That said - there's room in a future away from big tech for both ATProto and ActivityPub - and we desperately need it.

ATProto certainly is a choice - it's got great things going on but there's serious compute required to deal with the firehose, even if you're just setting up a Personal Data Server. AP is definitely easier that way.

But this is the first time I've been described as a "social media pioneer"... 😲

We have learned that over the next few days, Acute Care AB will be cancelling elective surgeries in Edmonton due to unsafe patient volumes.

Those who have advocated for safe patient ratios and offered to work with the gov't are being given pink slips.

The $1.5 Billion Well Cleanup Burdening Battle River-Crowfoot Riding Landowners in the riding say abandoned wells make farming difficult and ruin their right to peaceful enjoyment of property.

This is one riding.

Alberta O&G is laughing at us.

"Cleanup costs for the more than 40,000 inactive wells in the riding are estimated at $1.5 billion dollars as of 2023, according to research done by TheRockies.Life.

However the number could be much higher .. "

I’m sure she’s consulting with Roskomnadzor on that.

Rumour is that she’s also planning on forcing the book ban on public libraries next week too.
I guess that’s why she’s extending session.

Priorities.

Teachers, you are not alone. We too are horrified by the actions of the Alberta government this week, dismissing your rights and sending you back to the same overcrowded, unsupported classrooms. We see you. We continue to fight with you.

Let's be clear about what happened today.

Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights,

denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it,

and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.

We'd like a train between Edmonton and Calgary, please.

Also, it'd be nice if the Vancouver Island service would make a comeback.

Global News laid off 26 journalists in B.C. and Alberta today.

In B.C. the layoffs include virtually all of the online team, along with many others.

The business is increasingly cruel, and the hollowing out of newsrooms providing fair and reliable information continues to suck.

From the DM's...

Multiple senior EMS leadership in #YEG have been suddenly terminated.

The group "Edmonton Paramedics" have released a statement condemning the move and highlighting the chaos that exists in healthcare and EMS currently.

Greenhouse gas emissions from Alberta's oilsands have also continued to set new records.

They hit 86.5 megatonnes in the latest National Inventory Report.

(By comparison: Quebec's *total* emissions were 78.9 megatonnes that year.)

Let Brian Jean and the government know how you feel about coal mining in the Alberta rockies.

Hey, Rebecca Schulz, how is it that your department couldn't produce any papers or reports you claim to have been funded or published on ANYTHING over the past year?

You weren't lying in the House, were you? That'd certainly be unbecoming of the house?
