Pierre’s record speaks for itself, no need to muddy waters

https://pierresrecord.ca/

• Received a government pension at 31, then raised the retirement age on hard-working Canadians
• Defined marriage as a union between ‘one man and one woman, to the exclusion of all others’ (in front of his gay parent)
• Visited and courted far-right extremist groups
• Said Indigenous Peoples needed to learn the value of hard work more than they needed compensation for residential schools
• Worked to bring American-style, anti-union laws to Canada
• Said he’d use the notwithstanding clause, overriding Canadians’ rights
• Committed to free votes, allowing his MPs to bring forward anti-abortion legislation

Timbit Trump has had a terrible history as MP, I don’t want to see him as PM.

Well let’s start grassroots movements and tell our representatives we want FOSS at all levels of governments and education. Why does msft make ~$100 per PC sold plus perpetual licensing because they ripped off Xerox in the 80’s? Fucking drives me nutty

Yep, I’m driving an '08 with this feature and it’s key. Too bad the side mirrors don’t do the same

I’m a software developer, and I tell people on the daily you need to protect your data and have many times said not to give DNA to anyone unless it can save your life. 21 and me is gross as a business model and should not be a thing and I also strongly agree they need to be put into prison

I’m peeling back the tech-oligarchies hold on me by getting rid of Google and the other big boys. I’m fortunate I can spin up SMTP server (MailCow) and cloud storage (NextCloud) using free and open source software (FOSS). But I encourage others to do the same if they can. SMTP is a tough nut to crack, maintaining servers is also a bit of a task. But any technologist that knows web servers (Docker, VM) and DNS can set up shit using elest.io/managed-services

So many people, the greatest people have lost casinos. Everyone is saying it, look it up. Don’t listen to main sleam media, or as I like to call em liar poopoo faces.

Get good chud and chuddettes

• donalt drumpf probably

I also didn’t know this, but really we should all be putting money behind FOSS (myself included). We don’t need billionaires.

Be the change you want to see in the world! Or not, but if you do lmk and I’ll subscribe

We could stop with capitalism and economies of scale, it’s busting at it’s seams in almost every metric I can dig up. I’d be fine having a few chickens if by-laws permitted and the misses didn’t mind

trump its a turn to autocratic neo-mercantalism.

Yea there’s that, also the rounding up minorities for a nationalistic reason… if only the English language offered some word for that. Squashing undesirables/enemies due to nationalism with rhetoric like them poisoning the blood, being vermin, etc. I seem to recall a history lesson or two if only I could remember. I feel it’s some odd word no one knows how to use anymore, I think it rhymes with plascism.

That’s actually really evil. Stuck in hospital with c difficile? Don’t matter still gotta go across the street to Tims for your needed nutrients. What the actual fuck

Trump doesn’t need to scheme so hard with Ford in Ontario looking for a 2 tiered healthcare system. Can only imagine Smith has something lined up for AB (not sure on that one but if I were a betting man…).

Our premiers seem more beholden the Weston’s and Canadian oligarchy they don’t give a shit about us. I’d love to be proven wrong though.

Yea exactly, maybe I’m naive but I hope we’ve chosen Lemmy to eschew the tech oligarchy, including Mr bezos at Amazon inc

Favorite color**

She doesn’t use the kings English, I guarantee

Creationism is one hell of a drug

I spun up a mailcow instance relatively simply through elestio (new to me devops as a service). Takes a few clicks, let’s you pick your cloud provider and has pretty slick admin UI to manage firewalls and dockerfiles etc.

I’ve never setup an SMTP server before, but I’ve decided to with my “buy Canadian” initiative to eschew the tech-oligarchy at every turn I can. Not for Canadians sovereignty alone, but to help get rid the planet of billionaires by starving them of their capital.

But I digress, mailcow makes setting up DNS a breeze and elestio makes mailcow a breeze. I’ve actually spun up this Lemmy instance on elestio too, just so nice its a game changer. Here’s info about mailcow https://elest.io/open-source/mailcow and no I’m not affiliated with elestio, just seems solid thus far (only been using it for a month, but support is on point too).

You’ve obviously felt my pain. Maybe 6th install will take 🤞

I mean Canada is only one country Michael. How many people could they possibly have? 10?

Glad I just ditched Google… Might have to expedite removing data from their claws

ROG Flow 13 looks dope, and while I appreciate your opinion for 15-16", the smaller the better in my book. Rocking a 10.1" Onexplayer netbook 5 and its okay, no Z13 tho, but also way cheaper

Yea that’s kinda what I was thinking. Digital safety should be up to the individual, big companies should be fined and held accountable to the data they collect.

Its why I’m on Lemmy, I host my own instance and thus I own the data. I’ve moved my email and cloud backups to instances I own as well. I understand I’m a bit privileged that I can do such things, but I plan on helping others setup their own needs online if I can.

Unfortunately we’ve been on autopilot just taking online products and folding them into our lives without much forethought to the outcomes. Didn’t know democracy was at threat, but with hindsight it makes sense. Power is moving up the chain of command and could be lost to us labourers for the foreseeable future unless we take it back through our data.
