My suggestion to everyone move off of US services on your own, I came to Lemmy to get off of Reddit (sadly I still have an account and use it occasionally, less and less as time goes by but it is still there). I stopped using Facebook a while ago other than for messenger but that is so rare that I could probably forget about my account. I was never a twitter user, I had an account to see the occasional post or something? But it is closed now and has been since Musk started kissing Donnies booty. I moved my blog off of Wordpress services and on to a Canadian host, I wanna say hosthero, with that I got an unlimited email address package so that I could replace Apple’s hide my email with random emails from my .ca domain. I had long ago stopped using Google services (minus YouTube) so nothing really changed there; except I stopped paying for youtube premium, as I have a pihole to block ads and trackers for my whole LAN I get weird ads (why I started paying for premium) so I found the app unwatched which blocks YouTube’s ads. I cancelled my Disney+, my Amazon Prime, and most of my Apple services and started sailing the high C’s again.

I have started to self host things on the home lab, but for my passwords I cannot afford losing access to them, if I fuck up my system, so I decided to use 1Password as my password manager as it is Canadian. I have returned to a pirates life for media, and I am working very hard to get everything off of Apple. Hopefully by the end of July I will have finally done it.

I would love to think that to, but I am guessing at the end of the 30 days we are officially in Trump will say something like “it would be a shame if you put in the DST, are tariffs could be so much lower.” And Carney will buckle.

A problem I see with this is that it is going to become unsafe to consume food stuffs coming from the US very soon. RFK would rather watch people die then put in the proper health requirements, if there is no requirements than capitalism will do what capitalism does and cut costs.

Hahahaa, that is a funny joke. Unless you are serious, then it is a not good take, if you give Trump a centimetre he will take the whole damn ruler and then demand every other ruler in the country.

If only everyone took it seriously and we could get it down to 0%, I am sure the number will be even lower in the next publishing period but Saskatchewan and Alberta fucked up and let their stores to order the booze from the US and they hopefully ordered it expecting more demand which never appears.

Smith and Moe said “fuck it we want to get wasted” and stopped the boycotts in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Well I do not know about Smith but I am sure Moe was feeling the pain of having empty shelves at his local liquor store

It will be left to Canadians to do the poop he can’t.

I have started self hosting a lot of things, and using Canadian hosting for my passwords and domain.

I have turned off a lot of US services and plan to have more turned off this week, I have been slowly cutting things as I come across them, my elbows are up it is to bad Carney has put his elbows down.

I was looking at my ISPs email stuff, for some reason? I found out they have moved to an exchange service, so a Microsoft protocol. I have sense started moving all of my emails off of there to (they are trying to stop offering email so it is nothing off their back).

Once AI is better and wipes life out on this planet then yes it can help with climate change!

Yes I know they have gotten me, but no more! Adding just one extra step will fix it for me (I hope). I wanted to block the whole App Store first but I do need updates and I have started to do things with my home lab like self hosting.

I should add this is an open letter for people to copy and send off their MP.

Come on Moe any time now, you have the F’ing pen!

 

Our DUI hire has popped his head out of the ground to attempt to say stuff.

 

I am trying to kick Reddit, I get a lot of my Saskatchewan news from there and I am in a lot of groups so I can scroll and see things. What are some groups I can join here that are a good idea?

 

I just went on a big letter writing campaign to get politicians and the media to stop using X, I also made complaints with a few agencies to get the use of X by elected officials investigated by a few agencies. Hopefully with any luck we can see some change coming soon.

If you would like to put pressure on the elected officials I strongly encourage you do it; a few tips try your hardest to keep it to one page or less, address it, attach a pdf to the email saying what you said, and send it to all the elected officials. I have all the MP and Senator emails, and all the Saskatchewan emails if you need them.
