Good point! I fixed the sentence.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 18 hours ago:
I think it’s time to make a serious push into getting people to boycott Microsoft along with OpenAI. Windows is becoming a bloated surveillance operating system and Office 365 is raising their prices and adding an AI feature based on OpenAI’s LLMs. OpenAI donated $25 million to Trump.

Russia tried to invade Ukraine and that’s why we have the war. Russia is being imperialistic and Ukraine wants to preserve their country and not live under a Putin dictatorship.
The EU is preparing and strengthening themselves in response to Russia’s aggression. The end result is that they are more resilient and stronger against threats.
By standing up to Russia’s aggressions they are showing the world that they will not tolerate military invasions into another country. Meanwhile Trump threatening to annex other countries is giving a green light to dictators like Putin and Xi Jingping to invade other countries.

THERE IT IS AGAIN! “ANTISEPTIC”! It’s a psychic trigger word implanted by the globalist pedophile vampires to short-circuit your brain before you can expose the truth about their dual-citizenship space bank on Mars! They’re not just cleaning the information, they’re sterilizing your soul with fluoride-laced chemtrails so you’ll be too docile to notice the lizard people running the Federal Reserve and using your Social Security number to power their gay frog-transmuting weather machines! IT’S ALL CONNECTED!
/s again of course.

Oh, you don’t mean “antiseptic,” you mean “antisemitic,” and let me tell you, that Freudian slip is the key to the whole thing! They’re not just cleaning the wound of truth, they’re cauterizing it with their globalist mind lasers! This isn’t a mistake; it’s a coded message from the deep state, a subconscious cry for help as their brain-waves are being scrambled by the 5G towers they’re using to turn the frogs gay and control the weather! It’s all a plot by the interdimensional goblin bankers who live inside the hollow Earth, and they’re using these Hollywood CEOs as their puppets to distract you while they replace your drinking water with nanobots that make you crave avocado toast and obey their every command! WAKE UP BEFORE THEY TURN YOU INTO A SOY-BASED CYBORG DRONE!
Huge /s of course.

BoJackHorseman, I think you’re getting brainwashed by “X”/Twitter. Maybe you should consider taking a break from social media then when you come back please read this article: bbc.com/…/20240509-the-sift-strategy-a-four-step-…

And the fact he linked to “X” is just icing on the cake. We can see what app is rotting his brain.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 day ago:
Take the first steps. Here are things you can do right now:
- Stop using Microsoft Office especially stop using Office 365 and switch to Libreoffice.
- Stop using Windows and switch to Linux.
- Stop using Reddit and switch to Lemmy (for other people, not you since you’re already here)
- Cancel your OpenAI/ChatGPT/Copilot subscriptions if you have those.
- Most importantly stop using Twitter if you use that and urge everyone else to do likewise. Bluesky I really like but it’s technically based in the US too but rewarding non-rightwing companies is like positive reinforcement. I haven’t seen enough people talk about using both the carrot and the stick. There’s also Mastodon which is great but some people feel it’s more for “techy” type people.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 day ago:
Right! I’m shocked anyone would want that. I just told someone else it’s like leaving an abusive partner for an even more abusive partner. I’ve noticed countries being pushed towards China after the US went even more crazy after Trump winning. I believe they are making a mistake. Japan, South Korea and Taiwan could fulfill most of the same needs as China does and do so better. Just as a random example Japanese capacitors are known for their high quality. Japan and China both supply capacitors. Why not bolster Japan’s instead of China’s?

You want more global support for China and Russia?
That’s like leaving an abusive partner and going to an even more abusive partner.
We need to support stable and ethical countries like EU countries.

VGA meant to say that China would replace the US if they acted better. VGA is not blaming China for the US.
However I will assign a little blame to China for Trump because TikTok helped get Trump elected. I strongly suspect that there was a backroom deal between TikTok/China and Trump prior to the 2024 election.
This article is the most damning: theinformation.com/…/how-tiktok-courted-conservat… (archive/non-paywall: archive.is/TUjo9)
The top leaders pushed through content moderation changes that made TikTok more accepting of some conservative views on the fairness of elections or transgender rights, including by updating policies on banned content or enforcing them differently.
I hate the way they worded that. What they really mean is allowing the big lie (false claims the 2020 election was rigged) and transphobia.
See: theverge.com/…/trump-tiktok-ban-maga-influencers (archive link: archive.is/DMOLf)
MAGA influencers also view TikTok as a relatively reliable platform to publish pro-Trump content without fear that their accounts will get demonetized, restricted, or worse, deactivated.
Also see: foxnews.com/…/maga-republicans-defend-tiktok-cons… (archive link: archive.is/RGBC8)
“Trump won the election because he listened to first-time voters like myself and joined TikTok to get his message to us directly,” RNC Youth Advisory Council Chair Brilyn Hollyhand told Fox News Digital of the impending ban.

President Donald Trump “pleaded” with China’s Xi Jinping during a 2019 summit to help his reelection prospects, according to a scathing new book by former Trump adviser John Bolton that accuses the president of being driven by political calculations when making national security decisions.

There are exceptions to the rule for example Rush Limbaugh and maybe Scott Adams.

Then what would?
- Comment on X's Generative AI Image Edit Tool Ignites Backlash — Users Fear Image Misuse 1 week ago:
We need aggressive action against this. Urge every politician you can to make media literacy taught in school. Students must learn how to identify disinformation and propaganda.
- Comment on X's Generative AI Image Edit Tool Ignites Backlash — Users Fear Image Misuse 1 week ago:
Data shows it’s working. Maybe not enough to bring Twitter down right now but hopefully it can die a death of a thousand cuts.
bskycheck.com/stats.php. Bluesky was averaging roughly 20000 new years per day. Now we see over 56000 new users on December 23 and over 89000 on December 24.
I’ve been seeing some people say the only reason they’re on Twitter is because they follow some artists who are only on Twitter.
The thing to keep in mind is that not everyone is as informed as we are about Twitter’s Nazi problem. Some people may just follow their favorite artists and celebrities and just drown out all the political stuff and not realize that by using Twitter they are helping enrich and sustain a person and a platform that radicalize people and spread Nazi propaganda.

GrapheneOS also has an official Bluesky account. Here’s a link to the same post except you don’t need to visit that nazi-bar website and don’t need to login: bsky.app/profile/grapheneos.org/…/3m6fm6vseik27
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 2 weeks ago:
Everyone needs to be boycotting TikTok hard. Bring more people to Lemmy, Bluesky, Mastodon, PeerTube and other more ethical alternatives.
- Comment on TikTok allegedly monitoring users’ Grindr activity, digital rights group claims 2 weeks ago:
Soon this data will be collected by far-right oligarchs like Larry Ellison through Oracle. We really need a huge push to urge everyone to stop using TikTok.
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 2 weeks ago:
Windows 11 is a bloated disaster. I urge everyone to switch to Linux or one of the BSDs.
Also switch away from Microsoft Office and use LibreOffice.
- Comment on It will trickle down any second now 3 weeks ago:
Vote out every single Republican or whatever right-wing/far-right party you have in your country. Shift the Overton window each time a seat gets flipped.
- Comment on Meta shuts down global accounts linked to abortion advice and queer content 3 weeks ago:
Well then, time to shut down your Meta account if you still have one. Also do likewise for TikTok and Twitter.

Thank you so much for clarifying! Yes, now I understand it’s a powerful thought like they can’t stop me because I live in Sweden, I will keep protesting.
It reminds me of how many countries boycotted South Africa which helped end apartheid.
- Comment on The richest people in the world are morally bankrupt 4 weeks ago:
You got to vote and be active in politics and encourage as many people to do likewise. If more people did that the sum of our power would be far greater than the power of billionaires. We can then have reforms like regulating campaign contributions and lobbying and passing more regulations that protect the people.
For some countries there are things working against us. For example in the US billionaires have a lot of power and contribute heavily to politics in part due to the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. FEC which opened the floodgates for unlimited political spending and has really harmed our country. My solution to this is to encourage people to boycott companies that donate heavily to Republicans and most importantly encourage people to vote for people who will help stop all the corruption.
- Comment on The richest people in the world are morally bankrupt 4 weeks ago:
Bill Gates was ruthless during the 90s. Just as a random example he tried to make ACPI only work with Windows saying “It seems unfortunate if we do this work and get our partners to do the work and the result is that Linux works great without having to do the work” just as a random example.
