A thread to Stop ID Surveillance from coming to Canada ⛔️🧵

Yesterday, I sent a long letter to the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, the Culture Minister Marc Miller, and the leaders of all other major federal parties in Canada.

I sent this letter to voice my concerns about the upcoming bill that is planned to be introduced today at 5 p.m. ET, to propose a ban of social media for children, therefore requiring all social media platforms to identify every adults accessing it.

This is a long thread of what I wrote (mute me for one hour if you don't want to see it).

Feel free to copy any parts you want to share in your own letter of opposition sent to your representatives this week.

Oh damn, we're closing in on 90K followers. Impressive stuff from the Fediverse / Mastodon.

Reach test post: please boost this dispatch from your friends at #SaskNDP for Social Media

Whatsapp, Instagram and Facebook are all owned by Meta who has actively harmful policies regarding transphobic hate speech.

Edit: far as I can tell, they avoided posting this on Meta's platforms entirely.

I suspect the people who DO need to see this and feel seen are here instead. Prove me right and boost this around the Fediverse for me?

Hello #Mastodon / #Fediverse !

I have been #developing a #forum based #frontend for Mastodon. I think it would be neat for some longer form #conversations and honestly, I am just old school and like the format.

It is just a static React page that I'll throw up on a GitPage! Compared to trying to work with #Matrix and a #VTT this has been really nice.

No ETA to when I'll throw it out to the world, but I know I need to at least come up with a better name..

When you're preparing a PR, after you've run all the tests and linted and benchmarked and polished and so on, do you do a `git diff` and take a visual scan through all the changes?

@simontatham i think this is not quite what you're describing but I have this in my ~/.gitconfig and it made a huge difference for me (it's why the "20 random semi-abandoned branches" system is workable)

Hola, #TTRPG folk, when creating #adventures , do you have any #tools for #planning decision chains? I have been working on an adventure that is almost #roguelike in how it can spread out in a big decision tree changing a ton of variables, and I am getting a little overwhelmed.

I am almost at the point where I may actually set up a board with yarn and that feels like a rabbit hole I should try to avoid!

what team are you on

I'm seeing basically nothing of #RedDressDay in my feed, which surprises me.

Women, girls, 2-Spirit and other individuals from Indigenous nations still disappear or turn up murdered *far* more than any other group in Canada. Much remains to be done, and even knowing about the problem is low-bar Step One. #mmiwg #mmiwg2s

How many people know that #WordPress was co-founded by a black man, Mike Little?

Or that he's from the north of England? A self-taught coder from #Stockport, just south of #Manchester? Or that he never received so much as a share, cent or job offer from the $7bn+ valued Automattic after spending five months working exclusively with Matt Mullenweg on the B2 fork?

After @bevangelist told me about @mikelittle I interviewed him for a documentary I never got round to making. Back then I was left with two certainties: he's Wozniak to Mullenweg's Jobs. Among other things he added the one-click upgrade that's been central to WP's bonkers 45%-of-the-web-success. And he's one of the nicest people I've ever interviewed, which is also bonkers given that he not only didn't share in WP's financial success, but that he's barely known.

But he should be - so, better late than never - please meet #MikeLittle, perhaps the most-influential-least-known person in #foss… https://25.netribution.co.uk/nic/mike-little-the-british-co-founder-of-wordpress-youve-probably-never-heard-of/

This.

Again, if the topic of discussion is the intersection of racism and ableism, in particular, anti-Black racism and Tourette syndrome with coprolalia, listen to people who have expertise and lived experience with both.♥️👍🏿

And they will say the same things that I and other Black folk have said.

Gamers shouldn't be ignoring what's happening across the country.

This goes doubly for Black and Brown folks!
