I am becoming convinced I should migrate my private mail to another service hosted within the EU. But my god do I not want to deal with migrating mail.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Itโ€™s a process.

You just create a new address (or point your existing one to the new provider) and slowly migrate

I degoogled my crap 5-6 years ago and I still have a handful of sites sending mail to my @gmail address because they donโ€™t allow changing your address at all ๐Ÿ˜†

You will never avoid Coke. Just admit your impending failure.

I'll just buy using temu or AliExpress. European brands are too expensive in my third world country

Americans probably should have boycotted American products back when Europe put consumer data safeguards in and the US government refused to. Our food safety, our work life, our online data, our health care-- all driven by profit motive in the US but protected as rights in Europe.

Libertarian ideas are quite popular in the US; we are waiting for the invisible hand of the market to save us. Learned helplessness at its best.

These brands all still follow all those rules when they operate in Europe, they just don't bother on the other side. Like we get snicker bars and whatever, but they're just slightly healthier or at least don't contain stuff that's actively bad for you, but they're still shit if that's all you eat. The usual example is Fanta where the difference is really stark.

The buy Canadian Facebook group if you Facebook is full of great alternatives. Yes Facebook sucks the rigid cock of Satan, but it is very useful.

I think if you quit you'll find you're fine without it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

It's hard because all my old Livejournal friends are on there.

You make facebook sound a lot cooler than it actually is.

Why don't we(lemmy) get to suck the rigid cock of Satan? This is metal as fuck.

streaming: the right side, most of those are country specific.
