Really emphasizing to the world that the US is run by bunch of idiots

Get yourself and your friends on Matrix with Element or any other GUI program for Matrix. You’re on Lemmy, try out Matrix

The more users on Linux, the more commercial software will target it. Can already get Davinci Resolve and Autodesk Maya. Drive traffic to see more

US government really displaying that they’re a front for corporate interests. An arms and marketing division for US corporate lobbyist

That looks delicious

And X will continue declining in popularity along with Tesla. More competitiors need to spring up against starlink so anyone on that including the government can dump that piece of shit

Would 100% force the US to fold. The loss of influence of American tech and banking software would cripple America further and without negative sentiment from much of the American populace. Anger directed towards Trump and Republicans

GIMP 3, Krita, Darktable, Inkscape, Kdenlive

I’ve never put any money in this game. I remember I feel like a decade+ ago they had that ship hanger demo that was the only thing available at the time. I think I installed that. Whatever. If people fund this game and it ends up solid someday I’ll enjoy it

Switch to Linux. Don’t use Microsoft email. If possible don’t use MS Office and if you currently need it, encourage Libreoffice, OnlyOffice, etc

Trump tariffs and he can’t afford more shit held against him. Bytedance is going to come out of this doing well

I’d consider it. If they host things outside of the US/start moving operations overseas, it’d be a lot more interesting. I sub to Proton for email, VPN, and drive support. Still hoping someday for proper Linux drive support so Mozilla/Thunderbird can target that

Pretty much. Everyone else will be able to trade with the east and southeast Asian countries business as usual. Maybe even more now that the US is making themselves less price competitive. The bad thing for the EU could be the drop in sales to the US not being replaced fast enough outside of the US leading to squeezing existing customers for more cash or possibly some businesses failing

All these weirdo billionaires building bunkers

Realistically, I would probably try a google free Android long before I’d try a more pure linux phone

Eventually I’ll try one. I feel like it can be like desktop Linux where it take a very many many long years until it starts to chip away at single digit values of market share

I’d be more than happy with 1GB/s drives for storage. I’d be happy with SATA3 SSD speeds. I’d be happy if they were still sized like a 2.5" drive. USB4 ports go up to 80Gb/s. I’d be happy with an external drive bay with each slot doing 1 GB/s

I’m sure there are data science/center people that can appreciate this. For me all I’m thinking is how hot it runs and how much I wish soon 20TB SSDs would be priced like HDDs

I’d say try Linux. Ubuntu or Fedora and you’ll realize how much of your computer usage is based out a web browser and it doesn’t matter whether you have a Linux, Mac, or Windows computer

Email you’ll be stuck with some corporate entity that won’t be 100% open source. Running an email server and your emails not being filtered is a pain. I use Proton applications for email, VPN, and Dropbox type service. They have a calendar but hard to beat google calendar

Signal for pretty much texting. I actually have around a dozen people I primarily message through Signal so it’s viable for me

Matrix/Element for something like discord.

Onlyoffice, Libreoffice, or WPS Office instead of MS Office. WPS may not be open source

Browser use Firefox or Firefox forks

Krita, Darktable, GIMP for image editing

KeepassXC for my desktop password manager and whatever is available on Android

Maps you can use Organic Maps

Video editing i use kdenlive

Android TV at least you can do simple custom launchers. I’m still hoping a more normal Linux becomes popular for TV. Hoping maybe SteamOS will be the pathway for that
