I'LL MAKE THE SACRIFICE
I've been avoiding #megacorp brands so I'm happy to find such guides :)

Those fucking #Cyberfascists are working hard to become the American Version of #IGfarben meets #Stasi!
The difference is that #Karp and #Palantir have yet to proudly proclaim they want to help #genocide people!
People: "Ugh! Evil corporations!"
Also people: Spends all their time and money enriching and empowering said corporations.

Nope. Doesn't matter how good the technical capabilities. Just another #bigtech #megacorp cloud streaming service waiting for its time to enshittify.

welp, the person emailed #Facebook & the account was restored a few days ago – no idea if the email was the reason, no response or even contact from Fb, no apology, no explanation of what imaginary transgression tripped their “immediate ban-hammer” response… 😡🤬 (#POSIWID 💁♀️)
…and the person still hasn’t had access to a connected account for their hobby stuff restored yet 😕
continued evidence that moving your #SocialMedia presence away from #MegaCorp platforms is the only sane choice – yes, it’s difficult. yes, the network effects are a bitch. but still. (obviously I’m preaching to the choir here on masto 🤪)
Damage to American small (and medium) businesses. Not the megacorps.
The dude with the mall kiosk selling phone cases and chargers? He's getting reamed by this, and will likely go out of business, because he brings all his stock in from China in small shipments that have always fallen under the de minimis exemption (which is now toast). He can't compete with having to pay five times as much for shipping and tariffs all of a sudden.
The independent phone-and-laptop repair place? He and his 3 techs are probably twiddling their thumbs a lot soon. Most of the parts they buy to fix your broken screen or charge port come in just like the mall kiosk dude's. A replacement screen that used to cost him $30 plus $5 shipping now suddenly costs $30 plus $15 tariffs plus $20 shipping-and-tariff-collection-and-remittance-and-brokerage-clearance charges. He'll have to double what he charges to replace that screen in your Samsung.
Amazon? Walmart? Best Buy? All the other corporate behemoths? They're not importing in dribs and drabs by post. It won't affect them much at all, except they'll probably increase prices a bit to cover the extra paperwork to clear their shipments at the border, plus a lot more to cover the tariffs.
(Yes, you already knew this. I just wanted to say it.)

Welp, here it is. If anyone wants managed #Nextcloud #hosting, we'll spin-up some ready-made instances for you to get running. Collabora and Talk included.
We do #onprem server builds for local clients in #Malaysia #Singapore . But I figure there may be increased demand for smaller teams (and smaller budgets) around the world wanting to move away from US #bigtech #megacorp platforms.

Asking people to be literate in order to enjoy the benefits of literacy is "elitist" and tyrannical.
If only people put a fraction of the energy they spend on defending stupidity to better use, they would have been educated by now.
@timpritlove As expected by me, also #YouTube #comments are written by a tiny minority if this survey is meaningful of some sort. That is a common pattern.
I also don't think that more people should interact on platforms like that: https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/
Go, learn how to set up your own #blog and what #POSSE, #PESOS, #RSS and #Atom stand for. 😉

Eine:n Indieentwickler:in mit ein paar Euro zusätzlich unterstützen? Gerne. Eine Multimilliarden #Megacorp mit noch mehr Geld unterstützen, wenn man schon 50 € oder noch deutlich mehr für ein unfertiges Spiel gezahlt hat und mit #Microtransactions zugeschmissen wird? Fuck no!
