Curious and generous. I believe we need entrepreneurs and innovation to face the challenges of this world, but I am not a techno-optimist. Pragmatic optimist?

Social network tip of the day: find someone you respect and that you find insightful, someone you love to read and who inspires you. Check the ratio of followers vs following, and if they only follow a handful of accounts, check that list, cherrypick 5 to 10, and start following them. Voilà!

Would be curious to see the results of a poll like this one in Canada... I'm not sure we would have the same results (although I hope for it and would be happy to be surprised).
The economic situation in Canada is different with Big Oil being one of our largest industry & the most active lobbyists.

🧵As the Government unveils plans to boost clean power, worth noting how much public sentiment has shifted to seeing clean energy not just as good, but as a no-brainer. All voter groups (inc Reform) are more likely to think renewables will cut cost of living than raise it

I met a scientist/founder at #CDL who is working on an innovative approach to sea-based carbon capture. Best place for them to publish a white paper describing their approach and get comments and reviews?
Open science approach, free publication, not pay to play. Where are these online communities?

I should probably re-read The New Capitalist Manifesto by @umairh.bsky.social. This quote popped up in my @readwise.bsky.social app this morning. Pretty sure 21st-century capitalism is not (yet?) much better...

I miss this kind of conversation from the "old days" of the Internet. It never disappeared, but it has been more challenging to discover in recent years. I'm glad to find it here! I love these public forums where we can share semi-formed thoughts, questions, findings, roadblocks, and hacks. #OpenFTW
I've seen a lot of discussions lately about handle verification, so I wrote about extending the "alsoKnownAs" feature of the did-plc spec. As it is currently written, the spec supports multiple handles and identities, and some (relatively) small changes could resolve some of the gripes.
Extending Also Known As | Smoke Signal
The did-plc spec has room for backwards compatible improvement to support multiple identity associations.

"To reduce reactance, catalysts allow for agency, not by telling people what to do or by being completely hands-off, but by finding the middle ground. By guiding their path. Four key ways to do that are: (1) Provide a menu, (2) ask, don’t tell, (3) highlight a gap, and (4) start with understanding."
