It's not even about sides. There is no left wing party in the USA - the Democrats are a right wing party. The problem with the GOP is not that they are right wing, it's that they are extremists. A lot of their "policies" are not policies, they are crimes against humanity. 'People who are demographic X shouldn't have the basic human right of Y" is not an opinion, a policy or justifiable in any way.
And boycotting people as Eich is first and foremost an act of self-preservation.
Eich is, evidently, a hateful cunt who invests into destroying the human rights of random people. By exposing your e-mail, bank accounts, your communications and your identity to him (by using his browser), you are inviting him to violate your rights as well.
By using Brave's shit, you giwe Eich money. Thot same money he later uses to fund the atrocities he and his peers commit. Thus, by using Brave's shit, you are not only complacent in these crimes, but actively participating.
Less relevant, but still, by using a Chromium-based browser, you help inflate Google's oppressive market share in the browser space, letting them push shit like Mv3 or WEI. If Brave actually cared about making a private and secure browser and fighting Google's monopoly, they'd base off Gecko or, better yet, build their own engine.
Supporting politicians you like and supporting basic human rights being taken away on the basis of completely arbitrary factors outside one's control are two very different things.
While your advice is sound, I think you might not have read @jrubal1462's comment in full. They already installed Linux, found FOSS alternatives for the proprietary dive software and their printer, to their shock, worked OOTB.
"Posts" and "content" are not the same. Most recent Reddit posts are not content. Few people left, but the ones that left were the content creators and moderators. Reddit, the platform, is dead, and Reddit, the social media, wears its skin.
Well, I'm by far not a fan of invasive policies either, but the CCP is constantly spying on its citizens anyway. No privacy and no phone-addicted youth sounds better than no privacy, period.
And to add to that, people that cause actual harm are usually money-loaded, surrounded by security and don't interact with the general public much, while random passers-by are, by definition, everywhere around you, so they are significantly easier to target.
On the first page, Mull browser search, Geometric Weather (location edited out) and Metro (a fork of RetroMusic player removing some Google libs).
The second page is taken up entirely by Telegram FOSS (stock client with proprietary dependencies purged) and FairEmail widgets, but I'm not showing y'all my chats :P
I usually don't have any apps on my homescreen, except the dock, and I use it as a dashboard while launching apps from the drawer.
People will still be completely able to read, carry and distribute the bible outside of schools. People will still be free to read the bible and pass it around in school, provided they bring their own copy.
This is just a ban on the school library keeping and lending copies of the bible.
(Though a general ban on the bible would certainly do the States some good.)
It's not even so much about F(L)OSS for me, it's mainly about privacy. Haven't contributed so far, but been using it through Organic Maps. OSM lacks no address in my town, and that's enough for me. I only need a map to get frow A to B, and I'd already know what's at B if I'm going there in the first place.
Sorry, but I'm a bit out of the loop, what is an EEE attack? When I look it up all I get is eastern equine encephalitis, which I somehow doubt is related.
