It's proof that it's not about the economy which would mean the door is always open to negotiate a better deal. It's not about drugs since Canada could be calling to say, "We've made X changes to reduce drug trade."

So that begs the question: what is this all about?

I agree there is a large subset of MAGA that are lost causes, however, I've seen a couple people around me change their minds on Trump: One was over the H1B (fear of job loss) and the other was over these recent tariffs (fear of paying more). Had to cause issues that could have direct impacts to them personally to change their minds, but there you have it.

Team AMD from now on!

71% drop in a single quarter is time for workers to start looking for other jobs bad. This was way before Elon's Nazi salute so expect things to get way worse. I'd be so embarrassed if I drove a Tesla.

Sounds like it's fair game because they improved on it. A lot. And this is only the version they threw back over the fence.

Is our princess in another castle?

What's wrong with Target? Only thing I heard was backlash from putting out certain kinds of lgbtq+ designs and then reacting by pulling those back (and getting backlash again for that).

I felt bad about it so I stopped using YouTube directly/with ads because of being part of Google and too closely tied to politics/current admin. Same with Amazon, Apple, Meta, and X. My wallet is the last voice I have at this point.

They could just be scared to release more details. Shoot I would be too. How would you do it if you had something big that you wanted to share with the world but were afraid of being put on some list or something worse? My guess would be VPN+Dark Web / Wikileaks (is there a dark web version?). Not sure if anything is full proof. I'm probably just be too weak and STFU unfortunately.

Wow - that looks like a very solid option!! I'm very interested... this may be my next phone! Thank you so much!

Ah gotcha. I appreciate your insight - I'll definitely be looking into this further.

Is there a reason to choose Graphene vs Lineage (or any others I may not know about)?

Groups I follow are on BlueSky -- happy to check out Mastodon as well though.

Vast majority of my friends are communicating via Signal. So far the best option looks to be to use/install a version of android that cuts out the google stuff. F-droid for apps to avoid $ from play store while also avoiding $ from ads.

If enough people do this, it will certainly make a dent exactly where they don't want it to. I may be wrong, but I do believe it's possible to reach critical mass. With that said, it also helps my conscience at the same time. I won't comment on the other part other than it's already been figured out and demonstrated. Best I'm willing to do personally is voting with my wallet.

I'm using f-droid now. A quick search shows Google makes money via play store and having some of their apps as default (to sell ads) -- so maybe that will still work for me. I'll dig in further. Thank you!

Are there any that will allow me to still text with my friends and family on Signal?

False! Everyone can unfollow. There's just a few more steps to delete your account. I was able to do it without issue.
