USA citizens, are you worried about data centres coming to your neighbourhood/town/community? Check out this site by activist Erin Brockovich tracking the evolution of data centres in the USA: https://www.brockovichdatacenter.com/

@sundogplanets Maybe a trend can be started amongst municipalities once more stuff starts falling...
Science participative au Canada
Je viens de m'inscrire pour un projet de science participative pour suivre les tendances de la grippe. Chaque lundi on m'envoie un sondage à une question qui demande si j'aurais eu une toux ou fait de la fièvre pendant la semaine précédente.
Il a fallu fournir la première moitié de mon code postal, mon année de naissance et un courriel pour recevoir le questionnaire.

Citizen Science in Canada
I just signed up for some citizen science to track flu trends. I'll get an email once every Monday asking if I developped a cough or fever in the previous week. They pair that with sewage testing to try to spot trends early.
Not too intrusive: I had to give the first half of my postal code, my birth year and an email address at which to receive the weekly one question survey.

@brettezeleliquide Elle doit penser qu'il vous manque d'amour, alors elle va vous en donner 😜
@coreyspowell I'm flabbergasted to learn, additionally, that it can be done from space by satellite!!
re: food
@sundogplanets 'Nuther use for nettles: https://www.nettlesfortextiles.org.uk/
@sundogplanets I am so jealous. That's the kind of asparagus my Father grew in MJ and that I remember from supermarkets in the West in general. The stuff I see in the market in Montreal is spindly, skinny stuff. The largest stalk in a bunch, if you're lucky, is still smaller round than an HB pencil. And half the length of the stalks is always unusable timber. My mouth is watering looking at your harvest!!
Canadian Bill C-22
Bill C-22 currently being examined by Parlement worries me. If you're worried, too, contact your MP and members of the House Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security to let them know. The International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group makes it easy. You just fill in 3 or 4 fields and make one click.

Projet de loi canadienne C-22
Le projet de loi C-22 du gouvernement canadien m'inquiète.

Le International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group le rend facile. Il ne faut qu'inscrire ses informations et cliquer sur le bouton pour le faire.

Pleased to share a page and explainer for the AI tarpit project Science is Poetry, with legal statement, rationale(s), and a few deployment notes:

The page may grow a bit. Just wanted to get it out the door.
@chad I'm an old guy. I've been wearing watches most of my life. I shift mine up and down my arm according to need and shifting comfort requirements. Wear it where it works :)

Aïe ! @Anarcat C'est la 2e fois que tu partages cet appareil là. Une autre fois c'était sur IRC. Si tu ne t'arrêtes pas, je vais p-ê être obligé d'en acheter un 😛 Quoique, je résisterais à la tentation facilement en cédant à la tentation du FiiO Disc à la place ... 🤔
@highvoltage That's Céline. She's cheesy and corny in an innocent, sentimental way :)
If I were a citizen of the USPA (United States of Part of America), I'd be talking to my Congressional Rep about this Section 702 thing.

@petersuber Go on a payment strike for a few months but instead of saying your withholding payment in protest say you're performing an "attitude improvement" exercise or providing "valuable customer feedback"...
