  • US Tech Visa Applications Are Being Put Through the Wringer

    Jump

  • Everything is relative. I live in Vietnam where tech people make a tiny fraction of what they could make in the US and quality of life would be significantly better despite the risk of dealing with ICE and other barriers.

  • Mastodon has taken the strategic decision not to accept venture capital investments for growth, but rather restructure to a European non-profit organization

    Jump

  • Sure! I think a lot of people would be interested here.

  • I want to enjoy Mastodon so much, but I just never see that much discussion. It just feels empty.

  • I read the post like you at first, but I don’t think he works on the fediverse. I think it was just a poor/unclear sequence of clauses in his post.

  • AfD is the most popular party in Germany for the first time, with a record 26%

  • Can someone explain how powerful a party can be in Germany with a plurality but without a majority?

  • Mullvad DNS profiles

    Jump

  • I use base. Super straightforward and works perfectly with the rest of my set up. I also use Mullvad VPN (when I need one) and Leta (when I just need a simple search and not for images). Rarely use the browser.

  • Trump says he wants to give money and airplane tickets to immigrants who 'self-deport'

    Jump

  • This. Tbh if Biden rolled out this program, I’d probably say it was distasteful, but fine as it’s voluntary. At least it allows individuals to make choices for themselves.

    That said, ICE is already kidnapping individuals at their citizenship interview appointments. I hope no one tries it. It’ll probably end up a Trojan Horse.

  • How to lock down your phone if you’re traveling to the U.S.

  • Laws and policies are different. The Trump administration takes much more extremist views towards laws on the books making their internal policies much worse (in most cases).

  • Printable brochures - https://boycott-flyer.eu/

    Jump

  • Admirable but there are a couple things to consider. Take fashion for example. Yes, H&M and Zara are European owned but (I’m assuming) near zero of their production is done in Europe, and instead in poor/developing countries. In my opinion, it sort of defeats the point. As an American, I’d love to support European brands that keep their production local.

  • [Potentially weekly thread] What European shows or movies have you watched this week?

  • Rewatching 1983 from Poland and the timing is perfect.

  • Has anyone switched to Jolla C2 / SailfishOS?

  • Do you know how Graphene helps to protect privacy in case someone takes it to make a copy (ie TSA)? I’m an American living outside the US and I don’t have anything to hide (while at the same time respecting my own right to free speech and privacy) but it freaked me out when I learned morning that US immigration can make a copy of your personal phone if you don’t allow them to view your social media accounts. I’m interested in moving over from iOS to Graphene this year.

  • Seems like too little too late. There are other, more established privacy-oriented platforms in more privacy-respecting countries.

  • Poll: AOC leads Schumer in head-to-head New York primary matchup by double digits

    Jump

  • It was always Pelosi calling the shots (for better or worse). Schumer was always there as a fundraiser.

  • Trump tells UK to buy chlorinated chicken from US if it wants tariff relief

    Jump

  • As an American... don't cave. Boycott US products even if your countries give in. Otherwise we'll never learn our lesson.

  • TIL About the Smoot-Hawley Act, Which was the 20% Across the Board Tariff That Deepened the Great Depression and Resulted in the Largest Senate Seat Loss in History

  • Even Fox viewers can't hide from their credit card balance. At least I hope that's the case.

  • As an American living abroad, I support this message. I’ve already moved over 90% of my SaaS subs to Euro alternatives. Hardware will take a while. Other day to day stuff has been quite easy.
