This is what I’m using. May not be the best one, I just picked something at random basically.

Windows 10 -> Linux:

• I really dodged a bullet not using Windows 11 … is what I would say but just after switching I was told I have access to a free year of updates for Windows 10.
• Linux has not been smooth sailing but it’s been manageable, still trying to find a distro that’s secure, stable, and simple.
• I also had to try to teach someone Windows 11 recently which went about as well as you’d expect.

American candy -> Local candy:

• Less candy = more health and more money. Overall a complete victory.

Microsoft Outlook to Proton Mail:

• I CAN FINALLY ENABLE 2FA.

iOS (10 years old) to GrapheneOS (on a used phone):

• I CAN NO LONGER ENABLE 2FA (on my government services, Proton Mail works fine).
• For once I feel actually good about my phone rather than begrudgingly tolerate it.

Bluesky to anonymous frontend:

• Less Twitter arguments.

American streaming services to foreign services:

• Less stuff to watch means I’m less overwhelmed by choice.

The red line for me, aside from being listed on the New York Stock Exchange, was the promotion of AI music. Not because I have a moral objection to AI, but because if someone didn’t bother to compose the music then why should I bother listening to it.

I, and most people, don’t really care about artists getting paid. There are always other artists.

Maybe people will make an exception for something they really looking forward to more of, but music generally isn’t like that for people. Music is mostly treated as a tool.

He’s corrupt. He does what benefits him personally regardless of what morals he supposedly holds.

It is a really stupid age verification law.

I can’t tell if this is in support of or against the seed oil conspiracies.

Nobody reads newspapers anymore. Video reporting was far more flattering for Trump.

The inconvenience is kinda the point. Does wonders for my backlog when I can say “this is a Amazon Prime exclusive? Guess I’m not watching it”.

Copyright should not exist. There should not be so much money in slop, and far more money in the art that resonates with people enough to buy merch.

The Crunchyroll player hasn’t been great. I think recently they basically stopped letting you choose a video resolution so sometimes I just have a 480p anime stream foisted upon me.

Piracy is illegal, and while those laws are not really enforced outside of America and Japan (as far as I know) I generally don’t like doing illegal things. Is the law more important to me than genocide I guess is the question, but it’s a question for February me since I was on the annual plan.

Just deleted it. But I don’t really want to have to go back to piracy.

If you fly via El Salvador you should be able to get around America.

In my case it’s the tariffs.

I smell weakness. I want to amplify that weakness as much as I can because America has long abused it’s dominant global position.

Funnily enough there’s a lot of Irish heritage in Mexico. During the Mexican-American war the Irish who were on the American side thought “this is messed up” and swapped to Mexico’s side.

This news story is horrible, but the headline is funny with this context.

Well, with Russia.

I guess a little, I shouldn’t have assumed all people with family connections in China would speak Chinese as their first language. And I completely forgot about Hong Kong which has (or had, IDK) a significant English-speaking population.

The operative word is “English”. An English language newspaper from China would be.
