"Why are you so mad" I'm having a casual conversation on a social media platform lol.

I didn't vote in the US presidential election because I'm neither a citizen nor resident, and I'm also banned from entering your borders anyway lol. But sure I'm responsible for your fascism. Sorry for telling you to do effective things instead of checks notes sending pointless messages to underpaid Apple employees assigned to read customer complaints, who will have been told by their bosses to disregard these messages. My bad, don't do any political activity, just complain to corpos instead.
Now where the hell did I say "do nothing". Hilarious that liberals' idea of "doing something" is "put a comment into Apple complaints that they can easily not even look at".
You're shouting into the void. Stop trying to beg the ruling class to not oppress you and get organised. They will not give up power voluntarily.
VPS in order to go offshore due to being a political organiser/having state interest in me. If my domestic state was not interested in me I would use a home lab though; it'd wind up cheaper in the long run I reckon, better performance as it's bare metal (though my VPS is KVM so performance hit is negligible), and better control since you both own and have physical access to the server. For most people's purposes I'm sure an old laptop or a raspberry pi would work fine so you don't need to splash out either. I probably wouldn't suggest a VPS unless you have the same threat model as me (ie likely to get raided & server seized, or likely to have active monitoring of your internet activity via ISP); I don't really think it's worth the money long term. Or I guess if you do just have general privacy concerns you could rent a VPS in a country known for decent privacy, but just for peace of mind reasons instead of a tangible threat to you.
Edit: Also depends on what you use the server for. If you want it to not be linked to your real identity you'd probably want a VPS, otherwise every time someone emails you they find out the IP address of your home network.
It's not migrating my emails I need, it's forwarding new emails sent to my old address. I mostly use duck addresses these days so luckily I can just change the address ddg forwards to in future, but prior to starting to use ddg's email service I'd have a ton of services I need to change the email address for. Proton offers this service but I'd have to pay a subscription for it, and obviously I need it indefinitely if some service sends me an email eg 5 years down the line. Of course emails sent to an old email 5 years later are probably not important but it's just convenient to not have to log into Protonmail to check if I've got any mail sent to my old address.
It is a bit nuts how hard it is to switch email accounts. Although conveniently I believe gmail has a forwarding feature. Protonmail unfortunately doesn't in its free tier (I recently switched from protonmail to self-hosted postfix/dovecot), and paying for a protonmail subscription just to forward my emails to a different email seems to defeat the point of paying for an email service.
That's huge amounts of money in most parts of the world. Westerners don't realise just how much more their currency is worth.
You can install any app on GOS. You can use sandboxed google play to use the gplay store as normal, or Aurora Store if you just want gplay apps but not services.
In the US maybe, but there's been plenty of antifa activity in eg Europe due to the sharp rise of the far-right. Antifa show up whenever there's fascist demos to counter them.
Also, I thought Neofetch just always interpreted River as Sway, but I've now seen people's Neofetch screenshots saying River. How do I get Neofetch to tell I'm using River not Sway?
