Les Parcs de Saint-Tropez – The Most Exclusive Private Estate Enclave on the French Riviera www.thepinnaclelist.com/editorials/l...

I want to use ChatGPT Atlas, but I can't because the mouse cursor lags, feeling disconnected (something I've never experienced in other browsers), and scrolling is not smooth, altogether making for a horrendous sputtering UI. Perplexity Comet puts it to shame.

The more I use open-source Matomo Analytics, the more I realise how underrated it is, because it’s one of those products that gets used, but is hardly mentioned on social media. I have it installed on-premise, via my dedicated server in Switzerland, away from the prying eyes of Google and Microsoft.

In the last week, I spent a daily average of only 8 minutes on Instagram. That’s called being productive.

Revisiting John Lennon with this Deep Cuts playlist. Brilliant artist. music.apple.com/ca/playlist/...

Every time I use Claude Code in VS Code, I’m astounded.

The AirPods Max. One of my favourite Apple products.

Before President Trump started talking about turning Canada into America’s 51st state and threatening to take Greenland from Denmark, I had already relocated @solespire.com's websites and web apps out of the United States, from California to Switzerland.

It’s been many years since I watched a @garyvee.com video. Since my 20s actually. I even read most of his books. Anyway, this was a solid refresher: youtu.be/VMumHwVEfFs

Essential subscriptions for vibe coding: - Claude Max with VS Code - Perplexity Max with Comet Assistant - Apple Music with AirPods Max

Eliminate distractions. Focus on what elevates you.

It’s still our game, see you in 4 years. 🇨🇦🏒🥅 C’est encore notre game, on se voit dans 4 ans.

The ultimate 5-hour walking video I did in Milan for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics! www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdj0...

I get a kick how the pineapple on pizza checkbox still exists on the @wordpress.org login screen. For the record, it's true, pineapples on pizza is delicious, it's a must!

I've made a final decision on which music streaming service to stick with, and it's the original one I started with: Apple Music

Multi-Account Containers, my favourite feature in @firefox.com, is now in @brave.com, which is a great achievement, because I remember @vivaldi.com telling me it’s not possible for them to introduce containers, due to the way Chromium is built. Now that Brave has done it, Vivaldi really should too!

My PayPal account is older than some people on social media.

I started a new YouTube channel on 21 December 2025, and thus far with 34 videos, it has 256 subscribers, as of 13 February 2026. Not bad, but I want it to do better.

There is Google Analytics, but how about Proton Analytics? What do you say, @proton.me?

Upgraded to the Apple Watch Series 11.

Watching the Olympics in the @cbcgem.bsky.social app!

Over the summer, I jumped from ChatGPT to Claude AI for Claude Code, and in the autumn, I switched to Gemini for Antigravity. Now in the winter, I will be switching back to ChatGPT because of the new Codex app for Mac.

When you get someone onto @signal.org, but they still message you on WhatsApp… 🤦🏻‍♂️

Let’s keep it going with @profgalloway.com’s message to Resist and Unsubscribe. The markets are already beginning to react with sell-offs.

I received this e-mail from @microsoft.com in April 2020, about their name change from Office 365 to @microsoft365.microsoft.com. They've never known how to stick with simple names, and have always known how to make things super confusing.

There is a noticeable improvement in the #Bluesky algorithm. Did @bsky.app change something?

I'm very excited about the new W social network that's coming soon from Europe.

Steve Jobs was always better than Bill Gates.

Buying a new #iPhone, just because it's a new iPhone, is not a good reason to buy a new iPhone.

Do you share an e-mail address with your significant other? My wife and I have a shared Gmail for online purchases, but I’m thinking of switching that to a single @proton.me account that we would share for such cases. Has anyone here used Proton Mail like that?

Cancelled my free trial of Apple Creator Studio. I wouldn’t know why I would be paying for this. The subscription adds no significant value on top of the free versions of the same apps that are included in this bundle.

I bought maple syrup 🍁 in Italy 🇮🇹, from my home country of Canada 🇨🇦.

They're both version 12.0, the original Final Cut Pro and the new Apple Creator Studio release of FCP, so, what's the difference?

This is really bad... I opened my Final Cut Pro library in the new Apple Creator Studio version of FCP, just to test it out, but when I went to open my library again in the original app, I received this message...

This doesn't feel like Apple at all. The new Apple Creator Suite apps are separate downloads from the regular versions. What a mess!

Anyone managing their own #Mastodon instance?

The U.S. Dollar has experienced a tumultuous year against the Euro.

Sell American. 🇺🇸 Buy Canadian. 🇨🇦 Buy European. 🇪🇺

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I don’t recall in my lifetime, back to President George H. W. Bush, when U.S. citizens were being executed by federal law enforcement on the streets of the United States.

Proud to say that all @solespire.com websites are hosted on a dedicated server in Zurich, Switzerland. We moved our sites out of the United States of America in March 2025.

Dear @jensimmons.bsky.social, what does it take to make @qwant.bsky.social an available search engine option in Safari?

If you are an online businessperson based in Canada or Europe, stop selling in USD. Sell in your local CAD or EUR. It’s easy, just use a currency converter app. This way, you will be strengthening your own currency, and you won’t lose money on sales via expensive exchange rates.

If you are using Gmail or Outlook, and you are Canadian or European, stop. Switch to Swiss-based Proton Mail, and everything else that @proton.me offers in their productivity suite.

I hardly check #Mastodon anymore, as it seems to be dying out. I still check #X the most, and then it’s a tie between #Bluesky and #Threads, but I lean more in favour of Bluesky, as I find better discussions here, versus Threads, where it’s more of a spillover of influencers from #Instagram.

I don't think people appreciate @president.ecb.europa.eu @lagarde.ecb.europa.eu enough. Steering the Eurozone thru constant volatility, while modernising @ecb.europa.eu's banking approach across 21 states, is the ultimate high-stakes balancing act. Keeping the EU project steady is no small feat. 🇪🇺💶

Surpris qu’ @olvid.io ne perce pas plus en Europe. C’est le meilleur choix : sécurité, vie privée et surtout souveraineté, avec une archi tech "made in EU" qui bat vraiment WhatsApp et Signal.
