Agreed. I think it’s important to differentiate American organizations that are and are not part of the problem.

People have been pushing Matrix and Element over Signal.

Maybe not that much more than it already was, though. And Lemmy is going so far to boycott Signal which has been the golden standard for privacy up to this point. While many European countries are passing anti-encryption policies, we are boycotting US without any strong arguments.

It’s non-US. Honestly, I’m not really on the whole non-US bandwagon. It feels kind of xenophobic and a large blast radius. Even for privacy, non-US isn’t even enough, it needs to be in specific countries.

Yes, I have a Surface Pro 11 for my travel laptop and it works well. No notable differences from my previous Dell XPS 13.
