A broken man on a #Halifax pier. Just some wannabe,suppose I could do better. Middled aged Canadian, child of immigrants who can't relate to them. Attempting every day to be a good person to all walks of folks and life. I don't always succeed. Love all things computer related, admirer of engineers professional and amateurs especially. Hoping your motivation rubs off on me.

“Coun. Zeb King wants to see Canadian political leaders adopt alternative social media platforms like the Fediverse”

“He proposes the Fediverse, a decentralized social network built on the ActivityPub protocol, as a viable and privacy-focused alternative.”

“King has sought out Chris Alemany, a member of the team that runs SocialBC.ca, to help Botterell's staff get on Mastodon.”

“all i wanted was a high paying job. But now i have to circle back, touch base, pivot, think outside the box, grab the low hanging fruit, synergize, check my bandwidth, network, piggy back off what Matt said. All without reinventing the wheel but still moving the needle”
So I want to experiment with something but I need to replicate the network setup to be the same /similar to thebfree wifi access you get in stores like Walmart, Tim hortons, Costco , etc. I don’t even know where to start looking for this. Any advice or pointers?
Update: not talking about the device but replicating the free service accurately without buying the device myself :)

Interesting CBC article on the strength of boycott of the USA.

What it doesn't say is once a boycott campaign is sustained long enough, then permanent behaviour shifts tend to take place. Fwiw - I'm still find myself trying to avoid Shell (and Barclays) because of their investments in Apartheid South Africa.

Boycotts often wane over time as people lose interest and return to old habits. But many Canadians’ resolve to boycott the U.S., and focus on Canadian products has remained strong, thanks to Trump's prolonged trade war.

OpenAI to release web browser that could challenge Google Chrome: sources | CBC News

The browser is slated to launch in the coming weeks, according to three sources familiar with the matter who spoke with Reuters. If adopted by the 400 million weekly active users of ChatGPT, OpenAI's browser could put pressure on a key component of rival Google's ad-money spigot.
