Do you think people are buying it, though?

I've never seen so much cynicism against all things controlled media as I see today.

They control the final product, so the answer is yes

Were you using it with their custom OS, or did you try to install something else like Linux Mint?

bought with my own money and has crackling audio due to hardware not software issues. Works fine through an audio interface but the speakers sound like ass.

If its any consolidation my HP Envy, which is a normal consumer laptop that comes with windows, had that same crackling noise if I hold it at a weird angle.

I should have sent it back as well, but frankly that's just the state of the market RN. Companies don't give a f, even large ones.

I understand we are sliding in that direction. My point is, once there, its harder to keep that regime alive.

How many people are okay with what Israel is doing? Or Russia? Or (now) the US? Despite the propaganda and censoring all over the internet, not many. Most people aren't buying it.

Ah, the threatened oligarchy is at it again. I'm sure its purely a coincidence and not at all a retaliation for people abandoning big tech en masse.

to say otherwise is either ignorance, stupidity, or malice

Why not all three?

This is basically it. It is just harder to run a fascist oligarchy these days. People are way too connected and are sympathetic to other people from other countries. The propaganda can only go so far.

I understand that, my point is the size of the salary has nothing to do with your capacity to protest, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do it over here.

I can assure you we are not leaving our jobs just to protest, and also a majority of people love paycheck to paycheck. You need to find the time and organize.

You guys earn way more than us, but we still find ways to protest more often.

It really is about finding ways, its never gonna be a convenient thing you do on a sunny afternoon...

I see. I'm glad to hear it.

Just remember you're not alone. Canada, Australia, and Europe are actively boycotting the US economy as much as possible.

We're with you. ✊

You guys should be out on the streets protesting en masse. Being complacent is the same as showing you're okay with all of these.

Meanwhile actual americans are being pulled into unmarked vans for looking latino.

Ah gotcha. Strabic me completely misunderstood your comment lol.

Its not just you lol. Its not very well written.

Yeah, that's a big one. Have you considered Here Wego? Its european and integrates TripAdvisor reviews (yes, US I know. Still better than feeding Google Imo). It doesn't have everything but for restaurants and POIs it usually has the info you need if you live in a bigger city.

Should be illegal.

Oh, understood. Dumb me, lol.

So, aren't there security risks associated with using Betterbird?

I'm not going to engage with that bait.

Aren't you concerned that the development is in the hands of just one guy?
