Boycott US

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.

What are you replacing google maps with? I've been getting more and more annoyed with it for a while.

It keeps wanting me to do U turns on ultra busy roads when I could just make a left turn at a light.

For fuckin years the foss community has told us to stop using these products. It only took them all turning into literally fascist for people to finally stop giving them power

It only took them turning facist? We‘re not even remotely close to not giving them power in the corporate world. :/

To the point of replacing Visa/Mastercard: it would be great if the EU could continue in line of SEPA and create an EU payment processor. Now, I want to be very clear, it should be owned by the member states' governments, and profit (if any) should go into the EU budget. No neoliberal bullshit of "oh we're going to put out a contract/give out loans for anyone to set up a payment processor and the market will decide". It should be a state owned payment processor, to finally stop the likes of Mastercard, Visa, etc. from leeching off every single consumer transaction in the economy.

No. It is never the answer.

we need an AOSP fork like Forgejo is to Github. Accept good changes, maybe share patches, but keep a fork that ROM devs can build upon.
