admittedly, I cannot replace everything, especially as an Apple addict. but it would be good if people outside the US deleted let’s say half of their American tech company accounts and replaced them with stuff from elsewhere.

I’ve been deleting a bunch of American tech company accounts recently Eg: Deleted Microsoft ID, used for Swiftkey & Copilot - replaced with Mister Keyboard & Lumo (made in EU) Deleted Google ID, used for mail - replaced with Proton Mail (made in EU) Bluesky swapped for Eurosky

"The company has gotten the top speed up to over 230 miles per hour, though Musk says the eventual target would be to get to half the speed of sound. Given that the speed of sound through the air is 767 mph, that means a target of around 383 mph." insideevs.com/news/812151/...

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.
"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.
