Trans rights are human rights! 🏳️⚧️
Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, it's a day to grieve & honour the memories of those we've lost due to transphobia & anti-transgender violence.
But it is also a day to commit to fighting to build a world free of hate, bigotry & transphobia.

Thinking of my grandpa, who was a telegraph operator in the Canadian Navy and Paul's grandfathers: one was a navigator in a bomber and the other was in the Dutch Resistance.

Totally agree with @motomatters.com. I don't want to talk to my computer or any other "smart" appliance. I find it bad enough to ask to "navigate home" in the car.
(Yes, it's a great accessibility feature for some people and they should have the option but allow me to TURN IT OFF!)

I cannot talk to a machine without dying of embarrassment. I cannot use voice control on my phone without cringing so hard I rupture multiple organs.
Stop making us talk to computers. It unnecessarily anthropomorphises them. What's wrong with a Bash shell, FFS? Or even just a mouse GUI?

This is the future of Windows. Microsoft wants to rewrite Windows to turn computers into AI PCs that you talk to. It's now bringing AI features to all Windows 11 PCs today, in a bid to convince you to talk to your PC and let AI control it. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/799768/...

There is cruelty and horror at the heart of our history. Genocide. And it was done to children. Never forget 🧡
Standing outside the gates of the Qu'Appelle Indian residential school.This a haunted dark place. A 5-year-old taken through these gates had a lower chance of survival than a Canadian soldier fighting in WW2.
The red dress and the orange shirt hang on the gates.

I'm still learning how to use settings correctly. The moon was hanging red in the sky but by the time I set everything up I messed it. Moon over Pincushion Bay in Peachland, BC.
