Can’t help but feel that there are lessons for Canada in this. Canada can no longer rely on the US to set direction or provide resources. We need to step up and lead for ourselves. There are also other allies. Perhaps it’s time for closer ties with the EU?

Are there any UI developers you like who share screenshots of their work on bsky? I miss that kind of inspiration; these types of posts rarely appear here if I compare what I can discover on bsky VS my old Twitter timeline.

Awesome, hopefully they start to have a more formal presence on here soon. Would be great to be able to engage with their shows again, but not planning on using X while they're on there.
