Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

So I have bad habits of doing in app purchases because I have a pihole that blocks the ads, so I cannot use the commercials to get power ups or whatever. I do not want to pay Apple for things so I needed to find a way to help me stop paying Apple for things. I wanted to originally fine the address to just block payments to apple from through my pihole, after reading things I found that this would probably block updates and all that and that is not a good thing. So I ended up blocking payments as if I were a freakin child on the devices, I guess I can still do it with the password maybe? Feels a little demeaning but I need to stop myself and making it harder for me to buy power ups or whatever is a good thing.

I also think there will be secrete DST charges, of greater then the 5% or whatever it is, added to in app purchases come the first. The big tech companies will not be happy that they have to pay a retro active sales tax.

Push for the Canadian government to force Apple to open up iOS to outside stores and consider switching to Graphene OS / Ubuntu Touch / Postmarket OS for your next phone.

I so want to switch my os and eventually my hardware, it is however difficult with my family mostly being on iOS.

Localsend also works on IOS for your Airdrop replacement and RCS is being developed for linux phones.

I am thinking more about FaceTime with my Grandmother, someone who is not going to be able to make the switch. RCS and airdrop are the least of my concerns.

You may be able to run Jami or Wire through waydroid though I haven’t tried it myself.

Is ubuntu touch actual usable and has "essential" apps (e.g. banking)?

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

I wouldn’t say UT has banking apps, gps and the cellular features yet as the project needs to be built up further.
