I’ve known Cory since before he was published, & watched his career with a deep joy in a loca nerd making good, but I have never been more proud to call him a decades-long casual convention acquaintance I’ve stolen cigarettes from than today.
If you read @pluralistic, you know why, but maybe you missed today’s post despite all the boosts & QTs?

So rather than just link to the article & say “Powerful words from one of Canada’s most well-known voices on tech…blah blah”, here’s a polite quote to give you a taste of what went down at the fed’s Digital Government Leaders Summit

“The cartel of four giant inkjet companies know they have us trapped, & they have monotonically raised & raised and raised the price of ink, so that today, printer ink is the most expensive fluid a civilian can purchase without a government permit. At $10,000 per gallon, it would be cheaper to print your grocery lists with the semen of a Kentucky Derby winning stallion.”

Put this shit in your VEINS people!
