They put their OS in most prebuilt computers, which unlike Apple are mostly affordable for the average user, so it's what people are used to. Linux is a lot of DIY even with user-friendly distros, and I think the tech support they give isn't as trusted as Microsoft's.

I have been trying to get far from GAFAM but, due to how shit is already built around it, it's hard. I don't think I'll convince anyone to give up whatsapp at all, let alone Windows

Sure buddy, a guy was clogging car's exhausts in Germany pinning it on the Greens was being paid by Russians, and several cables in the nordic countries have been damaged in a way that points to Russia and/or its allies, but Russia is completely innocent /s

Lmao, they might not be powerful in military, but they sure know how to push propaganda and bad actors everywhere.

ofc they are smooth like actual roads, how are cars supposed to comfortably drive in rough, wrinkly roads? /s

No, but there aren't many people that could serve as scapegoats for messing with combustion cars as easily as them

If you like this idea, you might like the idea of putting salt on fuel (if you manage to get to the fuel tank); it makes the fuel filter fill qickly and choke, so no fuel passes to the engine, and it's way harder to solve than some cheap foam on the exhaust.

idk, I can't think of any use apart from "giving enviromentalists a bad image", except for it being a minor inconvenience. Salt in the fuel is way more inconvenient :)

Okay, we know that the US can't be trusted because it's political compass wil lalways be changing. So what now? We need to organize, but how? Volt Europa is pretty weak and several people I have met have expressed dislike for them, the EU is gonna be reactive instead of proactive towards threats as always, Elon is trying to buy out more parties in EU...

How to proceed? Anything to do that doesn't seem hopeless, like voting for paneuropean parties, or leaving US based platforms for EU based, less developed platforms (like Peertube instead of Youtube, or Matrix instead of Whatsapp?

I wish EU was stronger and both the EU and its citizens (and netizens) les reliant on external services (like youtube, reddit, whatsapp, discord, etc.), and I want to do something about it, but I feel completely lost and hopeless.
