I gave a talk last week about tech billionaires (we really don't like them) and how to fight them (labour organizing, it's always labour organizing). Come take a 9-minute break from producing shareholder value and watch! Thanks to @thewalrus.ca for inviting me for #WalrusTalks 🍁

Learned that the generic industry term for Churos, the cat treat that comes out of a squeezable tube is “lickable” The post ZIRP riskmaxxxing time we live in is a world where we can freely buy smokables, edibles, injectables, and now lickables.

Setting up MFA on a new Amazon account and it's asking me to enter two consecutive codes. I've never seen an application ask for two consecutive OTP codes before. What do they know that I don't?

Enter a code from your virtual app below
Wait 30 seconds, and enter a second code entry.

Just saw a cyclist say “you’re still following me?!” to a car parking on the street. They both got out to talk to each other … and ended up commiserating about how scary it is to both bike and drive in this city. No conflict no drama just bros being bros. Spring is here.

Adults love to talk about the impact of technology on kids, but we so rarely listen to the kids themselves. Next week's Wayfinding event is trying to change that: a panel of teenagers talking about their relationship with technology. Join us on Wednesday

As an Canadian-American, things have been pretty weird and tough lately. It was a privilege to get to work on something meaningful like this.

I've noticed some of my old @signal.org groups suddenly getting new banner photos out of nowhere that seem AI generated. Is this happening to anyone else? Is @signal.org running some kind of AI experiment or are different unrelated friends trolling me at once?
