Visa ban for European critics of online harm is first shot in US free speech war Legislation that seeks to curb harmful content is viewed as a threat to Silicon Valley by many Maga politicians

Why would any sane person that isn't already stuck in the US want to go to the US, though?

What the hell: The US accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday, storming a beach and planting DoD “restricted area” signs claiming the land for “the commander,” and triggered a standoff with armed Mexican security forces, all because Trump’s government can’t even identify a border on a map. 🧵 1/

Nobody, and I emphasize, nobody should go to the US. If you're games industry, I promise you that there are better events everywhere else.

Nothing good comes from Americans/Westerners meddling in the global south! They've seeded the chaos from the start, and have started the next phase now of controlling/policing their own people's mind and bodies... Who are you to liberate us when you're shackled to a supremacist view of the world?

For the past couple months, I’ve been slowing trying to replace the services I use with alternatives that are not based in the United States or heavily tied to it. I won’t lie: it’s not always an easy process. There are some services that have plenty of alternatives, but others where drawing back from those offered by US companies means retreating from communities that don’t exist elsewhere or have far less functionality. And that’s not even to get into how many non-US services are still hosted on servers owned by Amazon, Microsoft, or Google. Being a purist isn’t possible, but what’s important is making the effort. If we can reduce the customer base for the dominant players and show there’s a market for a different way of approaching digital technology, that could help incentivize more non-US options and even get governments to put real resources behind a push for digital sovereignty.

Getting off US tech isn’t always an easy feat, and I don’t think it’s useful to be a purist. US tech is everywhere and it’s very hard to fully extricate oneself, which is why governments need to step in.

But I still think there’s value in making the effort.

Getting off US tech: a guide I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Wow look like something pulled out from 1984 or black mirror

Ozzy Osbourne died? What were his views on Palestine? Abysmal pro-genocide pro-Zionist support? Ok then.

🚨 U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL PAM BONDI PLACES MEXICO ON HER LIST OF ENEMIES

And she places us alongside Russia, China, and Iran, which I think is fabulous to be on the right side of history.

Mexico demands respect...

It IS being photoshopped, just at a camera level. Looks like its some kind of human shape segmentation, AI rescaling and background blurring.

I would be more concerned about using country flags to represent languages than ral world borders, and games using them have a political theme anyways.
