So thankful for vertical greenhouse technology. Being able to get fresh Québec greens in February is amazing.
It's also one of the things that thankfully still gets government funding.

With all the tiktok drama I have been telling people Mastodon is still here and kicking!! I love this app and I really think the decentralized model is the best for social media.
Still, people don’t want to join! What do you think Mastodon’s biggest barriers are to courting new users? What could be done to improve the product and grow the user base in a positive way?

“At this historical moment, I’d value the fact that Mastodon is made in the #europeanunion. I’m a new user myself who joined as part of a Trump-led US boycott campaign, so I was looking for a #EU-made alternative—Mastodon seemed like the most structured one anyway.

Due to the tyrannical U.S. president suspending the nearly 100 year old de minimis exemption (no import duty for up to $800 in goods), my new little Canadian Etsy shop has no choice but to SUSPEND SHIPPING TO THE U.S. as of August 25th.
Devastating.
If you’re in 
Canada 🇨🇦 and want to support me — drop by my shop and use promo code FXCKTRUMP25 for $5 off any order over $25 or spend $50 for a flat 25% off, no promo code needed. 🤘🏻#BuyCanadian#Etsy#SmallBusiness#FuckTrump

Might be ready to try Linux for home office.
Currently looking at inexpensive (but name-brand) mini PCs with a well known Linux OS pre-installed. No, I do not want to install my own OS.
Suggestions welcome.

Looking for tools or supplies from a Canadian company, and you can’t find at your local hardware store, https://OHCanadaSupply.ca is pretty good. Edmonton Alberta based. Great service and reasonable prices. Of course not everything they sell is made in Canada, but it beats shopping at USA hardware stores like HomeDepot, Lowes, RONA, RenoDepot etc. In Quebec we also have PatrickMorin and Canac hardware stores, both Quebec based.

I believe supporting Canadian domain digital service companies starts with our personal and business email and cloud account(s), as these represent the most fundamental aspect of our online profile.
As I try wean myself off American service providers,
I am continuing to look for reliable and secure Canadian email options.
Does anyone have experience with https://omail.ca/?
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could hold the USA to account for guns like they are trying to hold us to account for fentanyl. Only difference I believe is the gun imports are real.

So far so good with setting up my new Canadian domociled email account with https://nili.ca.
As a small company, they don’t offer a downloadable app so you have to use your own email client. They provide a tool to email yourself the account settings to type in the IMAP or POP configuration. After that, sending and receiving works.
The biggest problem I’ve encountered is the AutoCorrect keeps wanting to change nili to Nike. :/
I decided to go ahead and give them a try. It isn’t free, $25 for first year with the “WELILIN” promo code, but it’s not too expensive either so if it ends up not being legit, then I’m not too far out. They do have a GST registration number so that lends some credibility. They appear to be based out of north Toronto.
I will update this thread once the email has been set up, which apparently takes a day.

A new detention of a scientist. This time a woman who worked for Harvard Medical School. She was detained in Louisiana and may be deported to Russia, where her life may be in danger for having opposed war.

I couldn't find an existing list of Canadian alternatives to American Internet services, so I've started one:
