Canadian techie into digital sovereignty, decentralised identity and resilient, interoperable systems. Fueled by coffee, guided by logic, sustained by sarcasm. Stoic humanist, vet and indie author trying to make sense of the noise. Say hi, bonjour. 🇨🇦☕

Well, I feel a lot less weird having an account here now. 😄 Canada as the EU’s first “associate member”? I’m genuinely excited. And if anyone here needs the Canadian angle on things, that’s pretty much why I’m on Mu. 🇨🇦🇪🇺 ❤️‍🔥

I’ve been spending a little more time on @gandersocial.ca . The feed feels different. People tell stories. Founders answer questions. Bugs get called bugs. Chapman’s posts about ice cream. I wrote about why that matters to me, and why digital sovereignty is more than where we park the servers.

A Canadian Social Network Is Not the Point
Taking a break from algorithmic sludge, and finding a small Canadian corner of the internet that still feels human (actual humans).

No summary today, just a new article - “Lake America” is not legal annexation. It is annexationist language: repeat a false name long enough, put it on enough maps, and people begin assuming it belongs to you. Borders do not always move first. Sometimes the maps do.

Morning. Thar she blows. U.S. changed terms, slapped tariffs, then blamed Canada. We had CUSMA. They broke it and want credit for worse. Fuck that. Alberta seppies want America: president, guns, “lawful sexual orientation.” Red flag. CNE mac-and-cheese smoothies. Society’s broken. Coffee on. ☕🇨🇦

Bluesky isn’t failing. We’re just looking at it wrong. MAU is down. Fine. But AT Protocol is growing in other ways: more apps, more PDSes, more AppViews, more Lexicons, more sovereign infrastructure. Check out my new article. #offprint

Bluesky Is Flat. Fine. Look Under the Hood.

Morning. Rain again. I’m in a mood: data breach tied to a political push, barely examined, while the same crowd shouts “integrity” when it suits them. And the census? Fill it out. That’s how your community gets funded. It's not control. 🙄 Coffee’s on. Build better. Do better.☕️📖

Fantastic! This is my first post on EuroSky. Love that the PDS is in Europe. Who has transferred their account? I believe that you need to use the EU-Haul. I'm building an AT app in my spare time. Follow me here for details as I get it going.
