Libertarians must fight the whole world because everybody hates freedom.

One wonders if Snowden regrets throwing away his life to warn ungrateful Americans about unconstitutional NSA wire-tapping.

>>77306
I am an American and I am forever grateful of Edward Snowden, he did God's work warning us about the invasion of our privacy and the glowing connections between the 'deep state' and big tech companies. I hope he retires peacefully under the protection of Russia. Glowies, seethe.

Offline gaming emulation plug and play consoles, external harddrive backups of all your favorite media w/ user-friendly plug and play media players, DVD and Blu-ray collections, CD and record collections, backups of linux operating systems, pre-activated older Windows and bootlegs of Windows, some spare offline laptops, an offline laptop just for your digital music collection w/ Foobar2000 installed. Use open source free local LLMs if you dig that AI stuff on a power PC. Yup, politicians and corporations are trying to ruin our internet and it's time we secure what we need and want for ourselves. Fuck streaming and not owning shit.

Libertarians must be obsessed about liberty now.

Talk to people everywhere. Pass out flyers. Print out business cards. Make a website. Start a newspaper. Rent a billboard. Make songs and movies about freedom.

You might be the last one defending freedom, but you must live with your conscience.

To be fair I'm also the one advocating for the literal enslavement of anyone and anything that isn't a white man.
Nonwhites, Jews, women, girls, boys, to maximize the freedom of those like myself, all those who aren't in my category must be enslaved or destroyed since their existence constitutes a threat to my liberty.

Offline backups and file sharing networks is the only future we have.

Preactivated bootable Windows ISOs, Windows bootlegs and Linux w/o age verification is the future.

Here's some good links that have more data for your boycott list OP. Shit's really bad with a lot of software out there

Thank you anon, I am a bit behind the times still simply because I refuse to buy and use newer technology. All my laptops and PCs are outdated, you can find them used all over ebay going for $80 to $100 average. I use preactivated debloated bootlegs of Windows 7 as well Zorin OS, most of my software for Windows are older cracked versions or open-source. Same thing goes for my non-smart old plasma TV, my old clunky 1980s B&D coffee maker, most my home appliances I held onto/ some fixed or refurbished over the years. I absolutely cannot stand the "subscription economy", I much prefer the "plug and play economy" and any brands that don't digitize everything, making things simple to use as intended I will always be willing to support.

>>77456
Glad the two main web browsers I use are not spyware, although sometimes I use a third web browser (Brave) so some sites won't break which apparently is not very secure. Maybe I should check a better alternative to Brave, but something that won't brick some sites.

Looks like modern CCleaner is complete crap. Collecting emails? I have an old version (v2.10) of CCleaner and it doesn't have any ads or spyware, you can even program your own .ini scripts to run it and wipe out any data you desire, including the .sqlite files from web browser temp directories to completely erase your browser history. Plus it does not come with any registration, once you have the installation file that's all you need to run it.

There's a modded version of CCcleaner online that has no spywayre shit. I have it in a computer somewhere but I can't find it.

You can search for it online though

> I absolutely cannot stand the "subscription economy"
They know most adults are busy and won't notice a monthly bill for services like those. That's what they're hoping and what they want since most people won't be too bothered to cancel a subscription compared to a 1 time fee for a product.

>>77849
I wonder how many billions are wasted every year on useless subscriptions that provide zero value whatsoever that people just simply forget to cancel

The American economy right now is running on a single, dangerously powerful engine — artificial intelligence. The latest macroeconomic data reveals a reality that should make investors deeply uncomfortable. While GDP figures look respectable on the surface, they mask a severe and spreading weakness underneath.

The expansion of AI has been responsible for roughly half of total US GDP growth this year. That alone is staggering, but it becomes genuinely alarming when you strip out the frantic spending on data centers, information processing equipment, and software tied directly to the AI boom. Non-residential capital investment that has nothing to do with AI has contracted by about 3% over the past year. This is a sharp reversal from the previous decade, when the same category enjoyed average growth exceeding 5%.

The algorithmic gold rush is starving the rest of the productive economy of oxygen. While billions pour into GPU clusters, traditional engines of economic health are sputtering. Investment in industrial and transportation equipment fell by more than 2% over the last twelve months. Manufacturing construction collapsed by a full 20%. These are the investments that build physical things, sustain supply chains, and employ a broad middle class. In total, non-AI investment is running roughly $130 billion below its long-term trend line.

This lopsided dynamic is dragging down headline numbers. The shortfall in capital expenditure now shaves off roughly 0.4 percentage points from GDP growth. The economy is placing a massive, concentrated bet that AI productivity gains will eventually justify starving the rest of the industrial base. Meanwhile, the data from the last four quarters already tells a straightforward story: factory construction down by a fifth, equipment orders shrinking, and the long-term investment backbone that supports jobs and supply chains losing ground quarter after quarter.

Peter Thiel relocates to Argentina.

New York Times: “The billionaire’s new roots in Argentina are said to be partly motivated by concerns about the future of the United States and shared beliefs with Argentina’s right-wing leader.”

Uh Oh.

Apparently, Mr. Thiel knows something about OUR country's future that you and I don't know - yet.

HMMMMMMMMMMMM. "Concerns about the future of the United States." If he thought there was hope to turn it around, wouldn't he have remained here? Or is it unavoidable now?

He didn't just take a trip - he MOVED. Out. of the USA.
