Unfortunately Signal has threatened to leave the Canadian market should this bill go through, as have NordVPN, Windscribe, DuckDuckGo's VPN, Psiphon VPN, and Proton VPN. I imagine more may follow suit.

The opening line

> This is written of a future. Not the future, but a future – one of many possibilities.

reminded me of the opening line from Tom Scott's The Artificial Intelligence That Deleted A Century https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JlxuQ7tPgQ

> This is a YouTube video from a future. Not the future, just a future.

Not sure if intentional or if you're both referencing something else, fun parallel nonetheless.

For what it's worth, this loaded (slowly) in Firefox on Windows for me (but zooming was blurry), and the default Photos viewer opened it no problem with smooth zooming and panning.

Android has something similar - in the power menu [1] there's a "Lockdown" button which will lock your phone, disable biometrics, and disable showing notifications until you unlock with password.

Depending on your version and flavour of Android you may need to enable this "Show Lockdown Option" in your settings.

[1] Opening this varies - my pixel is power + vol up, some phones are hold power, etc.

> If you’re on a desktop device reading this, how many windows are filling the entire screen? How much screen space does the browser you’re reading from take up?

> It’s safest to presume that users on desktop or laptop devices are not filling their entire screen with a browser.

Is this true? If you're reading this casually (and you are reading this casually) is your browser not at full size? I almost exclusively use my desktop and laptop with windows maximized unless I'm doing some work which requires me to split up my screen (for example writing while looking at docs or program output). Am I the outlier here?

> Raku has no qualms about using Unicode operators. You check set membership with ∈. There's also ∉, ∋, and ∌.

Something to note is that there are ASCII equivalents[0] for every cool Unicode operator found in Raku. For example, the equivalents for ∈, ∉, ∋, ∌ are (elem), !(elem), (cont), !(cont).
