PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION!

If you are a Canadian citizen or resident, please sign this petition to the federal government.

It requests that gender affirming care be guaranteed for trans youth. This petition can save lives. Please sign it.

https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Sign/e-7005

Spread it as much as you can on your social media. Let's get this baby flying. I want them to get even more signatures than I did for my trans asylum petition three years ago. Please make sure you tell people that all residents of Canada are eligible to sign, but you must have a Canadian address to sign. If you are unhoused, ask somewhere local to you for an address you can use to sign it.

You will have to give an email address to it, which you must use to confirm you signed, or your signature will be invalid.

Boosts not only invited, but crucial to the success of this very, very important social action. I'd love to see a million people sign it. You have my explicit permission to screenshot this post and spread it anywhere you want, on any social media platform you think will have Canadian residents to spread it to.

The most that a petition before has gotten has been about 300,000. I want us to blow right past that, and roll that one up for tokes.

Canadians! Please join your trans neighbours in helping provide relief to trans youth. Speaking as a former trans youth, this would have changed my life completely. We can still do that for our neighbours' children.

Please help make it happen.

My @FreeCAD addon, "FusedFilamentDesign" has gained a new feature:

The "Auto Fillet" command automatically adds a fillet to each vertical edge of a part. This is a quick and easy way to improve printability of a design.

See docs for details: https://github.com/Rahix/FusedFilamentDesign/blob/main/Documentation/ffDesign_AutoFillet.md

Bon à savoir au #Québec:
La BAnQ a une belle offre de contenu en #streaming gratuit, incluant l'accès à Tënk (films documentaires), Vithèque (vidéo d'art) et Kanopy (films, émissions de télé, vidéos éducatives, documentaires).

If you're using #devenv for your projects, please note that the new `generate` command in 1.4.0 uses your repository content.

It tars up all files it can find through `git ls-files -z`³ and exfiltrates them to the service.

It handles `DO_NOT_TRACK=`¹ by sending that intent along² as a query string, so now you need to trust the service to not keep data.

*Picks and Shovels* is a new, standalone technothriller starring Marty Hench, my two-fisted, hard-fighting, tech-scam-busting forensic accountant. You can pre-order it on my latest Kickstarter, which features a brilliant audiobook read by Wil Wheaton:
