  • Dis ain’t even a shower thought bro, icl I’d rather leave politics out of some communities, but 100% I agree. So many people looked past his politics and js looked at his skin colour instead. America’s a 2-party illegitimate oligarchical corrupt shithole anyways, a fake democracy ruled by 2 parties with largely the same interests at heart. A land in which both communists and fascists manage to coexist, 2 of the most cancerous groups of people to ever exist.

    He committed and covered up hundreds of war crimes in the Middle East and other countries, declared Linux users terrorists, Snowden, Assange etc. like with Trump the list is too long.






  • Regardless of what you or anyone has on your phone that is, in any context dystopian and authoritarian asf, there’s already been cases of people being detained by US border authorities for anything anti-govt. found on their devices. It’s like Trump read 1984 and thought it was an instruction manual.

    Worst part is he’s disguising himself as a libertarian and someone who’s pro free-speech, when his ideas of libertarianism only extend to his govt. and cronies and his ideas of freedom of speech extend to his own views and his own supporters. He’s using the guise of being censored himself to censor literally anyone who opposes him.

    On another note, for those who don’t care abt using free software, or don’t care about privacy cuz they have “nothing to hide”. Think about how much power the US govt. has over data collecting corps. like Microsoft, Google and apple, now think abt how much power a man like Trump can give himself over the US govt. How much control do u rlly have over your own devices? If there’s no way to truly, freely express yourself without govt. interference then there is no democracy.



  • I agree with all the Linux comments but another thing you could do is use FOSS self-hostable front-ends to those proprietary services like invidious and newpipe (android) for youtube, redlib for reddit, nitter for twitter etc. You don’t have to host them yourself, there’s already plenty of people hosting their own instances.

    Aside from removing ads which you can already do with an adblocker (which takes 1 revenue stream away from them) it lets you browse privately without any data collection which would be sold to advertisers (taking away their 2nd revenue stream) plus it frees you from the clutches of the algorithm, it helped stopping my ADHD from leaving me 2 binge yt vids for hours on end.
