No it doesn’t matter that much. Unless you are seeing too many posts of stuff you don’t like (e.g. US politics, tech news) and not enough of what you want to see (e.g. science, local content from a more regional instance, anarchist stuff, etc.), or you have a beef with how moderation is done on your local communities, then you should move to an instance more tailored to your needs.

And a mix of available copies/qualities are better.

Edited to include more info, thank you for pointing it out. I’d known in my head the share price started in lower double digits without major changes in supply of shares, added it all for context.

Welcome welcome! The few bots that try to spam have been found out and disconnected relatively quickly (there have been a number of Fediverse-wide intentional efforts to spam that were dealt with).

The comment quality tends to be higher on average and braindead meme chains that bots can copy for karma farming are far less common.

That said, the Lemmy experience is yours to craft. Subscribe and block as needed, don’t feed the trolls, don’t sweat getting a few downvoted comments here and there, report bad behaviour and have fun.

How the heck were they ever valued at $US200 per share?

Edit: (from ~$34. Market cap 6.4B initially, at $200US I estimate as ~36B, here shows a high of $38B)

Ever heard of Leamington, ON or Delta BC? Those cities make lots of tomatoes.

During an address to lawmakers at the state capitol in Tallahassee, the governor briefly mentioned Florida’s tourist numbers from 2024, boasting 142 million visitors, 3.3 million of whom hailed from Canada, he noted.

Maybe Florida will still get visits from its Southern neighbours, Texas and the Northeast, but most would be out for merely a weekend trip usually. Those millions from Canada are the ones willing to buy property, spend the big bucks over a whole season on tourism, and make your sorry state a less miserable and DeSantis-like place to live.

If you want to read the story of someone’s experience trying to block all the big tech companies from their life back in 2019. Their first week was trying to block Amazon.

Edit: A big challenge would be if you wanted to avoid connecting to sites that run off of or have content served by AmazonWebServices. To do that for example, you’d have to click these archive links for Gizmodo instead of the direct links I did above.

Shhh! Don’t spoil Trump’s War On Christmas plan to drone strike Santa Claus!

Very promising statements from Carney.

Snowbirds selling their properties and refusing to visit there will take their flags back with them. Florida’s tourism industry is really going to be missing the Canadians next winter no matter where the tariffs go.

For beer: Smaller local microbreweries and vintners are worried they might get pushed out on sales and shelf space to more famous brands and producing areas, e.g. Okanagan, Montréal, Niagara, Vancouver, Toronto taking over Winnipeg, Quebec City, Halifax, St. John’s, etc.

Other things, some things provinces are worried about competition, from places with lower tax or looser unionization rules.

Some were just that each province was asked to legislate each thing independently, so they never really consulted each other and came up with different solutions for the same aim. Ex. Hours of Service rules, car safety, professional licensing.

Some are worried about language laws (particularly French and official Indigenous languages in soms provinces).

It’s true that there has been a separatist movement, that seems to overlap on the diagram with the portion of people wanting to join the U.S…

The author massively overstates how much thought Trump and the people in his administration would put into the granularity of courting areas of support he might have.

He’d also pretend in an executive order to be vested the power to annex new territories rather than urge Congress to do anything.

Unfortunate for UAW who threw their weight behind the tariffs.

Fair is fair. The Trump admin broke the agreement, we aren’t going back to the previous arrangement if you only go back halfway.

Canada’s retaliation, at least the 30 to 150 billion announced, is small potatoes on the scale of the massive US economy, that’s not snark but a fact.

But I think the writer is giving sufficient credence to the notion that despite that difference in size, we have an outsized ability to turn the screws (like Doug Ford is) when already the US administration is screwing itself 6 ways to Sunday.

Had we as Canadians acted with indifference to these threats, the sense of urgency of the true effects of MAGA and Trumpism might not be conveyed clearly enough, since American media is distracted by 1000 scandals going at once, and the White House and Republicans’ Congress are now like a Ministry of Alternative Facts.

Every effort matters. 50% is still better than zero.

Huh. Heeeyah!

On a person to person level, one can probably provide a substitute for their addiction to facsism. So, something like class consciousness?
