American brands are trying to trick consumers into thinking they aren’t buying American brands. Backlash isn’t about a trade war. It could go away and it still wouldn’t change that the US is a fascist country sending people to El Salvador without due process and even arresting their mayor while threatening annexation of other countries due to inability to comprehend the concept of consent.
Based on how nerdy lemmy seems to be with all the Linux talk the demographic that is more similar to old reddit.
There was a period early in reddit when it seemed more techy. Later on it became more mainstream with a shift towards people posting in a manner more similar to Facebook and Instagram sharing more personal pics and memes.
Looks like they are completely clueless about brand image, since tesla is the maga brand in the eyes of many.
Yeah I’ve used heroic launcher, but a native launcher is still preferred. I like the GOG launcher on windows.
Cloud saves, achievements, and tracking hours is something I do like. I have over a 100 GOG games, so individually managing exe files isn’t something I really want to do.
When I think of the tesla brand I think nazi, racism, facism, bigotry, etc. So yeah I wouldn’t want to drive one even if it was given to me for free because of the problematic association. Some sticker wouldn’t make me feel people would buy that I’m not part of the cult of new world order worship bringing about extreme expansionist ideals and discrimination.
We are all exposed to the same propaganda.
Poor article with it attempting to be a character fluff piece that completely ignores that after working at the FTC, Slater become the vice-president for legal and regulatory policy for the Internet Association lobby group. Which was founded by “small business” like Google, Amazon, eBay and Facebook.
And involved in trying to infringe upon privacy rights. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/09/lawmakers-must-not-let-internet-association-weaken-california-consumer-privacy-act

So yeah, proton founder cherry picked information that tried to make it seem like it was acceptable to praise the pick when reality is the past is too murky to endorse in any manner. And that medium article that gets floated around ignores Internet Association too, so wouldn’t be shocking if it was from proton attempting to do PR damage fixating on identity politics with intentional omission of Internet Association involvement.
Sounds like attitude of wage slaves that have been brainwashed into doing everything for the corpos and being fine with getting scrap. They live to work as opposed to work to live.
Can’t change the slave mentality of some people. They were just born to be one.
No eat your own eggs. You don’t deserve European eggs.
Another thing is virustotal is a good site for scanning programs before running it, since it’ll scan it with every possible virus scanner available.
Windows defender and browsing the web with something ublock origin to block ads is sufficient. And just having virustotal scan a program before running it will protect you from most stuff.
If you do insist on a third party virus scanner then eset is one I used to use for years before sticking with defender. It is from Slovakia.
Avast had privacy violations.

Windows defender is good enough if you are on Windows.
Lemmy.ca is a nice instance if you are looking for one that blocks those instances. The fascists were here before people from reddit started moving over, but as people started coming over that aspect started getting diluted. Now you just have to choose an instance that doesn’t federate with them.
Suing people for not buying tesla stock and suing those who sell it.
They did also resign joe rogan in 2024 to give him a $250 million dollar deal. He’s played a huge part in radicalizing his listeners.
Also donated money to trumps inauguration.
What…I thought we were team Hannibal.
We are reddit though just on a different site… lot of people mainly moved because of the api change.
Even someone believing they are “not like other redditors” is one of the most reddit stereotypes. Haha.
These days companies have started removing them after a year, since denuvo went to subscription route over a one time fee.
