It's probably too late already but Americans need to rise up en masse to displace dictator Trump and everything to goes with him.
There's no other way.
Peaceful protests are not going to do anything. There will not be a (meaningful) next time to vote.
This will get a lot of people killed.

I think a lot of nerds on here a going to have to take a hit to their convenience and start evaluating alternative mobile OSs as daily drivers instead of crying about iOS and Google's Android.
I'm interested to hear your results!
To displace Apple and Google these kind of changes need grassroots support for those alternative platforms to get better (and to get funding) so they need a lot more users and developers.
We've done this before (Microsoft, Internet Explorer) and can do it again!
(I've been using #SailfishOS since 2013 and #GrapheneOS for years.
Happy to help with questions.)

2025-08-25 20:07:16 UTC

With Google locking down Android are there any viable mobile OSs, not based on Android, usable as a daily driver besides #SailfishOS?
I haven't used any of the other mobile Linux OSs besides #Sxmo for a short while.
And "viable" is of course very subjective but minimally one should be able to make and receive calls without any issues, SMS, mobile data up to 5G amd VoLTE, run a Signal client and browser.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the EU should reserve some serious money, fork Mozilla and make regulations that governmental websites need to work on their fork (and Big Tech gatekeeper websites as well).
This is one of the items to stay independent from Google's, Apple's and the US's whims.

There was an interview with a white farmer woman in a swing state on Dutch television two days ago and her argument for voting Trump was "the US needs a strong leader".
Two things:
1) If you ever utter "strong leader" in relation to upcoming elections, your voting rights should be taken away immediately.
2) You want a strong leader and choose Trump... what?! The man is a bully and everything what a good leader should not be.
