Do it. Please. The people need more negative press about the US. It hasn’t reach enough people in the EU yet.

Arabic heritage and in the US? I’d be concerned about getting a free trip to El Salvador. My butt would be clenched during any border crossing- which includes flying in or out of the country.

At this point, unless you’re ready to fight for your right to exist as a person in the Trumpian USA, moving out seems like a better option.

But this is said as somebody living in Europe. Maybe the US is actually great and you’ll be fine.

France? Don’t they hate Arabs? I’m assuming OP looks a bit Arabic due to their heritage. They would find a larger Arabic community, but if they have an Arabic sounding name, finding a job and housing, especially as a foreigner, might be difficult.

It’s an mbin instance. The admin made it login only because of AI bots that scrape the website.

Welcome to ProtonMail, a Trump supporting service. He can’t catch a break, can he?

So we need consumer complaints too. Pressure has to come from the public. If you see something wrong with a product or company, monopolistic behavior, send in a report to the consumer protection agency of your country.

I don’t know if they can sue them, but I hope they can get other companies to join. Fighting google in court is a monumental undertaking for a company. But if they can get the EU consumer protection to sue for them, that would be amazing too.

Something about investing in bitcoin back in 2012.

Pricks, quite simply. They know it’s wrong, but they don’t care. Society is filled with people like these and you can guess who they vote for.

Next time, film them, it seems like the only way people understand. No need to upload it to social media, just share it with the police and they’ll get the fine.

Amerkar. I like that

Proton? Isn’t this the company that praised Trump and the fediverse lost its collective mind for a news-cycle?

Please hit us with tariffs. Pwetty please mista twump! I need my family to take Buy European seriously!

Yes! It’s a great Google Apps alternative. What’s missing is public transport schedules.

There’s a General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) which is an open data standard for transit passenger information. It was developed in the US, but maybe it could be used in the EU too if it doesn’t have a European alternative? We could all email or @ the public transport companies of our areas and ask them to publish these. Or even @ the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu here and on other social media.

Public money, public data, public code.

Edit: holy shit, GTFS was developed by Google! It might be how public transit systems world wide are publishing to Google! We should tell our public transit systems to make that data open to everybody, not just google!

I’m not saying it “like” anything. I’m stating that they are not escaping anything but moving from problem to future problem.

Isn’t email easy to use? Do people know that it’s federated? Probably not, but it’s easy to understand because they have been exposed to it for so long that it’s natural to them without knowing how it works. Why do you assume the same cannot happen for the fediverse? It’s basically social media built on top of email.

The major mistake people make is trying to explain technical stuff to people who don’t give a fuck. “Look at your email account, it’s YOURNAME@WEBSITE, well, that’s the same for lemmy and mastodon, pick a website you like, create an account, and that’s it”. Everyone knows what a website is, everyone knows what email is, everyone knows (but probably hasn’t realised) that they can send emails to SOMEBODYELSE@OTHERWEBSITE, that’s it.

Yep. That’s exactly why I’m saying it’s centralised.

We will return Fortnite to the US iOS App Store next week.

Epic puts forth a peace proposal: If Apple extends the court’s friction-free, Apple-tax-free framework worldwide, we’ll return Fortnite to the App Store worldwide and drop current and future litigation on the topic.

What does this mean?

Imagine using Adobe. Being bled dry.

Because Bluesky is centralised. You went from one serial killer’s house to another. You don’t know which serial killer owns your new house, but you’re hoping they’ll be nicer than the previous one. But at least their house is nearly as nice as the old serial killer’s house.

Ayyy, gotta have that monaaaay!

Let me guess, they’re moving to Bluesky?
