It's pretty funny to me that I've spent my career working on VR, crypto, and AI, each the most hated technology by the public at times. I need pivot to data center construction, vaccines, 5g antennas and fentanyl to collect the last infinity stones and complete the gauntlet.

Canada needs policy that aligns the country towards a prosperous 21st century "other countries adopting lawful access" does not make it a good policy VPN's like most software technologies offer a multi-faceted number of benefits not just privacy, but security as well unfortunately, you can't shove a square peg into a round hole when it comes to engineering... there are always trade offs if you retain metadata and sensitive data, by default you are creating what is called a honeypot... a single, targeted location, that if hacked will lead to a large payoff large data leaks and hacks are continuing to tick up the largest financial hack in the USA involved 885 million credit card applications that leaked IP addresses, shipping addresses, and highly sensitive data multiple Canadian companies like CIRO, Telus, and Loblaw suffer major breaches in the last 12 months these Canadian hacks deserve special attention because they happened at some of the largest Canadian companies, who are supposed to have the means to protect themselves x.com/idiom_bytes/st… now, let's compare this to a VPN provider that implements a no-logging solution like @ProtonVPN @NordVPN @windscribecom well... their systems are designed so no data or sensitive information is linked back to you there is nothing to hack even in the scenario of a hack, there is no data to leak the trade-off is that you don't know who is who in the zoo this is great if you're trying to respect people's security, identity, and privacy no-log VPNs are the best line of defence for individuals have to protect themselves in the internet Bill C-22 creates policy that erodes the security of these technologies by retaining sensitive data and creating attack vectors that the technology is trying to resolve (1) metadata retention is at-odds with core values of security and VPN companies (2) by forcing companies to keep metadata you are eroding security standards and creating "honeypots" (3) individual users may now have their have sensitive compromised (4) companies are increasingly being hacked and not held accountable while individuals suffer damages as a result of fraud and more targeted attacks [Stop Bill C-22] Below are a few ways that you can take some action to help stop Bill C-22. x.com/idiom_bytes/st…

@sterlingcrispin @TonySopraNFTo @brian_armstrong classic!

@TonySopraNFTo @brian_armstrong Base is for squirting

Come on, @brian_armstrong… You had literally dozens of good, honest, hard-working, organic, convicted projects, communities, and builders pushing your chain every day while getting practically ZERO support, and you dare to make this post from the main account about something that has been around for literally a few hours? I thought you and your team had learned something after Zora last year. But it seems you are still focused on killing your own chain and scaring away the last remaining genuine interest and investors.

there is a sleeping giant sitting in government rn thesis post coming think it's an easy 5-10x with voter support

@PublicLandBC Thank you for your work. 🖖

PLUS has obtained FOI records revealing years of BC government negotiations with the Tahltan toward a sweeping “Foundation Agreement” involving land and governance transfers, Aboriginal title recognition, and Crown authority across 11% of B.C. More than 400 pages were withheld from disclosure. The public still has not been told what this Tahltan-BC agreement is or whether it has already been finalized, even though released records included completion timelines that have already passed. This is not a treaty process. It is certainly not a public process. And it may be one of the most significant governance and land restructurings in modern B.C. history. #bcpoli publiclanduse.ca/news/plus-foi-…

Canada: "Using the internet carries risks, you should protect yourself with a VPN." Also Canada: "VPN architectures that protect you on the internet will be illegal."

@echipiuk Great words Eva. Thank you.

The number of comments from people who do not even understand that citizens must constantly defend and protect their rights and freedoms is incredibly concerning. This should never be reduced to a left-versus-right political battle. At its core, it is about the rights and freedoms of citizens versus the growing power of governments, institutions, and entrenched systems. Rights and freedoms are rarely lost all at once. They are often surrendered gradually when people stop questioning authority, stop paying attention, or assume someone else will protect them. If citizens stop standing up for lawful democratic participation and fundamental freedoms, those in power will not voluntarily limit themselves. History has shown that rights are protected only when ordinary people are willing to defend them.

It is deeply troubling to watch elected officials advocate for silencing citizens who participated in a lawful democratic process simply because they disagree with the issue being raised. This is not even about debating the pros and cons of independence. This is about an organized effort by elected officials to silence citizens from participating in a lawful democratic process, and that should concern everyone. You do not have to support independence to recognize how dangerous that is. Once governments, political actors, and courts begin deciding which citizen-led issues are acceptable to discuss, democratic participation stops being a right and becomes a permission granted by those in power. Today it is this petition. Tomorrow it could be any issue the political class finds inconvenient. Citizens do not hold institutional power. Their voice is their power. And when lawful democratic processes are undermined to prevent citizens from even being heard, public trust in democracy itself begins to collapse.

It is profoundly disturbing to watch you and your party advocate for silencing citizens who participated in a lawful democratic process simply because you disagree with the issue being raised. It is literally your job to listen to citizens, especially when they are using the very democratic processes established by law to have their voices heard. This is not even about debating the pros and cons of independence. This is about an organized effort by elected officials to silence citizens from participating in a lawful democratic process, and that should concern everyone. You do not have to support independence to recognize how dangerous that is.

And when lawful democratic processes are undermined to prevent citizens from even being heard, public trust in democracy itself begins to collapse.

Canadian officials may have a lot to say on the subject, but in the end, talk is cheap. Canada needs leadership and policy that aligns the country towards a prosperous 21st century.

@Virding128118 @UbermenschMind The muscle fibers you develop from running look different. You do not develop a body like that even with ironmans. You need to be stressing your body with heavy weights to develop that physique. I.e. Crossfit or something similar.

@UbermenschMind "Specialized professional athletes will optimize their body types" Damn that's crazy bro. Anyway this guy runs marathons.

Marathoners physique vs Sprinters physique

Female crossfit physique vs. everyone else. I'll simply point out that females produce less testosterone and are beasts relative to the thread. CF stresses a broad range of skills and bio-mehanical systems. You may run or do kettlebell presses but good luck completing a WOD.

Stop bill C-22. There is zero evidence that companies and governments can be secure an accountable to personal data, metadata, DNA, and everything in between. "The French government agency that handles the issuing and management of citizens’ identity documents, including national IDs, passports, and immigration documents, confirmed Wednesday that it experienced a data breach." techcrunch.com/2026/04/22/fra… The tech community has commented on what feels like an increase in hacks and security incidents, in addition to increased communications and data points coming from frontier AI labs. Citizens need all the help they can get to remain secure. Expanding government to regulate VPNs, privacy, and security services that enforce no-log architectures is a dangerous one-way door. The problem: Data retention, security, and privacy is a massive problem and drain in our society. There are basic tools and new infrastructure being developed that help individuals, businesses, and organizations protect themselves. VPNs and architectures that do not store logs, metadata, and other information by-default are a couple of them. Bill C-22 actively targets these technologies and will hinder Canadian's ability to access commonly available secure architectures and infrastructure. Below are a few ways that you can take some action to help stop this bill. 1. You can sign a national petition via the @JCCFCanada website: - jccf.ca/stop-bill-c-22… 2. You can take an even bigger action by mailing your MP via the @OpenMediaOrg form here: - action.openmedia.org/page/188754/ac… 3. You can talk to other Canadians about Bill C-22 and explain the problem. Canada needs policy that aligns the country technologically towards a prosperous 21st century. Get involved.

You can sign a national petition here to rally against Bill C-22. jccf.ca/stop-bill-c-22… An even bigger action you can take is mailing your MP via the following website openmedia.org Finally, the last stand would be to form a taxpayer/constitutional legal framework that protects Canadians from predatory legislation such as this.

@privacylawyer @mgeist @windscribecom What should concerned Canadians do?

I have little doubt that privacy-first companies like @windscribecom will withdraw from the Canadian market if C-22 passes. Others will will neuter their products, harming our collective privacy and cybersecurity. theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

@Aaronpete_ Aaron I don't know much about you but I have enjoyed your balanced views. More people should frame decisions this way and it's unfortunate to see people in prominent positions acting ideologically rather than pragmatically.

Here’s my concern. Leaders need to demonstrate that they are grappling with trade-offs. It’s part of politics to take positions, and it’s part of having principles to not cave when the pressure is real. I don’t think one more pipeline is the cure to all of our problems (although it would help), and I don’t think stopping one pipeline negates the fact we are a natural resource based economy. If you’re going to say no, say no fully. Say no to our economy growing. Say no to more social programs. Say no to greater investments in infrastructure. That’s what logically follows from your no statement.
