If you want your name (you don't need to be Canadian!) on the letter that goes to officials in Canada's Parliament advocating for using services you need to let me know before 9AM PDT tomorrow (Monday Jun 3).

Letter is here:
https://chrisalemany.ca/2024/05/31/open-letter-to-parliament-of-canada-adopt-open-services-for-social-communications/

I'll continue adding signatures to the web version after that deadline.

This will be the only time for non-Canadians to make their voice heard!

I may have another Canadian-only opportunity for action at a later date.

All these games being remade for modern platforms, yet not one peep about a gritty CHOPLIFTER reboot. C'mon. There's tons of material to mine there. You could have all different scenarios: coast guard rescues, UN evacuations, medical, military, transportation, TV news ...

I wasn't entirely a fan of using markdown checkmark lists for my shopping list in (Ultimately, I'm still looking for a replacement for Wunderlist), so I'm trying a new approach: using a kanban board. 😂

The resistance efforts to the HPV vaccine, based as it was in rank misogyny and puritanism, was a strong early signal that we were well and truly fucked for the efficacy of public health messaging. And we still are.

Imagine working for a company that is so well managed, that is so well organized and competently led, that a genuinely felt need for a tool that let you be in three meetings at the same time somehow emerged organically from the working culture as a problem worth solving.

Imagine working somewhere that building a tool that let people be in three meetings at the same time sounded like a good idea.

@mhoye The first one doesn't exist. The second one exists all too frequently, but shouldn't.

@shawnhooper That bridge truss kept Dali stuck there for longer than Liz Truss was prime minister.

Generative AI can't create, but only recombine, you say? And yet another movie studio has announced a strategy of sequels and reboots to mine their IP, you say?

@kiplet @mhoye That's different! An LLM can recombine in ways.
