Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

The alternatives to Intel/AMD/Nvidia, Visa/Mastercard/American Express/Discover and IOS/Android need to be more developed.
JCB is a japanese alternative to the American credit card payment processors.
It didn't participate in visa and MasterCard's collusion to boycott and bankrupt manga, anime and art sites.
I really wish JCB was in Canada. C’mon Japanese friends make a deal with Mark Carney to strengthen our economies together.
I don't know if I can give up FB again. I've deleted my account trice before but I've been unable to drive traffic to my yoga classes in any other way with much effectiveness. Even extensive postering lead to far fewer people coming relative to a few FB posts.
Reddit on the other hand has been useless and I've almost entirely given up on it.
You can have 2 platforms running side by side. Have Friendica be your main focus and then post all the bare essentials such as the event dates on the Facebook page. I know convincing the folks in our life can be difficult but they will eventually come to realize that big tech isn't all that great.
Windows is a hard change. I tried it before without success.
I tried it before without success.
Ditto. Took me three tries to give it up. But it finally stuck.
Now I'm annoyed when I do have to use Windows, because Windows is not as nice, or as configureable, or as fast, or as ad-free, or as straightforward to use as Linux.
Hell, I'm in the US and this sounds like a great idea. Tired of being tracked and monetized for every single thing I do.
The day my iPhone breakes is the day I am the grapheneOS user. Switched already the battery so might take another couple of years till the update support ends

I picked Apple to be the one tech company that gets to stick around for now. I canceled my Apple One bundle but there’s still a dependency on maps and mobile OS. Will only buy used and when necessary going forward. My phone is 2.5 years old and I think I will be able to get at least another 2.5 years out of it.
Apple isn’t as private as you think, they donated 1m to Trumps inauguration, the black representation is at 7% well below the 12.4% portion of the US demographics, their hardware is not very repairable, the manufacturer Foxconn that Apple uses has many cases of worker abuse, ios is very locked down.
Oh I know. I’m not a big fan. Struggling finding a google enough Apple/Google map alternative or a non iOS/Android alternative. Picked Apple as the better of the two evils but not giving them money anymore.
But what does any of this including repairs, have to do with privacy?
I mean it as a list of bullet points, I have reviewed all the Apple apps and they collect a lot of data.
