Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 14/09/2026We as Canadians need to use our insane software talent and engineering skills to build these alternate digital products! Then we can leverage our international platform as the most connected economy in the world to sell them as solutions to the world as new options. www.cbc.ca/radio/justas...cbc.caDigital sovereignty has come up in trade talks, but what does it mean? | CBC RadioTensions between Canada and the United States have raised concerns about Canada's digital sovereignty, but what does that term mean, and how can Canada promote it?

Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 10/09/2026Given that it depends on which is most stable and appears to lie less, I suspect anyone outside the US might say China. That’s kind of insane 110
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 08/09/2026I watched from my rooftop and yesterday from Hanlan's Point. We're lucky to have this impressive tradition. 120
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 07/09/2026The elote-style "Mexican flavoured" ones are so good though lol 010

Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 26/08/2026The image of an eagle terrorizing the goose that the Whitehouse posted has actual footage of the goose eventually winning 😆. If this isn't a metaphor for US trade policy then I don't know what is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIja... 1102
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 25/08/2026Currently sitting at my desk staring at Lake America. 😆😜. Sigh, this timeline is weird. 000
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 23/08/2026I knew it was coming and yet I still laughed so hard. 😆 0100
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 23/08/2026Is it possible that Mark Carney might be the most powerful person in the world (albeit briefly)? Power isn’t just military. It’s leverage. It’s trade. It’s relationships. 000
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 22/08/2026The sad part is Americans are being buffered from what's happening with their largest customer. Here's how much they are paying attention... 010
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 22/08/2026It's sad watching what's happening between Canada and the US. This is a vital moment between both countries but one side is seeking to diminish the other. This is not what allies do. Glad to see Canada standing up to a bully. It was the right move. It will come at a cost, but we have no choice. 🇨🇦 140
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 16/08/2026I’ll share your post with the team, but this would be better as an issue on GitHub. :) 110
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 15/08/2026I'm not trying to lift up the rich? It's a simple concept: capital will leave a country for lower taxable regions (there are many options). That means less net tax for public use. This isn't about emotion, it's about recognising how capital works. You're too busy assuming my ideology to understand. 200
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 15/08/2026That’s incredibly presumptuous and pompous. Your moral superiority complex is really all I need to know about you. 100
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 15/08/2026We're so off topic lol. The original post I was arguing that taxing wealth has negative implications and isn't the solution. I was called immoral. We likely agree about the problem but not the solution and that's why I'm saying people have different opinions. We're talking past each other. 210
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 15/08/2026We can agree on those ones! The problem is ppl disagree on what those terms mean. That’s why it’s subjective. 120
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 15/08/2026The fact that you would even suggest that to a random person who you’ve never met and just assumed their perspective says more about you and your morality than anything. There is no wrong side. It’s all just opinions and ideas and what works and what doesn’t. ✌️ 100
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 15/08/2026I didn’t say it works. Any form of human organization and social system will have its flaws. There’s no form that is perfectly moral. I’ve also heard arguments that capitalism is a very moral and efficient system. Also morality is inherently subjective, but we’re off topic 🤣 120
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 15/08/2026What the heck are you talking about? What standard of morality are you referring to? This is how the modern world works. Are you suggesting the current world operates this way? 100
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 15/08/2026No. What you’re missing is that rich people have ability. We are competing against other regions that want to attract wealth and economic prosperity. If we alienate wealth then we will get 0 tax revenue. That’s like saying I’m going to charge my customers 2x more and expect them to remain customers. 100
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 15/08/2026Well I think any rational person would agree that identification of risk is ridiculous. With risk comes reward. The public and the private have to decide what the risk is. On the public side if the project fails the public incurs opportunity cost. That’s a great enough loss. 010
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 15/08/2026I found this a bit confusing. So you’re saying the public owns the asset and private corps invest into extracting value? So risk is on them and not the public directly? 200
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 15/08/2026So what’s the best option in your opinion? Like anything in this world, then bigger the risk the bigger the reward. 000
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 15/08/2026Honest question: call me naive and call me stupid, but how do we raise the capital we need to double down on critical industries? Does the public want to take the risk for hundreds of billions (a trillion) in investment? Or would you prefer not to create wealth that we have in our land at all? 300
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 14/08/2026I think people are maybe a little too trigger happy about the AI writing in today’s world. I agree a lot of content being AI produced is annoying, but writing a release announcement that’s not too long, not too complicated, that hits the mark on detail and is well written...is NOT easy. 010
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 14/08/2026It was written by Ryan fully, reviewed by an LLM and at least 10-15 other humans before being published. 000
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 13/08/2026This represents many years of hard work by Ryan and our maintainers. Very proud to get this out the door. Give 2.0 a spin while it’s in RC and report any bugs on Discord! Let’s get this shipped officially 💪 0231
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 09/08/2026I’m going to hold my breath until I see August, then I’ll either get excited or depressed 🤣 010
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 01/08/2026Ugh, I just watched a Musk interview and what he's saying about a zero-cost society is kind of spot on. After feasting off Drexler and similar futurist authors for decades I do believe technology will bring us there. I fear Musk and other billionaires tainting those ideas by just talking about it. 000
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 30/07/2026I'm late on my quarterly ERP rant, so here it is... For the love of god someone please disrupt the *whole* ERP industry. It's ripe for change. Don't make me spend the next few years of my life tackling this problem, it doesn't look fun :p 010
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 28/07/2026Fascism is overused as a general term these days. In my undergraduate studies we defined it very precisely. Most modern literature and dictionaries butcher it. It’s just the same if not worse than the misuse of the word “socialism”. 000
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 28/07/2026Mmmmm I’d be interested to read that. Goes against my knowledge of fascism as a doctrine and system 100
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 28/07/2026Because Shopify is an easier platform with better integrations. These other platforms either service specific niches, don’t have good integrations or aren’t easy to build on. I’ve built a lot of ecomm, I’ve been through this calculus with customers for a decade. :) 030
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 28/07/2026Lightspeed, Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Saleor, PrestoCart…there’s a lot of competition…Shopify did it better. 121
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 27/07/2026Last weekend I got to see one of my favourite bands during their 20th anniversary tour. Any Canadian millennial likely knows the words to their albums. What a fantastic show @billytalent.com! 110
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 27/07/2026Heading back to Toronto from spending a weekend in #Halifax (Nova Scotia) at a tournament. Makes you realise how amazing other parts of Canada are. The food, the people, the weather. Thanks for a beautiful weekend. I’ll be back soon! I’ve neglected the Maritimes. 000
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 22/07/2026I’ve been saying this forever, we should be opening and utilizing those screens. They’re just sitting there getting old and severely underutilized. I live 5 minutes from the Ontario Place screen….I would have loved to pay good money to watch The Odyssey on it. Ugh the mismanagement. 020
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 21/07/2026I do agree with this. Bully’s have to one up their aggression when their attacks aren’t taking noticeable effect. This will keep happening until one of the sides flinches. It’s a game of chicken. 000
Dave Di Biase @davedbase.com · 21/07/2026Bullies always want things to be visible. It gives them power and attempts to make the opposite side feel weaker. It’s part of the strategy they’ve used so many times. One trick pony. 181
