Oh really? Great - show us all the new fantastic trades we’ll be getting to make everything cheaper “day 1” err… any day now!

Other countries will pay for it!

LOL! Remember when conservatives were blocking Tesla chargers with their lifted trucks? The vast majority of conservatives who can afford EVs don’t want them anyway because it doesn’t make “vroom, vroom” sounds.

I’m all set, but I do want what’s fair for everyone.

You need money first

I want it back + interest.

I jumped off Amazon and am now using Target. Target tried, but took so much backlash they took a step back.

Weren’t COVID rates fairly different based on party affiliation?

This site is an amazing start! Glad it exists right now.

Ok, how much time do you think one should have to remove their items in this situation?

To be fair you’d probably fit right into a large organization’s IT department.

Wow - that looks like a very solid option!! I’m very interested… this may be my next phone! Thank you so much!

Ah gotcha. I appreciate your insight - I’ll definitely be looking into this further.

Is there a reason to choose Graphene vs Lineage (or any others I may not know about)?

Groups I follow are on BlueSky – happy to check out Mastodon as well though.

Vast majority of my friends are communicating via Signal. So far the best option looks to be to use/install a version of android that cuts out the google stuff. F-droid for apps to avoid $ from play store while also avoiding $ from ads.

If enough people do this, it will certainly make a dent exactly where they don’t want it to. I may be wrong, but I do believe it’s possible to reach critical mass. With that said, it also helps my conscience at the same time. I won’t comment on the other part other than it’s already been figured out and demonstrated. Best I’m willing to do personally is voting with my wallet.

I’m using f-droid now. A quick search shows Google makes money via play store and having some of their apps as default (to sell ads) – so maybe that will still work for me. I’ll dig in further. Thank you!

Are there any that will allow me to still text with my friends and family on Signal?

Nailed it - I’ll consider a 3rd party vote on equal-footing once we have ranked/ranked choice voting in place. Right now, I think there’s a higher probability for one of the two parties to consider this so in other words… it’s going to be a while…
