Yeah I’m a bit tired of bought out politicians dismantling a country from the inside.

Probably the biggest loophole that HAS to be fixed!

Eh, it’s over a billion people. Most people (who don’t live in cities) don’t know about Trump other than the fact that he’s the president. Even those who have internet aren’t going to see US news cuz their feeds aren’t curated for that.

Also WhatsApp logs a bunch of metadata (who you contact, how often, profile pic, etc)

Trouble is when you need to keep replacing your beater bike…

I just wish cycle theft wasn’t as prevalent as it is. If journalists can track down the shipping of stolen cycles, cops should be able to stop it.

Hopefully the respective country’s embassy and place of work (outside of work, study I don’t see why anyone would want to go to that hellscape) can step in. Like check in with your significant other post landing when you’re waiting at immigration checkpoint. And if you’re not heard from after that, alarm bells should go off and embassies should be informed.

Buy a burner phone. Use a newly created email. Don’t install any of your socials (not even lemmy).

Use only Signal (with messages auto deleted after being read) to be in touch with the really close friends and family.

Don’t bring your personal laptop.

If it’s a longish stay you may install socials a few days after completing immigration. But don’t use fingerprint or Face ID in that case.

Spinning off AOSP into something like Mozilla would massively boost its appeal. I myself left android cuz of privacy issues (no I can’t use GrapheneOS, I need access to my banking apps).

Exactly, even minus the Nazi thing they are terrible products. And they’ve been terrible for a while. The only good things were the first mover advantage, battery tech and supercharger network.

Meanwhile the competitors like BYD have caught up.

Trump’s America has long crossed the Rubicon. He will continue to only double down, as any dictator does.

America and the world (except for the Neo Axis powers) will continue to suffer. Unless by some miracle democracy still functions in US.
