For Canadians: The People’s Consultation on AI aims to "advance AI law, policy, and regulation centred around human rights and the public interest", and was created to "protest and reject the deeply misguided and wrongheaded approach to public consultation demonstrated by the government’s thirty-day “national sprint” on Canada’s artificial intelligence (“AI”) strategy."

Submissions accepted until March 15! peoplesaiconsultation.ca/

@ziphi As a consolation here's a cup noodle dragon I doodled because of a rabbit and steel injoke the other day

RE: mastodon.art/@SingsongRaptor/1

Briar's rollator broke and xyr family still needs food. Ze has nature photography on Ko-fi and is also an excellent sensitivity consultant! Goal wasn't met during #BlackHistoryMonth, please boost or donate to help since zir needs will likely increase again due to not having the rollator or made their food goals!

Hey Canadian gardeners! If you’re looking to grow some unusual and extraordinary (ornamental) plants in your garden on a budget, i highly recommend getting seeds from Spirithouse Gardens.

spirithousegardens.com/3468-2/

Many of the seeds are for plants you will not find in a nursery and you’ll get very good info on germinating the seeds from Ali.

@everton137 Oh yeah, no doubt. It's worth having this conversation because it's got so many things going on in it, and it'd be neat to see what kind of research could go into it as long as it's not just looking at one point on the network when even dot social's been defederated by multiple servers as a moderation headache

Plus I will say on the queer fedi side that there's definitely a whiteness problem still, even if not male-dominated

@trysdyn Hindsight's 20/20 but it's not like you willfully overlooked it

@everton137 It's a fair bit complicated when the different communities on the fediverse are as stratified as they are. We've got an entire queer section of the network which has largely blocked off techbro nonsense, so outreach to there is limited depending on where you land (including dotsocial)

I guess it all comes back to the techbros in the end on that one

Anyone have a preferred metal plate laser-cutting service in Toronto? 3mm to 4mm thickness, aluminum, nothing bigger than 20cm x 40cm.

It's me, Briar (trying a new name), your local Black queer. My rollator broke, post about it in the replies. I added a new one to my throne wishlist to crowdfund for it! I'm in a lot of pain without it.

Feb goal met! March goal 0/450.

@niss as someone who played the Evangelion 64 game it never stops being hilarious seeing people react to this

Also it is an absurdly tough game so very few people legit got to this song (I emulated with savestates for the record) so no wonder so few people believe it's real

How many people know that #WordPress was co-founded by a black man, Mike Little?

Or that he's from the north of England? A self-taught coder from #Stockport, just south of #Manchester? Or that he never received so much as a share, cent or job offer from the $7bn+ valued Automattic after spending five months working exclusively with Matt Mullenweg on the B2 fork?

After @bevangelist told me about @mikelittle I interviewed him for a documentary I never got round to making. Back then I was left with two certainties: he's Wozniak to Mullenweg's Jobs. Among other things he added the one-click upgrade that's been central to WP's bonkers 45%-of-the-web-success. And he's one of the nicest people I've ever interviewed, which is also bonkers given that he not only didn't share in WP's financial success, but that he's barely known.

But he should be - so, better late than never - please meet #MikeLittle, perhaps the most-influential-least-known person in #foss25.netribution.co.uk/nic/mike-
