Les experts disent que le dernier ordre de retour au bureau du gouvernement ignore la réalité

No desks, no strategy: Experts say government's latest return-to-office order ignores reality | CBC News
With federal public servants mandated to return to the office four days a week this summer, experts and unions are sounding the alarm over a lack of clear strategy or infrastructure to support such a move.
Kim Crawley 😷 (she/her)Nine days left in my Kickstarter campaign for Technofascism Survival Guide!
We are 167% funded, but I'm sure we can do 200%.
$15 Canadian reserves you an eBook in all formats. That's about $10 USD, $15 Australian, £8, and €9.30.
For this book, I'm plunging deep into the history of recent successful political struggles: Castro's Cuban Revolution, Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam, the original Black Panthers and the new Black Panthers who have emerged to resist ICE.
And I'm also doing deep research into hacktivist operations, with the help of both as anonymous and Anonymous inside sources: Cult of the Dead Cow, LulzSec, Anonymous ops, L0pht, the Chaos Computer Club...
I have spent the past week taking a lot of notes from my chats over Signal with hacktivist insiders.
What can we learn from the analog and digital methodologies of these fascism resisting rebels?
We will have to learn from them because technofascism is here now.
We are all super concerned about the new Larry Ellison takeover of TikTok, Copilot spying on Microsoft users, Flock cameras, Palantir, and how Meta may be using the Meta Pixel to spy on ICE resisters.
These are all topics that I'm deep into researching right now. I've already written about 5-10% of Technofascism Survival Guide because I can now be confident that the Kickstarter campaign will be successful.
With the progress I'm making, I may be able to publish before June 2025.
My previous two Kickstarter funded book projects were successful and fulfilled (although the latter was fulfilled late), Ultimate Cybersecurity Careers Guide and Digital Safety in a Dangerous World.
For the next few weeks, all of my research and writing work is for Technofascism Survival Guide. I'm even doing offline research, I have been visiting the massive Toronto Reference Library and the Robarts Library at the University of Toronto once per week. Because a lot of the information out there about 20th century political activism hasn't been digitized.
Last 9 days! Pledge as little as about $10 USD for an eBook!

The power of the moment did not come from bravado. It came from certainty. Carney spoke as someone no longer seeking reassurance from Washington, no longer calibrating language to preserve the illusion of continuity. He spoke as the leader of a country that has accepted the rupture and is now organizing itself accordingly.“

Gorgeous antique 8-Lever "Mastodon" steel padlock, picked in ~7 seconds, using homemade tools fashioned out of recycled bike spokes.
This is the second of two beautiful antique locks my partner gave me as a present.
The reason this opened so quickly is because several of the levers are rusted in place, and I bypassed the remaining ones and pushed the locking pawls out of the way directly.
Jack Daniel (often offline)I keep seeing reminders of this.
We did it, and everything else required.
Our big mistake was turning them back on the next day.

#PSA: If someone says they accidentally reported you, it's a scam.
If someone says you need to verify your Mastodon account, it's a scam.
If someone says you need to change the email address on your account, it's a scam.
If someone tries to lure you off-platform to Discord or Telegram, it's a scam.
If someone jumps into your replies or DMs with a mutual aid request, it's a scam.
If someone from mastodon.social sends you an unsolicited DM, it's a scam.
