that's not exactly true. volunteers have archived most of the old government websites and public data.

i mean, it's not overthrowing the nazis, but frustrating historical revisionism is a start.

it's complicated. afaik asml has agreements with the us govt, and cross licensing with american companies. also, asml only makes lithography tools, there's a LOT more to making semiconductors than just exposing patterns. and a few of the biggest vendors like kla and amat are american. kla in particular is essentially a monopoly in the metrology space.

lol those are dram chips in the stock photo.

(more risc v investment away from the us is a good thing though!)

The valuation of the stock market is fake anyways. (ESPECIALLY bubble stocks like tsla) This sadly doesn't affect his lifestyle or the power he yields in any way.

i mean. wouldnt rebadging it and putting a "fuck elon" bumper sticker be more of a message than selling it to another sucker?

(also ripping out the spyware laden computer system that reports all activity INCLUDING CAMERAS back to hitlerHQ and can remotely disable your car)

signal is a good option for messaging. it is technically american, but i feel like FOSS projects should generally get a pass.

also, as an american who is very not okay with what our (russia's) government (puppet) is doing, wouldn't supporting non-american businesses mean paying the tariffs and supporting the oligarchs? i'm not really sure what us yanks can do besides just trying not to spend ANY money.

Frankly, both are good options. Valve has done so much for linux gaming, and CDPR has done a lot for game preservation and DRM-free gaming. I've bought plenty of games from both.

as always dns is the weak link in internet infrastructure. if they can takedown piracy domains they can take down anything.

I mean it's easier and vastly more compatible than it was even a couple years ago thanks to the proton devs.

Statistically, so are most north american humans.

Adding in yt-dlp. Not a platform but a useful tool to download youtube videos for archival or redistribution.

I think we should just ignore anything that comes out of this admin to the greatest extent practical. Don't give them legitimacy.
