    Bring it, bitch.

    I will never visit the us again. i cancelled netflix, prime, apple music. i use crave, cbc gem, and qobuz now. i installed ubuntu on my old surface pro and it works beautifully. switched to libre office. my next phone will be a fairphone.

    when i go to the grocery store, if an item i want is a product of the usa, i eat something else.

      I also cancelled and use the same services! Qobuz is pretty good, it has a lot of room to improve but it’s keeping me more up to date with music than Apple was.

      I got Sync.com (Canadian) instead of iCloud (though iCloud is not fully replaceable). My backup server is in the EU because I use custom borg scripts, but there’s also eazyBackup in Canada.

      I own my own domain for email, and I bought my wife one too so she can get off of Gmail.

      Legend. I had cancelled all that but then Telus came in and offered it for free. So technically I have it, but I’m not really paying for it.
