#breaktheoligarchy — Public Fediverse posts

@chrisp GrapheneOS was one of the 1st i looked for. i couldn't find a vendor who sold phones w/ GOS other than ebay
& i was hoping to find a phone other than Google Pixel that it works on. trying to abide by my self-imposed #BreakTheOligarchy boycott😅
also, i'm old & new to Linux. as close to "out of the box" i can get, the better for me😁
Did you buy the phone & load GrapheneOS yourself, or did you buy it loaded? & if so, where? 💙

@ben

if there are any "decent" billionaires out there, they should be funding open-source (without requiring returns) in the fight against tech-bro oligarchs

#ACO - Anarcho-Capitalist Oligarchs
#BreakTheOligarchy

@CosmicTraveler

anyone know if it can be watched elsewhere on the internet?

i don't willingly give my money to fascists or their appeasers

#BreakTheOligarchy

@rozeboosje @eff

yes! exactly this💙💯
People who #Resist need to think more strategically about media

promote our own; grow our own

i used to see BTC repost his ex-twitter posts on bsky, like, Look what i said on that site where the conversations occur. i'll share it w/ you, too. 🤮

That is ass backwards! (honestly i don't think he read a single post trying to get him to stop. glad i'm here now)

let's promote the #Fediverse 💙
let's promote #Mastodon 💙
#BreakTheOligarchy ‼️

"I'm not political."

The statement of one unable to reconcile with themselves that they have become a fascist appeaser

@Jennifer

all the more reason to switch to #Loops 💙

why give our $, time, & data to the very #TechOligarchs who seek to destroy us?

@mastodonmigration @courtcan

ah. well that doesn't sound promising😞

i started pestering liberal media channels about if they were looking at #peertube as a backup, then when i tried to use it, it was a mess

i don't know where the line is between rolling out quickly vs having ones i's dotted & t's crossed

i'm hoping that as more people come to the fediverse, more $ will come, then more infrastructure & innovation will come

just not in an oligarchic way 😘💙 #BreakTheOligarchy

Hey people of #Mastodon & the #Fediverse

Is this an opportunity we can take advantage of to promote #Loops

Is anyone encouraging disenfranchised TikTok'rs to come to Loops?

The best way to promote it would be to bring big creators over. They'd have a chance to have input on improvements at the beta stage

& when we bring people to 1 platform in the Fediverse, we can connect them to all the others💙

@maniajack

oh good, i get to post this #meme again

i don't trust them at all anymore. i'm slowing eliminating #google from everything

#BreakTheOligarchy

@Timalane that is very helpful feedback. ty💙

i heard sailfish is easier bc it's more "out of the box" (w/ the paid version). what i read of graphene sounded way over my head😓

but one way or another, i'll get out of the oligarchy. i'm just hoping those who have gone before me can ease that transition💙

#BreakTheOligarchy

i am looking at things like#SailfishOS & #GrapheneOS & others to replace #Android. but honestly, most of what i read is over my head. i'll need to keep learning or just hire someone. i'd like to learn bc i understand it goes far beyond my phone's OS

i thought i was so advanced when i was learning pascal & fortran in the early '80s, but then i just let the tech companies start handling everything. i feel like i'm starting over. #opensource #breaktheoligarchy

even as i delete & replace apps, those are individual apps. i've replaced google's music & notes apps, but when i replaced google translate w/ #libretranslate, it went very badly

i've used #googletranslate from everything from conversations to reading menus all over the world

but my goal is #BreakTheOligarchy & remove google, ms, apple, et al, from my devices

but i'll first convert a backup phone w/ on #OSOS Open Source Operating System (is that a term?)

@rbreich well, you take a much gentler approach than i did. here's what i made for the occasion😁

When i posted it, i pointed out that people who #Resist should #boycott #amazon & all #fascists & appeasers all the time. Take what they care about most - $, and ensure they don't use our $ against us

#BreakTheOligarchy #Resistance

As I peruse our non-corporate social media and see the many solicitations to 𝘽𝙪𝙮! 𝘽𝙪𝙮! 𝘽𝙪𝙮!

I felt a gentle reminder was needed 😘

(and this #meme applies to 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴, but especially during #BlackFriday #CyberMonday )

Deprive the #fascist #appeasers of what they care about most - $
So don't give them $ to use against💙Us

#Mastodon #Boycott #WeDontBuyIt #Resist #NoAppeasement #BreakTheOligarchy

@georgetakei

ugh🤮 count on #CNBC to be worried about the profits of the #broligarchy while the economy tanks and people suffer. soulless ghouls

& i've never understood people who wait in line to buy the newest model phone. they think it makes them look cool. to me it makes them look like clueless suckers & easy marks

#CorporateMedia #Boycott #BreakTheOligarchy #Resist #CorpMedia

@VancouverSun @metro-vancouver-VancouverSun

if you 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘵 shop on Black Friday (and no, you don't have to) at least shop local & don't spend money with fascists or their appeasers

#boycott #resist #breaktheoligarchy #blackfriday

@dangillmor oh yay, i get to post this #meme again 😁

#Google 's slogan "Don't be evil" is far in the rearview mirror. When you are a fascist appeaser, you are by definition evil.

That's why i keep asking liberal media what their backup plan is. All liberal media is on #youtube. what happens when the orange tumor tells them to ban or demonetize liberal channels?

i'd like to see media create a #PeerTube instance & begin the transition

#BreakTheOligarchy

@rysiek

For awhile now i've been wanting to switch my phone OS to Linux, like Sailfish, but i wouldn't even know how to do so

my goals are #Resist #BreakTheOligarchy & become 💯 #magafree to create #MyBlueWorld , so i'm working my way thru as i learn

i'd love to see more migration from #Windows & #Apple to #Linux

no one should be using #MSOffice anymore w/ #LibreOffice

hopefully we move from #youtube to #peertube soon

i really hope to see more activity on #Mastodon & the #Fediverse

@unusual_whales how could #Tesla beat earnings? everything i've heard is that sales have been terrible. US, Europe, everywhere

it's bad enough we can't "resisters" to #boycott ex-twitter, but they're still buying #swasticar?

how did Elmo skuM just break 1/2 $Trilly?

@tinker @bsidesnova

yeah. i got a new laptop a yr ago. every laptop gets faster & better. but not this one. sure the chips are better, but it is so much slower & bogged down. i had to turn off so much microsoft garbage. (& you know their AI is secretly still running in the background)

my next laptop has to be a linux

#BreakTheOligarchy

my AI conspiracy 😁💙

@Privacymatters I keep saying, they are ALL fascist appeasers

they are all part of the #ACO (pinned post w/ definitions)

They will always put💲ahead of people. Always. You think Apple cared about child & slave labor in China?

#BreakTheOligarchy

We need to find ways to ween ourselves off of their tech & stop giving them our💲

& shame on everyone who just bought the new thin apple phone even though they didn't need a new one. they are just a slave to consumerism. fuck the planet. & fuck them

@dawid @DarthAstrius

thank you for this. it is very helpful💙

one of the pleasantly strange things about #Mastodon is that when i ask a question, people actually answer😊

i've been advocating for building a blue💙economy & wrote several stacks on it

basically, identify blue businesses locally & try to only shop there. reward good💙businesses. but it's tricky

I want to switch from #Android to #Sailfish but i know nothing of the owners of #sailfish_os

i do what i can

Yes! 💙

I used to put Made w/ #LibreOffice on the bottom of all my #memes the free alt to #MSOffice that doesn't steal your data (like #Google docs does)

We need more usage, promotion & funding to open source software

Still waiting for libreoffice to release a version for tablets or 2in1s so i can use my pen. i do a lot of sketches & on the fly notes in powerpoint & notes

i need libre to make this 💙

my latest thought

As those with nothing
risk everything
to protect strangers

Those with the money

cower in corners
to protect money
they will never spend

I was disappointed when i saw Google appease the chicken #TACO. I just assumed they were wealthy enough they wouldn't have to.

Then i learned they had changed their slogan from "Don't be evil."

Then i learned they went from saying they wouldn't let their tech be used for weapons to using their tech in weapons.

Another example of how $ corrupts men's "souls"

#BreakTheOligarchy

It may be too late. They are ubiquitous.
Anyone know anything about the Sailfish OS? 😁

#Google #Tech #WT7

last yr i bought a new laptop. every one has faster chips & processors than the last

yet this one (w/ window 11 & copilot) is 𝙨𝙤 much slower than my last. i've tried getting rid of it, but best i could do was turn it "off" (ahem🙄)

so, for fun, i came up w/ a conspiratorial explanation 😁

This is another reminder that I need to change all of my computers to opensource like linux & my phone to swordfish (tho i don't really know much about either)
