I support all the Trump-bashing in the world, but let's not allow crappy big businesses to just blame everything on him. McDonald's has a responsibility and they haven't lived up to it. Blaming Trump for consumers not choosing your overpriced, shitty product is not reasonable.

I think a feeling of distrust and betrayal will definitely remain for decades no matter what happens in USA. Many boycotters etc will definitely continue doing that for at least some products and on a state level we'll never again be able to trust them with our data. That much is clear. At least I switched out all my tech and never going back

Here in Denmark - one of the US's closest allies for decades with a generally positive public opinion - America's reputation has absolutely tanked. Being at all supportive of USA basically reveals you as a stupid far-right nut. We just need our politicians to see this as well because the US reputation is fully dead here.

Not really, no. Today the aversion to it has been imported, but not 15 years ago. Of course when you use it in English you know it's a significantly worse word but you also don't have the cultural bagage to know entirely what it entails. From what I gather, Felix has improved upon his ways in many ways and isn't much of an "edgelord" anymore.

Make a couple extra for me. Gonna enjoy life and then forever leave this wretched place

I agree with that assessment!

Not in this case, to be fair. The only concern is cost - since Wiki wouldn't be opposed to them getting their actual data - and AI mazes are designed to safeguard more sensitive data, not reducing cost

The integration for the apps like digital ID don't work at all

Ehh, stuff definitely be happening. People also never thought that Russia would flat out invade Ukraine

Most likely. But when the biggest military power in the world directly threatens you, you'd be stupid not to take precautions.

I don't have any hard set-in-stone viewpoints either, to be fair. I feel like I have a set of core beliefs values, but otherwise I'm fairly impressioniable and feel differently depending on the specific topic. I never understood people who just label themselves by a specific ideology and then just base everything off of that.

I gotta say I feel a great deal of sympathy with what Luigi stands for though. Murder may be despicable, but if the common people don't stand up against the unfair system no one will - and I certainly feel no sympathy for the victim. Especially in this Trumpian era of tech-fascists trying to turn all of humanity into slaves.

However, I do agree with your take. The news are designed for shock value and quick consumption. It's not a meaningful pursuit - and I've personally spent too much energy on Trump.. although it's hard not to since I'm Danish and he wants to invade us..

Sometimes every 2 or 3 months. Seemed like a reasonable time frame!

I'm so sad it doesn't seem to work with my country's digital solutions or I would've switched right away :(

I mean, to be fair, when I was younger my viewpoints changed as often as I changed my underwear

Hardly sad, obviously, but I'm sure Orange and co can use it for their propaganda..

Deezer is a very ethically poor company, unfortunately, due to their owner, Access Industries.

I mean, Spotify is a publicly traded Swedish company.. but it is worth noting that Qobuz is French and that the original creators still seem to retain both control and ownership

In that case I'd argue you can look at it from a different perspective: nothing bad is forever. Even brands - and people - directly complicit in genocide can change for the better, and before that; seemingly regular people can be driven to commit mad atrocities. This is a very important lesson today especially, as we are repeating history

So, if the Volkswagen Group car brands all dissolved and the people in charge created a new company that'd be just fine? Why would we boycott a company for what happened 80 years ago? We can just build a wall around Germany then.

What exactly is problematic? The past has happened and it cannot be changed; how you deal with it is the only question, and the Germans in particular have dealt with it admirably. It only matters what they do with they're given. Nothing is static, especially not a company which is just a reflection of their owners and employees.

Would it make you or anyone happier if we drove in Skodas rather than Volkswagens?

Unless it's the same people in charge of the company as it was in 1941 then it doesn't matter. Everyone knows that many German companies have a terrible past, but they've long since taken a clear stance against it. There is literally no correlation between these German car brands and Tesla. It matters what they do today (and possibly the recent past).

If you want to boycott things over the distant past you literally couldn't use anything.

Tesla deserves this because of Elon's current actions. If he steps or gets removed and Tesla continues to operate with a different philosophy there should be no issue with them in, say, 15 years.
