Any security/privacy experts have any thoughts about Apple’s Private Relay service through their iCloud+ subscription?
Good?
Bad?
Irrelevant?
I won’t be getting rid of my iCloud account anytime soon, so unless there is some other compelling reason not to, it seems worth using it.
Edit: Ironically, I couldn’t send this post from my local server because, I think, of my local DNS so… Private Relay off now. 😆

Just learned that @FedicaHQ is a thing and WOW! Social Media Management that fully supports both Fediverse and traditional social media modes, analysis, scheduling. Really powerful tools!

@RickiTarr @bobjmsn don’t let anyone ever tell you USA (or Canada) doesn’t have the population to support high speed high frequency trans continental rail travel. It’s just a lie perpetrated by the car industry. Keep pushing for it to happen, I believe the transition to clean energy will make it happen!
@ClipHead @mekkaokereke probably because it's not Twitter/X. All we can do is put the option out there and hope people choose the Fediverse. Did anyone try to promote Fediverse options to the Brazilian Twitter/XVerse? Or did we just assume they'd flock here?
This will definitely work.

To honour and support the brave actions of our students, some Faculty and Employees of Vancouver Island University have gathered into “VIU FACULTY AND EMPLOYEES FOR STUDENTS FOR PALESTINE”.
We have released a statement this morning concerning:
(1) VIU Senior Management Team’s attempt to restrict civil liberties at VIU;
(2) SMT’s decision to sacrifice Charter freedoms for property rights; and
(3) SMT’s reckless expenditures in reaction to the Encampment.

It is expected that the encampment will cease in its current location as of today. I (speaking personally) hope very much that this is a peaceful and respectful day, as it has been for the entirety of the protest.
I hope VIU resists its own threat to call in the RCMP. And I hope this is not the end of peaceful protests on campus, for any issue.
But I fear the precedent and message sent at VIU (and many other institutions in Canada) is clear. Universities are not safe spaces for protest. The expectation that they are places for open and vigorous debate has been shattered.
At their core, Canadian Universities are just another colonial institution based around colonial confrontation and limiting of rights of people, particularly Indigenous and minorities.
The notion that VIU or any Canadian Institution is changing and acknowledging past wrongs is a whole bunch of performative nonsense. Decolonization? Ha!
It’s just more of the same. Assimilation. Like Israel razing Gaza to the ground so it can swallow it whole and destroy the Palestinian people, the assertion in Court of Canadian Universities private property rights over the Charter rights of its community and the un-ceded Territories of host First Nations, make them complicit and actively participating in Canada's Genocide.

@kevinrothrock the connection with Roseanne Barr is the only part of this story that makes sense 😂
Double lilly flower action in the ponds today! Plus bonus extremely full blueberry bushes. We are currently
just stuffing our mouths by the handful. 🫐 (zoom to see the masses of berries!)

Weird how there are no Scandinavian countries on this list with their “economy killing”, “socialist” policies.

I'm sick that it was “my” team's fans. But I'm glad this historic conviction has happened.
If you're a racist yelling epithets at a football player because he's black, then you should go to jail just like these three assholes.
"I'm not a victim of racism. I am a tormentor of racists.” Vinicius said, ""May other racists be afraid, ashamed and hide in the shadows. Otherwise, I'll be here to collect.”
Yes!

What a moment.
The WWII Veteran is introduced to Canadian PM Trudeau, and Trudeau introduces President Zelensky.
The Veteran immediately takes off his hat and exclaims “You're the Saviour of the People!!”.
Zelensky says, “no no, you saved Europe”.
“My hero", the veteran says, “I'll pray for you”.
Zelensky seems humbled (as he should).
Two men, saving Europe from tyranny, death, and destruction, at opposite ends of a lifetime.

Last chance. If you want to have your signature on the real life letter that goes to Canada's House of Commons Speaker and others, you must tell me before 9AM PDT (about 40 minutes).
You do not have to be Canadian to sign.
Signatures received after 9AM will be on the web version.
I've made some updates to the letter including more supporting links and sources.
