.
Anything you can do to build awareness/support for this bill in your community would be appreciated.
@simuloJan D In general, my typing speed is rarely the bottleneck of my dev. Perhaps that's because I type at a pretty reasonable pace, and I use languages with very low amounts of boilerplate (and where nearly any boilerpoint can be abstracted away) and in the rare places where there are boilerplate (srfi-9 records come to mind) I have editor support to make typing them in fast through yasnippet.
In general, typing speed tends to correspond to the rate at which I can think, and a lot of the pauses come from needing to get up, pace around, think about the problem, get some tea, sit down again after a revelation. Or playing around with the idea iteratively and discovering the solution.
Lots of people are talking about LLMs as typing assistants and I just generally don't feel like that's a thing I need (excepting the RSI aspects; I do think more voice-driven editor piloting would be a good option to use sometimes)
@simuloJan D To put it another way: a lot of people are now using tools that help them type *faster* than they can think. What are the consequences of that upon your work, and your understanding thereof?

"Reducing typing" seems to be an important value for some software developers. Is there some material origin to this? I.e. was too much typing ever a problem itself?
(Triggered by an add for an LLM that announced that programmers need to type less code, but the idea is not new)

I think that is actually the biggest problem with those systems.
It's not losing some random skill that we have made superflous, it's about taking skills that are the foundation for your agency in this world and your ability to understand it.
It is a fundamental human right that is being taken from you for the sake of efficiency and convenience.

Their makers also do not want you to be able to understand. It's about turning the means of understanding and sensemaking into externalized products to rent.
