And we all thought Hitler was nuts. This is a whole new level of unhinged and dangerous.

I'm in the EU. I was anti-piracy in the past. It took Trump's threats to our territory for me to stop paying any streaming services and actively engage in piracy. Now the money goes to the seedbox hosts outside the US instead of disney or netflix. I also started using ad-blocker for youtube instead of paying. I don't think this is fair towards the content creators but i just can't bring myself to give the US companies any money unless i absolutely have to. I will keep doing this until the US changes its laws/constitution to disallow someone like Trump from threatening their allies, oh and plus until they apologise and promise not to do it again.
Not only will i not give them money, i will aim to cause them economical harm.

Yes.

I mean it’s great if the NATO members spend equally to their abilities, but specifically Trump wanted to get his buddies from the military industry complex to benefit, that’s why he kept bringing it up constantly, to the detriment of the alliance.

Oh no, this is not what the US had in mind when the military industry lobby pushed the US government to strong arm Europe into spending more on defense.

A break from google, using google phones ?
Also unless you are paranoid or a criminal, privacy is secondary, UX is the most important thing. That’s why desktop linux adoption is what it is.

Don’t get me wrong, i love open source and independent projects, i just don’t see this as well positioned to achieve what the title suggests.
