I want to cancel my american owned subscriptions and I'm a american
Maybe we've always been the bad guys, but it sucks that the US is openly being the bad guys now. This isn't the country I was indoctrinated to think it was. Sad.
The US have always been the bad guys. Even independence was about being able to do more genocide and land stealing without the British getting in the way.
Canada also has a brutal history of both slavery and genocide.
Accepting that is the first step to overcoming systemic racism and building communities that we can all thrive in.
The US war of independence started mostly because super rich shipowners didn't like the idea of tea not having to be transported to London first, but could come directly from India and Indonesia.
That would save a ton of money for the American colonists, but it would cut out all those wealthy shipowners (and smugglers) who ran the London-America routes.
So they lied to the people do their dirty work for them.
Friendly reminder that practically speaking most countries have committed genocide if they've been around longer than a century ish.

Eagerly awaiting European owned competitors to american big tech products
It might not cover everything, but here’s a nice list:

Thank you!
Thanks!
https://cryptpad.fr/ as an alternative to Googles online office suite.
end-to-end encrypted and open-source collaboration suite.
still really early in development but if you primarily work from the browser on a desktop/laptop, it works well enough. I've struggled with getting sheets working on a mobile browser but I really like that you could completely self host if you want or just pay them to do it for you.
Yeah that's the thing that stands out so much. That almost everything mainstream is either US or China. Come on rest of the world step up.
I quit using Google photos and Google drive recently. I've moved to Filen, which is a cloud storage provider based in Germany that offers strong end-to-end encryption. So far it seems pretty great!
Just an example

The real cancel culture.
Then do it, is someone holding a gun to your head?
Real American question
Haha I don't actually have any to cancel.
Do it. I canceled all my streaming and music subscriptions about a year ago and would highly recommend it to all right thinking people.
jellyfin ftw!

Canada here! Literally cancelled Netflix last week and talked to my SO about using the money instead to pay for a seedbox lol.
Also trying to do a grocery run without buying any American products is a challenge but doable! Loading up on Dr. Oetkers pizza and Romanian pasta

Just a reminder to use your local library, they'll often have plenty of movies and TV shows to rent either at a very low price or fully free. Perfect complement for the seven seas
Local library here has streaming services with lots of classic movies (watched some Akira Kurosawa flicks). And other streaming services thru there have educational kids' stuff. Also, free museum passes. Telescopes. Musical instruments. Video games. Online newspapers and magazines. Pretty badass.
some libraries even have a small streaming service, so you don't have to leave the house
Local libraries rock.
Best of luck, Canada. I'm seeding for you.
The only thing holding us back at this point are our shitty internet companies lol.
Fuck you Telus!
Cancelled my Netflix and prime and subbed to CBC gem.
One big problem with our country is that our own identity and culture has been eroded by American pop culture. It’s honestly good to get away from American media and focus on Canadian made content otherwise we our identity and culture just blends into American culture and I hate that.
It's tragic too when there is so much Canadian media that gets overshadowed as a result. I've been picking up Orphan Black again which is a fantastic series, but too many Americans have never heard of it.
My wife loved orphan black! I didn't know it was Canadian. We both loved Kim's convenience. And Kenny vs Spenny is an all time great.

Canadians were some of the OG tv pirates. They were the hookup for hacked satellite boxes in the 90's.
It's why most of the shows I watched as a kid had the maple leaf in the corner.
I tried searching for this but only found recent news. Anywhere I can read about this? Wikipedia, article, or book?
I love tech history.
There's a little bit in this Wikipedia article but I can't find much either.
IIRC it mostly stemmed from a lot of US tv channels not being available in Canada at the time. So to make them available, they started hacking satellite descramblers and Direct TV cards. Then they found a giant market in the US willing to buy these boxes and cards to get free tv.
There were people in the US making them too, but the Canadian stuff was more reliable and updated quicker when Direct TV changed codes.

Netflix is really shit as a subscription anyway, it's gone downhill with the amount of 'tiers' and constant slop production that encourages cancelled 1-season shows over longer, fan-driven works.
Thanks for the reminder. Just cancelled
People paid for Netflix?
Suckers come from both sides of the border
Ukraine had to start banning Russia funded slop after the invasion...
Maybe doing it before the invasion would have been better.
the quality and selection are better on certain websites with weird little cartoon character avatars
Argh, eh!
