Can’t sign this - it’s way too shortsighted.

I would sign a petition (and even campaign) for a law requiring that no public sector communications be on any corporate platform. But calling out x/twitter is useless. In my area, RCMP and the town use Facebook. I do not have a Facebook account.

My town regularly fails to post updates on their own site.

We need to a law that mandates no private platforms should be the primary source of any public information. I don’t want my public services to just start posting on BlueSky.

Finding a cloud service provider that’s reliable and has good terraform support has been impossible. Best we could do there was switch to another American firm that didn’t seem to be a Trump-supporting sell-out.

Otherwise it’s been pretty easy. But mostly because we already had everything.

As a baseline my focus hasn’t been so much not buying American at all but buying from Canadian owned and operated stores as the primary entry point. So no more Amazon, etc.

I’ve got two Atwater bags. They’re really nice. I’ve had some mixed experience with the company though, sadly. I hope it was just a blip. Quality, well designed, and handmade in Montreal.

I switched much more recently. It’s been more than fine - great even. A few rough edges but nothing that prevents me from getting my vision out. Publisher 2 is a very adequate replacement for InDesign and I like that the tools are more tightly integrated.

The one feature I miss is the integrated and centralized asset library for multiple users and teams.

And codeberg is the the hosted alternative which runs on Forjego. It has OG GitHub vibes: https://codeberg.org/

Have you considered that some folks don’t go visit the cross posts?

Article is paywalled on mobile. Not sure why I was downvoted for pointing this out.

Here’s a bypass: https://archive.ph/qc7hE

A lot of us don’t. For those that do - same misguided reasons they support President Elon and his sidekick Trump down south.

Caught a lift to an airport in a BYD EV. Impressive vehicle for the money. The established players are worried and with good reason.

The BYD was on par with my own South Korean EV.

4% before any direct deposit bonuses.

It’s pretty decent for a cash / emergency / short term savings account.

It lacks features though (recurring transfers in/out from other institutions is the main one for me).
