We're getting older together and it makes me smile as often as it breaks my heart - Lemmy.World
My lovely cat is a senior citizen. She doesn’t really like to play with her toys
or chase things as much these days (she’s on anti-seizure meds that make her a
little unsteady which I think have made her play less enjoyable for her) so she
spends a lot of her time looking out/sleeping in front of windows. But, whenever
she realizes I’m about to nap, she gets super excited, jumps on the bed, yowls
until everything is juuuuuuuust right (her soft blanket on top of mine but
perfectly flat etc) but once we’re both lying down, she starts purring the with
the fury of a thousand rusty chainsaws, regardless of whether she’s getting
skritched. More so if she can get one of my arms working as a pillow. So, even
while her former favourite activities are falling off, we’re both finding weird
moments of happy while I try to avoid thinking about the inevitable. And there’s
something just so wonderful about hearing how aggressively happy she is just to
hang out nearby for an extended period of time. Don’t really have a point but we
woke up from a nap and I wanted to share.

Meta is one of the highest performing American stocks and 98% of their revenue
is advertising. Make it harder and strike a blow for Canada! The guide is easy
enough that parents, grandparents and other non tech types should be fine with
it.

Sports scores etc apps: TSN or sportsnet

Sports scores etc apps: TSN or sportsnet - Lemmy.World
TSN is a Canadian company owned by Bell while Sportsnet is owned by Rogers, both
of which are Canadian companies. For any thinking “I’m not buying anything, the
app is free!” Yes, the apps are free, we are the product and more app users =
more profit. (Admittedly, ESPN has a 30% stake in the parent company.) ESPN is
owned by Disney, TheScore was Canadian but was recently bought by an American
company.

Reality: On 4 February 1938 a wave of strikes began by dock workers in Hawaii
demanding equal pay with dockers on the West Coast of the United States, and a
union shop. The strike ended with police shooting 50 unarmed workers in the Hilo
massacre. This is a history of the events:

Donald wants us isolated, each country standing up to a giant by ourselves. And
for some products, there aren’t going to be affordable Canadian substitutes.
But, if we look around the globe, maybe there are more? I couldn’t help but
think this after so many kind folks pointed me to Deezer and other Tidal
alternatives that aren’t Canadian but at least aren’t American owned.
Personally, my preferences are Canada first, anywhere else non American second,
and then ugh… I imagine others feel similar?

Struggling, what to do about Tidal? - Lemmy.World
When Neil Young asked us to switch to Tidal, I went along and loved that it paid
the artists 10x more per stream. But Tidal is American owned, spotify isn’t… I’m
struggling on this one, a lot of the lil punk bands I love could really use the
revenue but, y’know, trade war etc. Anyone have any thoughts to assuage a guilty
conscience on this one?
