Hitching on the wagon that Pixelfed is leading is good. There's a lot of talk even from those who don't care about FOSS, or Fediverse projects. Let's give some credit and let things slide so the whole can succeed.

That's a great tip thanks!

Most people don't care about these things. I believe the mainstream people need to understand that you can own your information. The problem is more and more people don't care about their privacy and there's a whole generation that has been so accustomed to sharing everything with the corpos.

Most people mix privscy with anonymity rather than a "need to know basis". Hell, my neighbors still say "I have nothing to hide" but that's not that point and a better response is needed for the Fediverse and its future.

Maybe link to a site with a list of instances and their locale?

Add it to the list. Definitely changing my blocklist on pihole/adguard

I cannot wait to see this bulldog in power and tread water time and time again because he has no policy. He's been a barking mutt his whole career. Useless twat.

I get triggered when a for profit entity (like ESRI) uses open data and then sells it to governments..

As a Canadian I have seen our government crumble to for-profit entities. The issue is that a lot of governments do not want the liability of something if it fails.

Will EU countries that planned to use open source options and their own staff, already on the payroll, still likely create a procurement plan for maintenance and ongoing tech support?

Home Assistant is a great platform to build on and their assist feature is amazing. Definitely worth the effort.

An alternative to eBay and PayPal is needed! Thiel is up there too with Musk and Bozo.

You're right, maybe it's a dream to have a Canadian GDPR-like policy. I once tried to get Canadian Tire to delete my data and they declined the request. 🤦🏼

 

I recently stumbled across a post in the c/Europe community (https://lemmy.world/post/24641691) that highlighted alternatives to software and infrastructure from Big Tech companies. This got me thinking - is there a similar resource available for Canadians, or would there be interest in creating one?

Has anyone found a decent option to replace PayPal?
