"It's about creating a better world, a healthier planet, keeping more things out of the landfill & more money in our pockets, & being able to exercise a little bit more autonomy about our decisions" @R2Rprof discusses changes in 🇨🇦's right to repair laws cbc.ca/news/canada/lo…

Nobody will remember: - Your job title - How many hours you worked - How much money you made People will remember: - If you pre-ordered The Big Fix - If you pushed back on corporate power - If you helped make 🇨🇦 markets more free + fair shorturl.at/RD1Fi

Hey @AnthropicAI: I get you're hungry for data. Claude is really smart! But do you really need to hit our servers a million times in 24 hours? You're not only taking our content without paying, you're tying up our devops resources. Not cool.

#Apple is bringing their self service repair to Canada, so you'll be able to repair your own phone. But is it worth it? FIMS professor and right to repair researcher Alissa Centivany calls their efforts "overwhelmingly underwhelming". Read more: cbc.ca/news/canada/ap…

Wrote the first version of this about 7 yrs ago & revised it to reflect recent developments. There's a fair bit of tongue-biting beneath the surface. Might write an unfettered follow-up at some TBD point, assuming my general boredom with AI wanes. ;) Officially out this fall.

Pub out this fall. More importantly, and bittersweetly, my friend & collaborator left Gaza today, a month after she (& the WHO delegation she was leading) were slated to leave. Part II @ EASST/4S - "the ends of hope: post-optimistic futures worth working towards".

@schock That's ... curious. 🤔 Do you have a link to the ACM statement? I had a couple of papers on Gaza rejected (after R&Rs) by ACM outlets in recent months. Some of the reviews were brutal enough that I'll avoid sending any work there in the future.

In which the world's most prominent 'AI fairness' conference refuses to condemn the use of AI to assist a genocide, and then places the blame on the world's largest computing association #FAccT2024

Fabulous to see this progress on Right-to-Repair in Canada. As Senate sponsor of #C244, I thank my colleagues for sending this important bill, along with #C294 (interoperability), to our Banking Committee for study. #CompetitionMatters
Senate of Canada@SenateCA

Bill #C244 has been adopted at second reading in the Senate and referred to the Senate Committee on Banking, Commerce and the Economy: ow.ly/KrrH50RATRt #SenCA #CdnPoli #BANC

Check out "Flipping the Narrative" a statement in response to @Safety_Canada's decision to ban @flipper_net (put together by members of the #CanRepair Working Group): canrepair.ca/latest-news The bottom line: repair makes us safer. Let's not blame tools for insecure design.

If the US is serious about protecting people’s data from ending up in the hands of foreign adversaries, Congress should toss out the TikTok ban and instead pass comprehensive data privacy legislation to prevent the collection of data in the first place. eff.org/deeplinks/2024…

@Dotty_dot_dot just returned from Gaza where she provided humanitarian assistance & conducted research on breakdown, repair, and hope for our #nfrf collab with @Glia_Intl . So grateful to her for her dedication, documentation, and care. #CeasefireNOW #righttorepair
Dot Gee@Dotty_dot_dot

I just returned from Gaza, on a medical mission with @glia_intl. I bore witness to the human suffering caused by Israel’s ongoing war against Palestinians, but especially children. We are now in the terminal phase of a genocide that has been ongoing for 75 years.
