As much as Quebec goes too far with laïcité, especially around dictating what you can wear and prayers in public space.
The other side with Ontario can also be absolutely bonkers.

"Today, only 3% of bank activity consists of "lending to firms and individuals engaged in the production of goods and services."

Do you feel that you are too dependent on Big Tech and overwhelmed by the number of services you use?
Are you afraid of the amount of work it takes to get out? - I totally feel you!
But the best is to just start. Start with one service at a time.
Don't overthink it too much.
Don't stress yourself.
Just do the first step. And do the second when you're ready.
"the assets of British banks ‘mostly consist of claims on other banks. Their liabilities are mainly obligations to other financial institutions. Lending to firms and individuals engaged in the production of goods and services – which most people would imagine was the principal business of a bank – amounts to about 3 per cent of that total.’"

After Amazon's services failed in he middle of the night, my electricity at home failed for over 2 hours this morning, came back for long enough for me to get into the shower and then failed again (in a no-windows bathroom).
Those outages had depleted my UPS's battery reserves, I think, so when the power did come back on for real, my ISP's (terrible) ONT/Modem/Hub thing wouldn't power back up. So I had to have them replace that (luckily they have retail stores).

Started migrating services off of the RPis and onto the new #Proxmox server. The initial install went fairly smoothly, got the VLANs configured, and then setup the new primary DNS server. That took longer than it should have, but I will say this: the VM is so much more snappy than the Pi. Next up is the secondary DNS server.

Big milestone for Australia's energy transition: Hanwha Energy just got approval for a massive 100 MW battery in southeast Queensland.
This isn't just storage—it'll capture surplus solar, power 15,000 homes during peak demand, and provide critical grid stability services.
A major step toward a more resilient, renewable-powered grid.
“Additionally, Cursor’s Amazon Web Services bills more than doubled from $6.2 million in May 2025 to $12.6 million in June 2025, exacerbating a cash crunch that began when Anthropic introduced Priority Service Tiers, an aggressive rent-seeking measure that begun what I call the Subprime AI Crisis, where model providers begin jacking up the prices on their previously subsidized rates.”

I've been lucky to run an ecommerce store for 10 years and only got 2 chargebacks.
One of them was a fraudulent one, where customer received the item but claimed it was defective without contacting us, sending us a photo or giving us a chance to make it right. For all we know, it was not defective.
Just won the chargeback dispute, which is actually not too frequent.
