The US is losing power for sure, but not slower than it’s allies. Europe can’t just plug and play the US immediately, but they have considerably less problems than Americans.

And just to be clear: I’m not advocating for a US boycott. Just less cooperation than today.

Agreed. At least send the link shared to Twitter then, if there’s any. A screenshot is better than nothing.

Our right is to not purchase the products that require us to give access to our data.

You can’t hear how that sounds? Congratulations, you are allowed to NOT buy something.

You’re not even told when they steal your data, because there’s not even a rule for that either.

What rights do you have in Europe that we don’t have in the US?

Easy. Privacy.

Right to our data. Freedom to choose an App Store, search engine etc for our phones. Geo-locking is illegal for our digital services. We could continue?

Yeah for sure, but the US has taken a sharp turn to the right in the last 4 years, and especially the last 6 months.

Some countries in the EU might also vote more right, but nothing compared to the States.

The whole world is not moving right in the same way as the US right now.

In Europe we get more rights, and in the US you loose your right to abortion entirely.

The US is now trying to take Panama, Canada and Greenland, which sounds alot like dictatorships like Russia and China.

So no, no one else in the western world is moving towards that. But I’m sure both Musk and Zuckerberg want you to see it that way on their platforms.

I know gaming has gotten better, but I still run into trouble. It “just works” on Windows.

I know this sub, and basically most of Lemmy, are pro Linux. But honestly? It’s not as good as Windows and macos for everyday folk. We are kidding ourselves.

It CAN do anything they can, but it’s way too hard, and you might have to code your own drivers for some of it.

You pay for it to just work, and that’s why I 100% get why you pay for an OS.

Note: I don’t think anyone feel like they even pay for their OS, if it’s not enterprise. It’s preinstalled, nobody thinks further than that.

The man is old af. 8 years is too long either way.

We already met it.

It said that Taiwan was a part of One China, and it even used the phrase “we” when discussing it, as it agreed with the CCP policy.

This is a 100% noob question, I know.

But can someone who used Lineage and Graphene say why they prefer the one they do?

I’m standing between choosing one.

Well, yeah, but he’s made it a big part of his campaign. In reality somebody should make a list of ALL promises they make, and then see who’s trustworthy.

Somebody should make a website that tracks prices on goods and other items from the day Trump becomes president and throughout his term.

He said he would lower prices. His politics says the opposite. Let’s see.

I think that one is universal

Probably not, but it might be worse in terms of brutality against police.

This time there will be massive security at place in critical locations. So probably no invasion of government buildings, but it might end worse in terms of violence.

Both red and blue are right wing compared to the rest of the western world.

None of them are good, but one is plain evil, and is not even hiding it anymore.

Fair point now, but it’s most likely that in 50 years, you wouldn’t trust a human to do the work.

I don’t think I gave my opinion on any of the things in my description. He’s making philanthropist videos no matter if you like it or not.

I was just stating facts, because all the other comments about him where mostly wrong or only sentence like “he’s a YouTuber.”

Lol, not it person. But the other comments dosent even know who he is on YouTube.

Alright, I’ll give you the only non-grumpy answer here apparently, from someone who actually knows him.

His name is Jimmy. He loves YouTube, and want to make the best videos possible.

He lived with his mom and brother in his childhood. No mention of a father. He played a little baseball, and besides that he really just wanted to make video content. The family was not rich.

His first brand deal he got, he received 10.000 dollars from a sponsor. He gave it all away to someone and filmed it, gaining another brand deal that then got better and better because he gained more viewers.

The concept today for almost all of his videos is “game show”. Which means you almost always have a chance to win money. Sometimes he also just gave it random on the street.

He also is a part of Team Trees and Save the Ocean, doing some environmental work in his videos.

Now, Jimmy aka MrBeast has a philanthropy channel, where he hired two individuals to go and give money away around the world to poor villages in 3rd world countries.

He also sells chocolate from sustainable cocoa farms, that is also gentle to the stomach (Jimmy has a stomach disease, don’t remember the name).

So yeah, that’s MrBeast. He uses all his time and money on videos, and he himself live in a little bunker close to the film studio. He owns almost nothing for himself, but he does own the biggest YouTube brand there is.

Hope it helped.
