I would consider canceling any dealings with US if said person isn’t white, even that is a stretch for this dogshit administration. I hope we see a general protest by making the World Cup barren.

As a sane person I am deeply sorry for any strife our government causes. Do your best to stay safe!

LightPhone is your best bet for a Linux phone if anyone is interested.

Unfortunately, Bazzite doesn’t work well on my devices otherwise I would. Waiting for a full SteamOS release to get better support.

We know about GOG but most Dev Studios avoid it like the plague for some reason. Couldn’t possibly be related to DRM money.

I don’t care if its seen as entitled as someone else said. If companies want to make money as a monopoly they should be held to a higher standard. They have to give us a bonus for selling data, why else am I going to use their service.

Regardless I do think it is a sign of the times, going dark on data will do nobody besides oligarchs any good.

You mean we should stop enslaving citizens to corporations yes? That is practically capitalist kryptonite.

I don’t believe anyone should be able to be worth billions if we actually value humanity.

Not refusing to refuse is still being complicit. I find it hilarious that inside trading fucks blame progressives every chance they get.

AI Slop isn’t the only thing ruining my internet experience. Humans can also be garbage, looking at you influencers. AI Gamer Friends seems actually practical for being able to play multiplayer solo though.

I find it comforting knowing that streamers are raging at children online, everyone gets to eat the shit-sandwhich including them lmao.

Y’all can use LibreWolf or BestHomePageEver if it really bugs somebody. I do get being annoyed by shortcut ads though.

Yeah i’m no programmer but being forced to rely on AWS or any other company for hosting sucks.

Finding could also mean letting users share hosting responsibilities. Like making fediverse similar to torrenting.

I’ve been aware of the fediverse since the api-lypse but have just been lurking for a good while. I really hope we manage to find a social media system that doesn’t bow to censorship. We need to find a way that lets us decentralize servers to not rely on AWS.

Self Moderated is just fine. Why do I need to doxx myself to be online? I’m not giving away my birth certificate or SSN just to post on social media that idea is crazy lmao.

Yeah unfortunately we get to live through this nightmare even if you didn’t vote for it. Best tip is to not use US services as payback. Use a VPN if necessary.

There used to be a way to make Google accounts with no number but that’s probably been patched. I generally refuse to add numbers if I can help it.

Proton, Mailbox & fastmail are all good options. Best way to avoid it is self-hosting but that is beyond most people (as in time-consuming).

Really hoping this isn’t a 3DS situation where they added a notch to gamecarts. Its so dumb that we can’t use game consoles like a PC and just fucking install discs if we want to without a shitty checking system.

Best trash takes itself out is how I see it. Glad they make it so easy to spot with red merch.

If they made it so your average joe could contribute to the Fediverse with their own hardware I’d contribute. Tired of seeing social media be owned by Billionares.

Honestly, I won’t forgive Biden for just smiling in response to Trump winning after not leaving 4 years sooner. Before anyone asks, I voted for Harris, so don’t shove that narrative down my throat.

Yeah this was my first moment also and largely why I will never pay for NSO+. How they treat the esport community is crazy.
