Boycott US

Avoid Paywall

This guy just keeps dropping the ball.

Because they didn't have razor wire and chain link fence in 1776.

As the title says I cannot believe I used a US company (Apple) to create an email address for Lemmy.ca, I have been going wild on seeing what “free” services/emails I have been signed up for using Apple’s hide my email and sorting through my inbox. Seeing if I need things anymore or if there are Canadian alternatives. I strongly suggest to everyone go through your password manager (please say you are using one) and then go through what you may need in the future or what not (then sign up for a Canadian password manager like 1Password).

More than half of Canadians now say they “no longer feel welcome in the United States,” for example, and this sentiment is strongest among women and older people. Article content

So I have bad habits of doing in app purchases because I have a pihole that blocks the ads, so I cannot use the commercials to get power ups or whatever. I do not want to pay Apple for things so I needed to find a way to help me stop paying Apple for things. I wanted to originally fine the address to just block payments to apple from through my pihole, after reading things I found that this would probably block updates and all that and that is not a good thing. So I ended up blocking payments as if I were a freakin child on the devices, I guess I can still do it with the password maybe? Feels a little demeaning but I need to stop myself and making it harder for me to buy power ups or whatever is a good thing.

President Donald Trump said on Friday, June 27, that he is calling off trade negotiations with Canada in retaliation for taxes impacting US tech firms, adding that Ottawa will learn of their new tariff rate within a week.

ICE said the Canadian was found unresponsive Monday at the Federal Detention Center in Miami and was attended to by medical staff, but was pronounced dead the same day.

I already have a Canadian company hosting my domain and random emails; I create a new email for every service I signup for which forwards to another address so that I do not get junk mail, one address starts spamming me I can just turn off the address. Then I have my ISP’s email address which I am thinking of leaving, but this is all besides the point. I am stuck on my iPad and iPhone because of family things, does anyone know of a non US mail app to replace my iOS mail app, I want to stay away from proton? I have replaced Safari with Vivaldi no complaints, it works along side my piholes at blocking ads, I have almost replaced Reddit with Lemmy, I have replaced YouTube with Unwatched, I am in the process of moving my media to Jellyfin, I have replaced Apple’s media store with a bunch of arr apps, and I am replacing all my Apple computer devices with raspberry pi’s.

Deleting social media apps completely and leaving phones or other devices at home are other tips being recommended.
