Tech leaders ready launch of Canadian social-media platform Gander to buck U.S. dominance
Founders aim to create alternative that addresses content, data sovereignty concerns
It’s not lost on us that a new social platform isn’t exactly top of mind. Tech execs joining the U.S. military. More war.
And here we are, grateful for everyone with us in this moment. A social platform isn’t all that social without good people supporting it.

I just re-watched Alice In Chains MTV unplugged for the first time in a very long time. Watching Laine Staley perform gave me shivers. The noticeable pain in his vocals, the harmonies with Jerry Cantrell… Laine still remains one of my favourite rock vocalists of all time. Nutshell was especially raw

Use Signal, I wouldn’t trust anything from Meta (Whatsapp, FBook Messenger). Use a VPN (Mozilla VPN) and stop using Chrome. Firefox in private browsing mode is the ticket or Firefox Focus on iOS.

Be on the lookout for a Coinbase scam coming from random 888 toll free numbers. They will tell you they’ve seen suspicious logins from foreign countries and that they need to confirm information with you, in which they are just harvesting data from your responses such as current balance etc.

Was originally commenting on Brave but yes they both use Chromium as responded by others. Sure Firefox is quite dependant on Google ad revenue, but most software that is free needs ad revenue to sustain themselves.

Firefox is independent of chromium completely and privacy centric.

The runway was clear and dry according to Pearson Airport. There was a possible air bump from a previous flight landing that may have caused the plane to suddenly lose altitude faster than they wanted.

You should always be protecting your identity. Strong pass phrases, multi factor authentication, using a password manager, difficult security questions are absolutely imperative to securing our personal data. Too many passwords to remember, the annoyance of the MFA process needs to be pushed aside.

A careful balance needs to be had between protecting the general public’s data privacy while still upholding law, especially in cases as disturbing as this. Great article.
