Regardless of which service it is, it shouldn't be selected on national lines (this "Buy European"/"Use European" crutch is reactionary nationalist bs), but rather on pragmatic terms: F/LOSS. Because even European services and legislation don't have your best interests in mind:
oh.. yeah okay I completely fell for it 🤦♂️.... Honestly to me, the line between sarcasm/memeposts and realposts nowadays are so thin, to the point of making me dense as fuck..
Epresso machines. washing machines, fridges, freezers, TV’s, who the fuck connects that shit to the internet.
TVs make sense.. other appliances, not so much. Your energy is best spent on companies for peddling IoT into things that don't need the "I" in IoT.
I’ve decided I am going to de-auth the espresso machine for a few days, so they cant have coffee before work.
That has got to be the worst way to teach privacy to common people. What this will end up doing is just turn you from a smug know-it-all to a smug script kiddie asshole, and as for the recipient, they'd just end up getting their "faulty" appliance replaced at most.
Does it kill you to just raise awareness about privacy in a less intrusive way or what? If that's a bougie you're disrupting then forget anything I said, otherwise this is silly as hell.
edit: I can't tell what's real or what's a meme anymore..
Yeah they do.. As much as I'd want to cast my feelings about that aside (I have a lot), I don't think I can muster a coherent thought about it without my blood boiling in the process...
From what little I know and from my understanding, it's a goal that, once attained, would (hopefully) eventually change. The reality is that Palestinian resistance groups are not only facing against the Euroanglo-Zionazi entity, but also against compradors like the PA, against US MIC and NATO. My best guess here is that they're keeping their goals grounded in terms of what is realistically achievable, relative to their material conditions..
Someone who knows better could probably tell you more than I could, though..
See that's where the Liberal Zionism spin comes in, Liberal Zionism suggests that land claims to Palestine by Euroanglo-Zionazi are steadfast and not impeded, current and future settler-colonialists are welcomed while advocating for Western style "democracy", "human rights", "equal rights" and other Western lib horseshit for both Palestinians and Euroanglo-Zionazis.
Both in theory and practice, it's a completely contradictory "ideology" that only serves to justify settler-colonialism where Palestinians obviously get the short end of the stick, if they get to get any at all.
Suggesting that progressive politics should be implemented to a settler-colonial entity that he already agrees should exist won't change the fact that it is a settler-colonial entity occupying indigenous land rightfully belonging to Palestinians in full. No amount of "equal rights" will change that, only resistance by the occupied will. This isn't the smart move we think it is, it's just obvious Liberal Zionism wordvomit from Mamdani to appeal to his audience whom are, at the very least, Liberal Zionists.
Liberal Zionism is still Zionism and so is the two-state solution proposed by the West, no matter how you put it. This is still clear-as-day support for a Euroanglo-Zionazi state. Please don't fall for prophetic entryism.
For Palestinians, to be subjected to almost a century of Lebensraum from Europeans and now recently others from other Western nations and then be told "Hey! Maybe we should live together in harmony with rainbows and sunshine to share!" is degrading beyond comprehension. Adding "with equal rights" means jack squat.
Not a single inch for Euroanglo-Zionazis. They know exactly where they come from.
This is the extent of "care" and "camaraderie" (scary red term for them) that bougies will give to their dead lib friends, knowing that eventually they'll be replaced. Not surprising, nor should it be.
Libs would actually be like "what did she think was gonna happen? Clearly she didn't think this through". That's how they usually roll when it comes to any form of protests that go against capital..
have been through something similar. What helped for me is to try to figure out your threat profile first.. Because jumping straight into total lockdown mode on everything and frantically uninstalling anything that so much has any ties with GAFAM not only doesn't actually help, it can take a toll on your mental health..
It's also sometimes a good idea to "blend in" and have a few undesirable software (that don't do tracking), just a thought.
If that doesn't help, and you're sure that your threat profile is clear as day, there's also the option of getting a secondary phone or laptop (if you can afford it) and install all the unwanted/non-FOSS software there.
Regardless of which service it is, it shouldn't be selected on national lines (this "Buy European"/"Use European" crutch is reactionary nationalist bs), but rather on pragmatic terms: F/LOSS. Because even European services and legislation don't have your best interests in mind:
Border-transcending, fully transparent and easily accessible and auditable F/LOSS software is what should be strived for.
