It’s 50+ countries in a trenchcoat. Pan-Americanism, in the US context, is laughable at best and absolutely a shambling nightmare at worst. There’s several reasons why our government sucks. But the sheer size of this fucking empire is the top of the list.
Before the end of the century, it’s going to Balkanize hard.
Having to explain how you ended up in a death camp in El Salvador when you came to visit legally as a tourist.
I don’t have the fluency to detect vulnerabilities or memory leaks. I wish I did, and I’m trying to learn. Being self-taught is hard work.
But I can read bug reports and get the hint. And I check upstream sources to make sure projects are still under active development. Even occasional maintenance is better than nothing.
Red Flag laws are used to remove guns from Trans, Latino, and Black people in red states too. It’s not the solution to gun violence that people think it is. It was a good idea, but it ends up falling to paradox of the false positive and even being weaponized against minorities more often than not. It violates due process as well.

Your coworkers would be safer with stock. Or Lineage. Or literally anything else.
GOS team are some elitist jerks, sure, but what they make works well. And I respect the fuck out of Calyx for being committed to making something like MicroG work.
GOS or Calyx, either is gonna be miles better than /e/. /e/ is running their ‘native IP scrambler’ on a two-year old commit of TOR. Fuck everything about that.
$150 for a refurb Unlocked Pixel 6 from eBay. That’s both cheaper, more ecologically friendly, and better for your privacy than /e/ can ever hope for.
Came here literally to comment this. Hooooly fuck, I would not trust /e/ as far as I can throw a Fairphone. Good thing they’re compostable, becauze that’s the only up they have on a Graphene flash.
Until I can take a basic actionable step to ensuring my information is safe like LOCKING MY BOOTLOADER… I am good over here.
This is true. While I appreciate Al Jazeera’s coverage of Gaza, at the end of the day, they’re a mouthpiece for an autocracy. And their primary media contrast is, well, other mouthpieces for other autocracies.
I hate watching the news. It’s terrorist empires and wannabe empires having pissing contests with each other.
