Seen on FB in reference to somewhere in England. Perfectly fitting for #Ottawa, though.

If you're into web accessibility, the #a11yTO or #a11yTOConf hashtags should be full of great content for the next two days.

Toronto has a great accessibility community, and I know they'll have a very educational few days together.

Real estate agents are getting younger every day.

Things I see on my visit to #toronto

@thomasfuchs which computer is that? Reminds me of the old Panasonic Business Partner.

@mastohost No problem, I'll let them know.

@mastohost This is new. Norton just flagged your CDN as Unsafe.

Happy Public Domain Day 2023

The public domain consists of all the creative work to which no exclusive intellectual property rights apply. Those rights may have expired, been forfeited, expressly waived, or may be inapplicable.

Because those rights have expired, anyone can legally use or reference those works without permission.

#PublicDomainDay #PublicDomain #Copyright

Canada updated its Copyright Act in 2022 to extend copyright from 50 years to 70 years following the death of the author.

Because of this, no more new Canadian authors will come out of copyright until 1 January 2043 (those who died in 1972).
