Wow what a fail!

Looks like I am changing my search engine again!

I believe it was someone on Lemmy that suggested it to me, but no problem in passing it on.

Rather than using Google for search may I suggest using ecosia.org, it of course was using google as the actual search engine but they are trying to do the indexing in house now because even in Europe the US is being seen as the big bad. I wish there was a Canadian search engine I could suggest but ecosia.org is the best I have for you right now.

I encourage others to find ways of getting off of US services and hopefully Carney will not chicken out and put that retroactive DST in and all the major brands will be massively hurt not only by the tax but the drop in Canadian subscribers. I really wish people and companies would get off of Amazon services.

Pi-hole all the way.

Wab is doing a good job at it.

I know that is why they are saying that, but why are you?

What does the religous beliefs being pushed on those children have to do with anything? Are you trying to make it sound worse then say 2 dozen Muslim girls? It was 2 dozen children at camp.

Just what ever I am feeling at the time, I just look up a basic recipe as my guidelines for the ketchup. There are many different spice blends I have tried. Vinegar is a different story I usually just buy an inexpensive wine and add some mother to it and wait a week or two. Only recently have I started making my own very inexpensive wine (more like top tear prison hootch) to make a vinegar with I do not know the alcohol level so it is just sitting on my counter with a coffee filter over. I checked it a few days ago it does not smell very alcoholic, but wow could I ever taste the alcohol when I tasted it.

1password is what I migrated to, as it is Canadian.

No our best is to good for the US

I have stopped paying for US services, my future computers will either be from outside of the US, or used with a clean install of some flavour of Linux. It will be difficult to transition myself away from Apple when the time comes to update my phone or tablet but it will happen eventually, there are plenty of non US phone and tablet makers who do not use iOS or Android. Once Trump burns down the US even more competition will come around.

After reading some more of your replies, I have personally dropped almost all of my US online stuff. Apple still has some to backup my iPhone and iPad but I am trying to get away from that to, it just involves me figuring out what is up with my old Mac and getting sync setup on there and backing up my iPhone and iPad onto sync via my Mac.

Speak for yourself and being mainly physically targeted, I came to Lemmy to get off of Reddit, I miss the local community as many people do not have the interest in figuring out Lemmy. I have cancelled all of my streaming services from the US, if there is something I want to see that is strickly on a streaming service I put on my pirates hat and sail the high C’s, other wise I watch it on the Canadian Channels app (with my pihole on so that I do not see ads so that it becomes less valuable for the Canadian channel to continue paying for it) I subscribed to CBC Gem+ or whatever it is called and watch Canadian content on there. I us Unwatched to watch YouTube so that I am not paying Google, I feel for the non US videos I watch but they are still getting money from Google but Google is not getting it from me.

One of the first buy Canadian things I did was move my blog hosting from a US provider to hosthero.ca and changed it from .com to .ca then I looked at my iCloud stuff and started finding other options. Sure they are not all together anymore and do not easily communicate together it is however far less expensive than what I was doing before. I was using Apple’s hide my email feature I had 60 some email address (I think). After going through all those addresses and finding out what was dead or not I moved something like 45 addresses to my hosthero email server, and I started moving more things that did not already have their separate email address to my address. I would later find out that my ISP changed to an exchange server, I have no idea if they have to pay Microsoft for that or what but I have been transitioning all of the emails I get from there to there own email address. This is not a short process and I am up to 120 some email addresses, all of the pseudo-random email addresses are forwarded to 1 of 5 email accounts that I check. I can have unlimited free trials for things if I so choose (have not done that with this yet, I had done this a couple of times for things in my iCloud days). I do not trust myself with hosting my own password manager so bitwarden is not really an option for me so I went with 1password, for my cloud storage I just downloaded everything to one of my pi’s but I was having all kinds of difficulties with hosting my own VPN and NextCloud crashed on me a couple of times so I decided to go with sync.com. If there was any real competition for youtube I would not be sneaking in via other apps I would be using the real alternative platform.

I steal my US media, I have ad blockers blocking ads.

Best ketchup you will ever have is homemade stuff, with fresh tomatoes. If you are really adventurous, you can try different spices or vinegars. Now if you are really adventurous you can make your own vinegars.

The government should not be hosting a public cloud service; if they really want to do something like that they should do a public private thing with Canada Post, maybe.

I personally have moved all of my hosting off of US servers, my ISP uses exchange for their email server where ever it is hosted I do not know so I have been moving all my email things onto the Canadian host. I started using apple’s hide my email years ago so I have decided to do a more extensive hide my email setup with my host. I have a pi hole system setup so with the 120+ emails so my internet data is worthless to Google and all the other US advertisers.

You cannot believe how sick it is to open Lemmy and the first thing you see is a picture of Zuckerberg.

I hope Carney reintroduces it after these trade talks fail.

From what I understand it from reading the post it is something like a week on a week off. I am sure it would be very stressful and I do not see people lasting long times; or there would be people who stay employed for a longer time, like an oil rig. I can see the proud boys applying and getting the jobs and people will die there, until it rains and the proud boys get a little wet and scared of the water.

So the officers are going to be prisoners as well? They will be on site, hanging out in a tent in the swamp.

I understand capitalism, I have no respect for the economic system but understand it, but a Canadian company hires out the people for US prisons in this economy? Then $25/hr for 60 hours a week, to live with scared people.
