Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

The alternatives to Intel/AMD/Nvidia, Visa/Mastercard/American Express/Discover and IOS/Android need to be more developed.
Hell, I'm in the US and this sounds like a great idea. Tired of being tracked and monetized for every single thing I do.
I picked Apple to be the one tech company that gets to stick around for now. I canceled my Apple One bundle but there’s still a dependency on maps and mobile OS. Will only buy used and when necessary going forward. My phone is 2.5 years old and I think I will be able to get at least another 2.5 years out of it.
"will only buy used and when necessary going forward"
You didn't do that already?
Apple isn’t as private as you think, they donated 1m to Trumps inauguration, the black representation is at 7% well below the 12.4% portion of the US demographics, their hardware is not very repairable, the manufacturer Foxconn that Apple uses has many cases of worker abuse, ios is very locked down.
Windows is a hard change. I tried it before without success.
Give Bazzite a try, it's a complete different approach from traditional Linux. Instead of trying to make it easier to tinker with, they're trying to make it so you won't ever need to. Bazzite is focused on being a Linux for gamers, but it's pretty good for regular use too. Other options without the game focus are Bluefin and Aurora.
I've been using Linux for work for several years, but Bazzite was what finally made me go full Linux for everything just earlier this year.
