Oh shit, wouldn't this be grounds for asking for asylum?

Ssris is not something you want to rip away from people.

This is going to be a mistake that ends in violence.

I hope people boycott Google and Apple phones this year. Hail Korean Phones.

Even though sadly google still underneath it all like a stalker. :(

Im really excited to see mainstream games patching for Linux. :)

This is so true. I read online and see how panicked and angry people are at us in the states. It breaks my heart. But I just read and listen instead of respond lately.

I notice how much our apps are made to make us angry or sad. All to prey on people to buy things to make them feel better.

But when I hang out with my family who all voted Kamala or friends, or just being kind to strangers in real life -- Its just a whole new vibe of hope that we will get through this.

Im trying more and more to get outside my bubble and be more social. It feels like a great way to protest tech oligarchs.

Yeah that's a great point. Soon as I saw the companies at the Inauguration I deleted social media platforms owned by them and switched to DuckDuckGo/Firefox. Ive been on Linux Mint for some time.

Protesting with our wallets and going against the whole consumerism culture of these oligarchs is definitely the way to go. :)

I honestly don't think these one off protests will force any change personally. They are a start to network and I think we should shift protests to be places to centralize people to a method of communication.

But the only thing that would force the hand of change is a general strike for weeks/months like Georgia is doing.

One decentralized protest organizer is starting a method of collecting sign ups to organize such a protest. Im not sure who the original organizer is but id rather give trust that something will come of it.

Personally, I think I will see if I can be more involved in my local state politics and volunteering. Might see if I can run for local office or if that is feasible.

I roll my eyes every time another "poll" declares something. They dont know anything.

Did they ever make a mobile app for Loops for Android? Couldn't find it.
