Recommendations for Effective Boycott of the US with Software (and best security)- Fellow Canadian of Mapledom #Canada #BuyCanadian #BuyGlobal #BanAmericans #BanAmerica #BanUS #Trump #TradeWar #Tariffs
From Belleville, ON here. Most digital systems are in some way owned or operated through the US, but here's the best I figure we can do at the moment to boycott the insanity to our south on our systems. Feel free to leave other suggestions in the comments, anything major to add I'll add. Operating System: Linux Mint - Lead Devs are from Europe. Several other distros from europe but this one is most similar to windows in initial layout. Fork from Ubuntu which is from the UK. For gaming that doesn't work on proton(valve) a KVM virtualmachine in windows is still needed though. Web Browser: Firefox or Brave - Both are American but privacy focused and independant from American corporations like Google or Bing/Microsoft. Both are compatible with most things these days Web Search Engine: Mojeek - Based out of the UK. Not that our semi-former colonial masters are bright and pure of heart, but this stands out from Startpage and DuckDuckGo with independant search results that do not rely on using Google or Bing backends. It is also not based in the US. !Warning! that Opera appears as being based out of Norway, but is in fact majority owned by a rich Chinese guy, and that country has all of it's corporate entities entirely beholden to the Chinese Government. Do with that what you will. Password Management, Email, Cloud Storage, Calendar, VPN: Proton - Based in Switzerland, minority owned by an organization dedicated to privacy in France. Proton Unlimited subscription grants access to all of this for around $130 CDN for a year System Security: eset - Founded in the 90's, it's head office is in Slovakia in Europe. Basic plan for as little as $55 CDN a year, maximum plan (which includes a VPN) is about $130 CDN a year. Also happens to be the "official" service for the Calgary Flames (woot?) many unforeseen ways this could break our bank in the long run. Hope y'all stay safe and keep open hearts, remember that love shines brighter than hate.

I can hardly think of a better example of the moral decay in modern health care than a Goldman analyst noting that biotech cures for diseases like hepatitis are cool and all, until their success diminishes the business opportunity for pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Goldman Sachs asks in biotech research report: 'Is curing patients a sustainable business model?'
Goldman Sachs warns sales from the most successful disease treatments are difficult to maintain.
