The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs.
Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too.
Luckily, I have a guide for that.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @PaulDitz I wanted to help bad enough that I set up a venmo because ko-fi wasn't working for some reason (even though I used it successfully in the last couple of weeks) 
@kinsale42 @PaulDitz Thank you so much! Like I can't tell you how much this means to me. And yes, Ko-Fi has been very weird about taking payments from other places - specifically Canada. I have no idea what's up. At first I thought it was State trying to get me but no it's literally everyone.

"Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, kindness, and resilience."
RIP Dolly.
from ex-bsky-staff rationalist who turned a bot loose on bsky and demanded people take it seriously:
you should not use "clanker" because the basilisk might take offence

later in the thread, she states that "techbro" is a slur
@davidgerard so instead of fighting companies like insurances trying to use clankers for decision-making, we should be nice to the clanker?! 😭

A change of pace, and greener pastures. In Neofeud 2, my sci-fi retro-adventure game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4611140/Neofeud_2/ #gamedev #indiedev #scifi #visualnovel #SteamDeck #indiegame #noAI #art #artist #scifiart
Urgent: I'm helping my friend @PaulDitz raise $3K for life saving surgery for his special kitty Atticus (pictured below). The good news is, we're only about $500 short. The bad news is I need that $500 in the next 3 or so days. If you can spare a few bucks to save Atticus it would mean the world to me. If he can get the money, the prognosis is good. We can save Atticus together, we really can. You can send money via Venmo (@PaulDitz) CashAp ($PaulDitz) or Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/PaulDitz

@AnarchoNinaWrites It's Leonard Cohen. Most of his songs were probably poems first.
"Looks like freedom but it feels like death/ it's something in-between, I guess/ it's closing time."
I once left a cast party while everyone was passed out drunk and put this song on a timer to wake everyone up in time to make the next day's call.
@David
We do get thunderstorms without rain in summer in Osaka (makes for good pictures!) and occasionally here on Okinawa too. That's probably what they warn about.
@jannem We don't even get those. :-(

@AnarchoNinaWrites At the risk of being _slightly_ wrong and corrected by 800 people, the current use of "clanker" refers to AI systems or the people that have their heads so far up the AI companies' collective ass they can see tonsils.
So yes. Use it early, use it often. Tell them to fuck off with their clanker bullshit.

In honor of Dolly Parton I wanted to share the Drunk History episode about her. It's one of the best episodes of the show and gave a glimpse into what a good hearted person she was. #DollyParton youtu.be/mK40qogSdFI?si=NzTVMf…
