    Hopefully within Europe we do not succumb to such obvious or overt bribery.

      Unfortunately right wing voters are fucking hateful and stupid though. Tickle their racism and they will flock in droves to vote for obvious grifters paid by oligarchs.

    I really hate US-bigtec. I’m boycotting 99,9% (surely missed some spots) but it frustrates to see that so few people understand and care. Or at least half of it.

      People are far to focused on themselves nowadays. I think social media is a cause of it.

        Aye. That and probably the lack of time (late stage capi) for reflection or forming of own opinions.

        It is, yes. For me not so much. Phone’s a damn pixel6pro that does not want to die. With Grapheneos. Bought it when it came out, as all other vendors did close up so badly. Next one surely will be some Linux one. I don’t care for many features. But why throw away if it still works fine. I’m too cheapskate for that. Google is blocked globally at home, same with all other US-bigtec. And yes, half the web is dead to me and I really really mourn the web of yesteryear. Even google before they ditched “don’t be evil”.

        I am using the Jolla Phone with Sailfish OS, works for me as daily driver, even fully natively so far, but that is certainly not for everyone.
