If the people you subscribe to are not ones who monetization is important you may want to consider reaching out to them and asking if they’d consider cross posting to PeerTube or another YouTube alternative. They may appreciate not putting all their eggs in one basket and reaching new potential fans.

If Republicans want to play that game Democrats should hold hearings on Trump’s mental fitness. He’s the one who’s actually in office and the one who clearly has cognitive decline.

I hope they crush SpaceX one day.

This is posted on NY Post a website owned by Rupert Murdoch the same person who owns Fox News. It uses a misleading headline saying “car crash injuries” which actually means a similar type of injury you’d get in a car crash but most people would read it thinking that a car crash was somehow involved in the story despite there not being cars anywhere in the story.

Here’s a more reputable source for the same story: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-63649144

I just prepared another company to add to my boycott list.

MTG is brainwashed by RT, tin foil hat conspiracy theories and memes from random people. Basically Fox News and NY Post are not crazy enough for her.

Registered Democrats in NYC: you have the chance to make a difference right now! Vote early now or show up June 24 for the NYC mayor primary. Fully fill out your ballot with five ranked choices. Exclude sexual abuser Cuomo from your ballot because even if you put him last it could in theory help him.

Keep boycotting all of Musk’s companies until he’s bankrupt and behind bars. Boycott Tesla and boycott Twitter. Remember to tell your friends that Tesla cars are unsafe because of their electric locks that can trap people in the cars in an accident and have build quality issues.

Why pay money to a company who wants to destroy you? No government should give a dime to Peter Thiel’s Palantir. Thiel is an evil sociopath who may have murdered his boyfriend. He also wants to basically abolish government. A government giving money to Palantir is like a snake eating its own tail.

Screw those people and screw Rogan and Spotify itself for not only allowing Andrew Tate’s hate, but also Rogan’s disinformation and recently allowing Bannon back on to Spotify.

I urge everyone to contact Spotify or cancel your subscription and when you cancel be very sure to fill out the reason why you canceled.

There are companies which offer training and support to FOSS. Companies could also pay those companies.

I sometimes wonder what if everyone who spends money on licensing fees instead takes the same amount of money and puts it into FOSS. Imagine what we could achieve? Likely the money would be used more efficiently because they could donate it to non-profit companies which don’t need to pay tax.

You did something today: you helped remind me of him, with so much chaos he slipped my mind.

If you’re feeling frustrated by lack of power to do anything what you can do to help is chip away Trump’s pillars of support. Have you ever played Jenga? If you pull out enough blocks the tower will eventually fall. The biggest blocks holding up Trump are the billionaire wealthy donors and the right-wing propaganda machine.

Twitter is an example of both right-wing propaganda machine and owned by the biggest political donor to the GOP and one that we all can easily make a difference in by personally stop using it if you have an account and urging your friends and family to also stop using Twitter. Then try contacting organizations with an account and ask them to switch to Bluesky. And of course boycott Tesla and boycott Starlink too. If you like buying stocks maybe invest in SpaceX’s competitors.

For billionaire donors you can boycott their companies for example Uline is another big donor. We can make a difference. I see them as a good boycott target due to their reputation of being overpriced. Whenever you buy something online look at the box and labels. Do you see the words Uline on it? If so contact the vendor and tell them that Uline is overpriced and unethical, they can save money by switching to another supplier. This post shows someone about cut their costs in half by switching away from Uline: https://bsky.app/profile/geneha.com/post/3low65f4zac2d and https://refuseuline.com/ has a long list of alternatives.

Another big donor is the fossil fuel industry. I recently made a post about what you can do about that.

Good! Bring it down to 100% and also bring down Twitter usage to similar levels! Build fiber to rural areas so they won’t need Starlink or if you currently use Starlink see if fixed wireless is possible, maybe with a parabolic antenna on your roof or on an antenna tower you could get a signal. Keep boycotting Elon Musk until he’s bankrupt.

His political contributions are really on brand. He funded election deniers in 2022.

Also I’ve heard Oracle has a bad reputation when it comes to government contracts, very expensive poor quality software ripping off our taxpayers. I think they ought to be blacklisted or at-least require extra review due to their reputation. CUNY paid Oracle over $600 million and look at what that got them: https://pscbc.blogspot.com/2013/03/cuny-first-computer-system-to-aid.html. To be fair the article does claim that “The project required an expenditure of up to a billion dollars to do it right. CUNY Central offered far less. All but one of the bidders dropped out as a result”. I’m confused why it needs to be so expensive, even $600 million seems like way too much.

There’s going to be huge protests on June 14. I believe protests are just one component. I think what people should be doing is trying to beat the pillars of support that are holding Trump up. For example boycotting his top donors, educating people on things like media literacy and trying to reach people who are not informed on what’s going on. Getting his poll numbers way down especially among Republicans would have a big impact on stopping him.

That’s a huge shame. I wonder if the issue is the articles about what’s happening with Trump are in English and not making it to Portugal.

I’m sorry but I disagree, I think we can make it through. It’s not going to be easy but if we unite and fight together we can stop this madness. If we split up it’s going to screw all the Democrats and normal people who are stuck living in red states for reasons such as can’t afford to move.

But Google’s guidance was also telling us that recovery was possible if we just “removed” our “unhelpful” on-page content:

This is very chilling because it means websites will delete content. If the internet archive didn’t grab it in time it means knowledge is gone forever. An algorithm is not going to always be accurate in determining what is helpful.

For those people they should all contact the government agencies that are still on Twitter and demand they switch to Bluesky.
