People who don't endorse the democrats generally advocate for other means of political action, such as worker unions, tenant unions, local organizing, etc. Now if they do mean "just don't vote" I agree with you though, that's not gonna solve anything either

    No. I just think blaming Russia makes no sense when there's a massive issue with billionaires buying up the media and supporting people like Trump, it feels like misplacing systemic blame on external actors, as if a friendlier relationship with Russia would fix the massive issued endemic to capitalism.

    There's foss apps for weather that don't collect all that data, if you're using Android it's usually a good idea to first check f-droid for utilities like that as it's likely someone else already built it, and it's usually still receiving fixes and updates (the page shows you that kind of information).

    Hopefully not, if we take this at face value it's about setting up the bureaucracy for dealing with issues related to using Rust in production, I haven't been in the industry that long to know whether we should be alarmed but it doesn't seem to be a move away from foss at least. The thing that worries me is that it may not just stop here.

    lemmy.ml is a general instance, the instance for MLs is lemmygrad.

    I understand if you're frustrated about political stuff here, unfortunately things like privacy are extremely tied to politics and we can't avoid that connection unless we avoid talking about privacy. And the first step to push back against surveillance is to be informed.

    Having to choose between two of the worst people ever isn't democratic to me. Clinton is a monster too, which is very obvious when you see people outside the US as human. Obviously Trump's policies are even worse, but let's not pretend you needed much help to get that pos elected when even after the files so many people over there still like him.

    Local wages wouldn't lower if unions welcomed immigrants and they (unions) did their job. Or if you mean stuff that's clandestine work (like meat packing plants), those abuse migrant workers who are poor and desperate, some of which are children, not the kind of migration you were talking about.
