The general populace isn’t going to switch to Linux. They’re just not.

The path of least resistance is to continue using Win10

Affinity Photo is an excellent Photoshop alternative. I switched a while ago and have used it for all of my major projects since.

This is by design. Decades of eroding education and critical thinking have produced a populace that is highly ignorant and extremely easy to manipulate.

There is a reason why attacking education is the first thing any right-wing government does.

The monster that is Infinite Growth can’t do that.

I’m sure if you follow the paper trail enough it’ll lead back to either Russia or the Heritage Foundation from the US.

It is yet another grifting disinformation factory.

That doesn’t sound like government efficiency.

Coolio. More technofascist-controlled social media. Nothing could possibly go wrong here.

Depends on by whom and how long. The US produces a lot of things but also imports a lot of critical goods and materials as well.

If Canada, Mexico, China, and the EU & UK all banded together for sanctions or embargoes? The US economy would be pushing daisies pretty quick. Especially if the actions were coordinated and did not give the US time to react and adjust.

But the countries issuing those actions wouldn’t be in good shape either. Trade wars are a 2-way street.
