the "issue" with jax's character arc is that its ugly. its unpalatable, especially to mainstream performative mental health awareness. but worst of all, its realistic. and refusing to engage with a realistic story because you personally dislike the character is willfully ignorant
Some criticism of the Digital Circus finale I'm seeing deadass seems to boil down to "Jax is a bad person so why should I care." You're allowed to not like Jax but I find that such a shallow way to engage with something.
#SpriteRunnersNetwork Sprite changes are here!
💦🔥🌱 Rare Sprites (and their variants) now drop less frequently to make room for more Epic, Legendary, and Mythic Sprites and their variants.
📦 Sprites drop out of chests more often.
😈 Galaxy Demon Sprite can now be found! (it wasn't dropping before now)
With these changes, hunting new Sprites should be easier while not being so easy they stop being rare.
Major Canadian experts in internet security and privacy - like @RonDeibert, @OpenMediaOrg and @cancivlib - are absolutely freaking out about Bill C-22.
They’re sounding massive alarms, warning that it could:
- force companies to keep metadata for up to a year, making a vast trove of personal information vulnerable to leaks and hacks
- make encryption meaningless by creating backdoors in software that allow police and gov. agencies to scoop up our personal data and messages
- give US police and spy agencies direct access to Canadians’ personal data without warning or oversight
So what is the Carney government doing? Ramming C-22 through in the dying hours of the session.
Meanwhile, Minister Solomon offers a retail sales pitch for potential powers of a new regulator that won’t even exist for at least 18 months.
Instead of just banning surveillance pricing and protecting us from other forms of digital spying and extraction.
Bill C-22 is a disaster and should be withdrawn.
Tech companies on Bill C-22
• Shopify @Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke @tobi warned that Bill C-22 could become a “death blow to Canadian tech viability” and make Canada “essentially unviable for those with choices on where to build.”
• Signal's @signalapp VP of Strategy & Global Affairs Udbhav Tiwari stated, "In its current form, Bill C-22 would convert the everyday tools Canadians rely on into a sprawling, insecure surveillance apparatus."
• Apple @Apple Senior Director of User Privacy & Child Safety Erik Neuenschwander warned that Bill C-22 allows the Government of Canada to force companies to break encryption by inserting backdoors into their products - “something Apple will never do.”
• Google's @Google Director of Government Affairs and Public Policy Jeanette Patell warned that Bill C-22 “goes well beyond lawful access regimes in other G7 democracies, and risks creating new surveillance infrastructure that would introduce serious security vulnerabilities, undermine user trust and hinder our ability to innovate and offer pro-privacy technologies.”
• Meta @Meta warned that Bill C-22 could require companies to build or maintain capabilities that weaken encryption and that could force providers to "install government spyware directly on their systems."
• Proton VPN @ProtonVPN General Manager David Peterson warned that complying with Bill C-22 could conflict with Swiss and European privacy obligations. He said, “Complying with foreign surveillance orders without Swiss legal process is a criminal offence...We’ll defend our Canadian users and never compromise them.”
• NordVPN @NordVPN stated that “there isn’t a scenario in which we would compromise our no-logs architecture or encryption protections" and that it would consider limiting or removing its Canadian presence.
• ExpressVPN @expressvpn warned, “Legislation that mandates data retention or technical access, however well-intentioned, undermines the security that millions of users rely on."
• DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo stated that "if the bill passes, we will be forced to stop offering our VPN in Canada."
• Windscribe @windscribecom stated, “...they want to destroy the entire essence of our service to basically spy on its own citizens."
Privacy protects citizens. It also protects innovation.
Note: These statements were made before Bill C-22 was amended on June 18, 2026. In our view, those amendments did not meaningfully address concerns raised by tech companies, privacy experts, or civil liberties organizations. The companies above are free to tell Canadians whether the amendments have changed their assessment.

#SpriteRunnersNetwork
Everyone! IT IS TIME! Thank you so much to the awesome... @Awesomee_Meh for coming through! WE'RE HANDING OUT THE GUMMY ZP TODAY!
Reply below if you need this little guy with ur epic username and add pk_georgie and we start handing out today after my meetings!!!
Btw this will be in the order that comments appear filtered to recent from the bottom up! First come, first serve!
AND I'm going to level 5 this cutie so we can hand him out MASTERED!
Because Mastery Mondays increase the base rate of Legendaries and Mythics (and Epics!), Variants being a flat spawn rate % of their respective Base Species means today we might see more Gummy Zero Point Sprites!
Good luck!! Don’t forget the extra Portable Extractors today, too.
based on the latest data, the lucky gummy zero point looper has NOT spread it to ANY player in the last 12 hours ☠️
must be someone from #teamfraudation (gg btw)
@Boppinz_ I've extracted 3 Peanut sprites - 2 from chests and 1 from another player. Seen many others with them too. Compared to the Gummy sprites, I've extracted 2 (both found from Sprite chests), and only seen maybe 2 other players with one.
