For some reason I'm not surprised that our west coast is leading the way. Here are the government accounts who have left X.
British Columbia:
- Port Moody
- Ladysmith
- District of North Vancouver
- Central Saanich
- View Royal
- Parksville
- Mission
- Island Health

Just another example of why #DigitalIndependance is so important, and why GMail Gemini shenanigans drove me to Proton Mail. The tech bros don't take no for an answer. You are getting #AI and you will love it.

Tolle Idee, gerade für kleine lokale Shops und Anbieter!
Für dieses Jahr habe ich mir zum Ziel gesetzt, meiner Heimatstadt #Olsberg das #Fediverse und den damit verbundenen Gedanken des freien Internet näher zu bringen.

Here's some PR work being delivered on behalf of some #TechBros that also references SASE. The other marketing hype that U.S Tech firms will be using is "on premises solutions", hoping to stop the trend of technology replacement. Essentially they are attempting to give more local (sovereign) control over the data which means there's no need to change your application. Not sure that will work long-term.

My Amazon account has just been deleted.
What concerns me, however, are the many amazon consumers who enthusiastically use Alexa, including, unfortunately, some of my acquaintances whom I would like to continue visiting...
How do you deal with this?

Our fearless leader @ZebKing provided this video that, IMO, is inspirational. It's a bit long so maybe grab a coffee or tea, get relaxed and lean into the message. Barry, the video host, provides scientific studies that demonstrate how a small % of individuals can positively impact societal norms. A key message, among many, stop doomscrolling and just do. A few people taking action can accomplish great things.

It's time for Canadian Digital Independence Day. The 1st Sunday of the month is when you take action to reduce your use of #TechBros software and embrace #opensource solutions. Time to brag - tell us what you accomplished this past month.
Personally I have moved my email to Proton Mail and pretty happy with the change. Next - dump Chrome for something else, potentially Firefox.
Please boost for reach and tell us your #CDNdid plans.
Quick break for some exercise. I will return later this morning with coffee, freshly baked banana bread, and more updates on Europe.
