For Amazon the best replacement would be Bol.com if you’re in the Benelux. If not, shop locally (except for malls).

chav, unfortunately

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, but only for bigger cooperations.

As in, extinguish them. Make it far more attractive to not be at a big soulless corpo.

Some people don’t realise it immediately, though. What would you say for that one?

Good move of Nepal to ban Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Whatsapp, VK, WeChat, Threads, as well as Facebook, LinkedIn, Facebook Messenger, Pinterest, and Discord.

That said, Mastodon and Signal also being included, is dumb. What Nepal could do better, is that upon visiting one of the banned sites, users are advised to download another, decentralised medium.

So, what you’re saying, is that one would have to use an e-sim rather than physical sim? To avoid a zero-day exploit? I find that hard to believe.

That’s fucking scary. Trump, Thiel, and every single fascist ally of him needs to get a treatment of eternal sleep.

Everyone’s*.

When Trump does something, the rest of the world experiences the antisocial oligarch pedo’s ruffles.

Hold up, accessing Signal?

Thiel is scum and needs to pass away for his crimes instigating a fascist police state.

The workers, 100%.

The difference between even a millionnaire and a billionnaire is one billion.

It’s such a large gap that in my view, no one really could claim to be a “temporarily embarassed billionnaire”. Nobody is; there are only workers and there are oligarches.

So, in other words, corruption.

I think what would help, is a way to directly donate using eg. Monero or cash.

Ooo, a GrapheneOS phone would be awesome.

The irony is that all what the conservatives do “against the woke elite”, is actually very elitist.

Conservatives care about one thing only - to grift and grind people into dust, and steal their deal.

Remember when someone posted Musk’s (public) flight data? When Musk said anything could be public?

And then Musk removed the flight data.

Rules for thee but not for me. They’re bloody hypocrites.

Based and privacypilled

It is wrong, because if you have the “choice” to, they almost certainly will be put up as a preset. And it enables your privacy to be compromised. Think of it like this: instead of having less choice by not having an option to connect to Microsoft/Google/etc., you get more liberty, privacy, and that gives you more choice to say what you want. Remember the Github dev who got blocked by Microsoft for his criticism? Exactly. It can happen to you too. And that’s not something that will just happen to high profile people, but everyone, unless if we stand against it.

For-profit is not a silly thing to object to. When the software has profit as motive, they gain an incentive to still snoop on data and sell it.

And that is exactly why privacy is necessary for all. Oligarchs love privacy (except for others), so they can hide their tax avoidance, and steal people’s hard work.

All who are not oligarchs, be they communist/socialist, christian democrat, liberal, or whatever else, would stand to benefit from privacy. And it is precisely for that reason that you calling out it as communist makes no sense.

most of those fall under wealth bootlickers :3

hate groups? benefit the oligarch by dividing people, and directly suppress normal people that struggle for mankind’s benefit.

terrorist organisations? the definition of ‘terrorist’ is someone other than the state who commits violence to sow fear. And if the fear is in the rich, are the terrorists then the problem? The definition is iffy.

organised crime? are people who organise lgbt readings in russia, organised crime? i think this definition is too vague.

drug cartels? yes, if they’re drugs that don’t help people’s lives, and commit violence against innocent people. They then benefit the oligarch who plays out people against each other.

human traffickers? if they profit off it, use violence, and don’t have the goal of helping refugees find a safe home from state violence – then they benefit the oligarch, cus they profit.

rapists and serial offenders? yes, these benefit the oligarchs, literally just look at Trump and Epstein.

Release the Unaltered Epstein Files, Trump

cult leaders? Yes, they work to subject people to leadership. Fuck that; liberation is no hierarchy! No gods, no masters. Organised religions work together with oligarchs to subjugate people.

oligarchs and kleptocrats (the ‘corrupt’ can be left out since it’s synonymous); the root of all evil. These only ever seek profit, profit, profit. They will not stop until the last person has been coerced into the killer machine of capitalism. Once the last capitalist and authoritarianist is dead, the world shall be liberated.

military juntas and death squads? (rogue, again, here is synonymous) These also benefit oligarchs by making it easier to manipulate a people, through just a few leaders. And these kill people at random for fear, making them actual terrorists, as opposed to people who kill the rich.

Wouldn’t LibreOffice be a better option for replacing Google Docs?
