You gave a stranger with no soul and no skin in the game the keys to everything you own.

Equal work deserves equal pay.

Three years ago, the EU adopted the Pay Transparency Directive.

Now, EU countries are bringing these new rules into national law:
✔️ Pay transparency for jobseekers
✔️ Right to information for employees
✔️ Gender pay gap reporting
✔️ Joint pay assessments

Because equal pay starts with pay transparency.

Glad to speak with MPs about #BillC22's many problems today; but good intentions are not enough, only massive amendments or striking Part 2 can save this bill and make it safe for rights in 🇨🇦. https://cheknews.ca/mps-get-an-earful-from-anti-surveillance-group-over-lawful-access-bill-1328174/

"I can see how most people would be bullied into submission by a threat like that." Will Freeman created https://DeFlock.me to track the locations of ALPR surveillance cameras. When Flock Safety came after him with legal threats, EFF helped him fight back. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/get-flock-out-here

In case anyone has missed it, #canada's #billc22 is a massive government overreach that would require tech companies to install government backdoors in their platforms. The legislation will lead to an exodus of tech companies from #canada (including us!) and will result in a loss of access to online services for Canadian's. It needs to be stopped. Please, write to your MP and demand that Bill C-22 be shelved -https://action.openmedia.org/page/188754/action/1?locale=en-US

gonna gently push back that there's no reason (according to github's version of the story) to associate this with AI or with spectacular incompetence on the part of the employee; the issue is that industry standard, extremely widely used text editor Visual Studio Code has a big button that says "click here to add useful functionality to do your job" that has a 1% chance of installing ransomware

Dogs are OK, and all, but personally I prefer foxes -- cat software running on dog hardware. 🦊

I like how the article says "again"; it's exploded 5 times so far!

I like the Register's headline: "Anthropic’s bug-hunting Mythos was greatest marketing stunt ever, says cURL creator"

... even though I did not say that. 😂

It’s hard to be more tone deaf than telling a roomful of graduating students that AI is the next Industrial Revolution.

College students are the modern day Luddites who were victims of machines taking their jobs as textile workers.

This part.

I didn't spend the last year going out of my way to buy Canadian, and especially to avoid buying American, only to have our national and provincial assets sold off to enrich foreign companies, especially American ones.

Got Qwen 3.6 Coder running locally on my M4 Mac Mini with 64GB of RAM (so I can run the larger models). I've got my dev machine pointing at it over the network.

I gave it a PLAN.md file to set up a basic node project with pglite as a database and Drizzle as the ORM. It took about 8-10 minutes to churn though the plan, build the database schema and run migrations.

Not bad for running at just 25W of power.

This is the first litigation of this particular flavor that I remember seeing. Feels to me like Google might be in dangerous territory.
