I mean when I first came across it (which was linked from a mass text advertisement from Truth Social in January), this is the quote that stood out to me:

Developing American First investment vehicles is another step toward our goal of creating a robust ecosystem through which American patriots can protect themselves from the ever-present threat of cancellation, censorship, debanking, and privacy violations committed by Big Tech and woke corporations.”

Notably the word “ecosystem”.

I saw this a while ago and wonder if it’s related at all

No they’re telling people to be non-violent and to wave the American flag and not the Mexican flag

I use Fedora Asahi Remix currently, and I want to switch to NixOS but am uncertain about the MacBook support, and even if it was good switching would take longer than it’s worth unless my current installation stops working for whatever reason

You should tell Germany to stop arresting and banning people who post anti-genocide stuff on social media

For documents I started learning Typst and LaTeX a while ago and now I greatly prefer either of them over LibreOffice. Being able to write comments that don’t render in the PDF is also very useful (i.e. when I do my homework in LaTeX/Typst I’ll put class notes there as well)

Not too long ago I would have agreed with you. But at some point, I realized I grew up in the same environment they did, surrounded almost entirely by Republican Christian nationalist propaganda, and I saw past it by listening to the people it was targeting. They might be brainwashed, but they can still choose to listen to other people also, but they don’t, so their ignorance is their own fault.

I used to never close tabs and they would accumulate as I kept doing more web searches and other activities. Now when I need to do stuff I usually open a new window instead for different tasks and if I need to free up RAM then I start closing other windows for tasks I’m not doing anymore so it closes all of the related tabs at the same time

the 50501.chat lemmy instance also blocks lemmy.ml users which is not suspicious at all

Center right? You’re giving them too much credit

Insurances don’t like paying people, if Cybertrucks become expensive to insure then they’ll charge more to Cybertruck owners

There’s a lot of fake versions, the real one is on Telegram and YouTube

Good thing InstaFlow exists

While AI offers transformative potential, significant criticisms highlight its drawbacks. Current systems often perpetuate biases embedded in training data, leading to discriminatory outcomes in hiring, law enforcement, and lending. The environmental cost of training large models—like massive energy consumption and carbon emissions—raises sustainability concerns. Automation driven by AI threatens job displacement, exacerbating economic inequality, while opaque “black-box” algorithms undermine accountability in critical domains like healthcare or criminal justice. Privacy erosion, through pervasive surveillance and data exploitation, further fuels distrust. Though AI’s capabilities are impressive, its unchecked deployment risks deepening societal inequities and prioritizing efficiency over ethical considerations.

Nowadays with Apple, the bigger issue is the ARM Linux ecosystem being neglected in terms of support rather than the hardware compatibility (that is for M1/M2). The hardware for the most part works except for USB-HDMI and fingerprint (which didn’t work on my HP laptop either).

I hope California succeeds at seceding

They should tariff Israel a lot more

Maybe, but threatening your customers who are buying your exported goods doesn’t seem like a good strategy, and US-based corporations already dominate in the US, so it’s not like they’re helping the US become more powerful unless they’re preparing for WW3.

Domestically, this is what will happen, but those corporations are also multinationals and get a large amount of money from doing business outside the US. What Trump is doing with the sort of threats he’s making to US allies is causing their reputation to plummet abroad along with their revenue. This can only go so far before competitors from EU and China take their spot and they lose all international relevance. Additionally, the tariffs will put them at a disadvantage in the global market compared to corporations outside the US which is further contributing to their loss in revenue. So if Trump’s main interest was in helping those corporations, I doubt he would be doing this.
