I really miss having more time to engage with JuliaLang, and the people working on it. I work with Julia fairly often but our customers don't, and it's fairly encapsulated in our systems. It's essentially feature-complete for our needs.

I'm sad that it seems like there's not much interesting tech talk in my social feeds anymore.

Even the people building things with LLMs don't seem to care that much about the end product, they're not posting much about that.

Today, the Carney government joined the Conservatives and the Bloc to defeat Jenny Kwan’s No More Loopholes Bill — legislation that would have stopped Canadian weapons sent to the U.S. from being used to fuel the genocide in Gaza.
It’s a deeply shameful vote that suggests they would rather appease Trump than protect vulnerable civilians.
But this moment also shows why voices like Jenny Kwan and her colleagues in the NDP caucus matter so much. They continue to champion human rights, peace, and international justice with courage and persistence, even when few others in Parliament will.
Millions of Canadians share that vision. They want Canada to be a force for peace, not a junior arms dealer.
This is exactly why our country needs the NDP.
just for the record
the reason there can be trans tech workers is that trans sex workers fought for our rights
