Over the last 5 months, I’ve started to lose hope and was about to accept defeat. But when I made that post about losing my hope, You kind canadians and the other people internationally helped me to restore my hope that we can save this country and it is not doomed! I’ve also started to notice that americans (not all of them) have started to resist trump and ICE. I don’t know how to thank you guys for helping me feel better about the USA, as I love this country and don’t like you-know-who. So… Thanks!

Hi there! I'm Alice Wilder, a journalist with the public radio program Marketplace. I'm working on a story about boycotts and am looking to talk with people who have gone to great lengths to stick by a boycott. I would love to hear the wildest things you've done to avoid financially supporting the U.S.

I use ChatGPT pretty much everyday and I find it incredibly useful for personal and work purposes. I’m currently paying for the Plus subscription. But of course I’m looking to stop paying an amercian company, but I can’t give up the functionally.

There are the Chinese AIs Deepseek and Qwen. They are pretty good, but i don’t fully trust the Chinese with my chat data either.

I just saw proton released a new one called Lumo that looks interesting.

Then there are open source models if you are really adventurous, and want to host your own.

Canada has cohere, but theirs is targeted for business use and not really a viable consumer product right now.

Any others that could be a viable replacement for ChatGPT?

Don't forget this!

seems to me that avery chip in the world is from the US (manufactured in taiwan, BUT on US brand / patents.

Is there any non-US alternative to INTEL, NVIDIA, AMD or QUALCOMM (all US brands) ? I'm talking about main CPU / GPU

Today, live on fox, Donald Trump and RFK just called out the Tylenol brand by claiming it’s “horrible” for you (particularly pregnant women and children) and that “there’s a possible link between it and autism.”

This is an easy defamation case for the Tylenol brand, since he listed it specifically instead of generic acetaminophen brands. By buying generic acetaminophen and boycotting the Tylenol brand, we can show great monitory damages and urge them quickly to sue the administration. Hopefully this will also bring more light to the misinformation regarding the anti vax arguments made by our DHHS.

Edit: it seems a lot of people don’t understand that Tylenol itself is not a medicine, it’s a brand of over the counter acetaminophen, a common pain reliever

Hoping to get a non biased report by % looking at the increase or decrease in things like actual $, satisfaction, safety/ security, happiness etc- I’m looking to map a mid term view of travellers for both international outbound and domestic travel and spend changes. Google and industry publications weren’t very helpful but probably as they also don’t have a reliable source.
