I'm not anti-AI but OpenAI solving a Millennium Prize as a marketing stunt is beyond lame. It's theft from human potential and accomplishment.

Our UNPLUG AMERICA directory of Canadian alternatives to American technology isn't just a basic list on the Internet. My team deeply researches each individual company that requests to be listed: 🔎 Where they store their data 🔎 Who owns the company 🔎 What money they've taken ✅ unplug.todmaffin.com

Email requesting clarification that PitchBook lists a minority investment by Astralabs (Texas) and asking whether the app’s tournament booking uses Google Firebase hosting or Google-hosted servers for user data.

I have been avid Firefox fan for the past 4 years. Today I just realized how heavy it runs vs. Chrome (never happening) and Safari. 1.5 gigs vs. 200 mb at cold start is bananas.

For Canadians looking to move away from using Google docs, I recommend cdox.ca. Quality small tech. Simple and easy to share with co-authors. I've used it for several months and found it to be a solid platform.

America has been taken over by the billionaire class and the Russians - supported by the most moronic group of humans currently living. It is a coup on global order.

I really couldn’t give a rats ass if we come to an agreement with the US TODAY. Let’s use this opportunity to reboot ourselves into a self-sustaining country. We have the resources and the will.

I will say it again - if you value your Spotify or Apple Music algorithm - don't have kids.

I've noticed how much I’ve aged in the past 5 years and I am really hoping that adding chia seeds to my yogurt can turn this whole thing around.

It’s time I admit it openly - I love house music. I’m not sure how or why this has happened but it feels great to simply get it off my chest.

Currently reading the Picture of Dorian Gray - it’s interesting to see what people found interesting 150 years ago. They found each other interesting. An interesting idea.

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!
