Cory Doctorow boosted
CautionWIP (he/him) 🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦🕎
@Caution@tech.lgbt  ·  activity timestamp yesterday

I’ve known Cory since before he was published, & watched his career with a deep joy in a loca nerd making good, but I have never been more proud to call him a decades-long casual convention acquaintance I’ve stolen cigarettes from than today.
If you read @pluralistic, you know why, but maybe you missed today’s post despite all the boosts & QTs?

So rather than just link to the article & say “Powerful words from one of Canada’s most well-known voices on tech…blah blah”, here’s a polite quote to give you a taste of what went down at the fed’s Digital Government Leaders Summit

“The cartel of four giant inkjet companies know they have us trapped, & they have monotonically raised & raised and raised the price of ink, so that today, printer ink is the most expensive fluid a civilian can purchase without a government permit. At $10,000 per gallon, it would be cheaper to print your grocery lists with the semen of a Kentucky Derby winning stallion.” 🤣🤣

Put this shit in your VEINS people!

I don’t know how I could get up in the morning, given everything that’s going on, if I didn’t know I was making a small difference for Canada’s future.

Read this op-ed (gift link) by @cira on what the government can do to improve digital sovereignty.

American commentators might be wondering why Canada is reaching out to China....well China hasn't repeatedly threatened to invade Canada, has it?

Hey #canada - Do you find it weird that our politicians are using US social media platforms to talk with Canadians?

Do you wish they’d get serious about protecting our digital sovereignty?
