Also there’s more than enough quality content that exists already. This week I’m still happy watching Dr who or Star Trek from the 80s and 90s, Alfred Hitchcock films from the 60s and playing pc games from the 90s. There’s more than enough for me to chew through and time does the job of sorting the classic material from the forgettable dross for me.

Oh dear, poor USians, higher fuel prices… that’s just as bad as dropping your daughter off at school and then 5 minutes later hearing foreign planes just blew the whole place to shit… so much sympathy.

No sympathy, stop bombing other countries, hope they starve.

Where are you coming from here? Sure you don’t believe my brother in law eye witness the way I do, that’s fine but are you saying you don’t think Russian soldiers and missiles have killed hundreds of Ukrainian civilians during the invasion? And as you already said many civilians have fled abroad, my brother in law did have that option it was just plain foolishness that meant he tried to ride it out in Bucha before he was rescued by Ukrainian soldiers. And if I had been Putin and I wanted to safeguard the Russian speakers in Donbas then I would have given everyone of them a visa and an apartment in Russia, I assure you it would have been easier and several billion dollars cheaper than his invasion…

Nice work Iran. I hope one sinks a US navy ship.

I heard the details of the Bucha massacre first hand from a none Ukrainian relative who witnessed it first hand so I am as confident as I can possibly be with that one… I am also very much not in favour of bombing Iran or Gaza. I have a strict not in favour of murder or war whoever does it stance… the idea that any oppressed Russian could easily have popped across the border to Russia to be safe is just my own logic admittedly I have no good knowledge or what may or not have been occurring in eastern Ukraine before.

Good? Doesn’t everyone else hope that Iran gets a least a few devastating strikes in? They are the victim here.

Yes I don’t think that happened, if Russian people had been oppressed in Eastern Ukraine then they would have moved just several miles east into the open arms of Russia and been safe. They would hardly have stayed if they felt in danger. I do know someone who made the mistake of staying put in Bucha when the Russians arrived and saw them murder civilians in the street.

All your computers will not respond to command until an agreement is reached for total US control of Greenland… and Iceland. Farteched?

Maybe I would rent a cloud PC but not from a big US company or any USA based service or software company.

I’ve been boycotting all US products and services online and offline since Trump 2.0. Now I’m working on avoiding the most stubborn things like Mastercard and visa, but I’m getting there.

Just use Ghostery with never consent? I hardly ever see those things. Other extensions are available.

Fluffychat (matrix), Deltachat seem really good but good luck getting anyone to change. Let us know if you figure out a way to persuade people they should make any effort or try something new.

Guys if you haven’t already, I suggest doing what I did a few weeks ago and actually delete your Reddit account, not just stop using it. They need to see their registered account number plummet.

Mate, Linux is so simple my 70 year old dad can use it, I’m using opensuse (German) right now, but he is on Ubuntu (British) both are solid choices that a monkey could install and use.

I’ve been closing all my US based accounts recently. I was looking for a non US based Password manager service a couple of days ago. I used european-alternatives.eu and looked at a couple of options before settling on “Heylogin” it is so good I thought I had better recommend it to others… oh and I dumped chat GPT for chat.mistral.ai a couple of weeks ago, I recommend giving it a go.
