You guys have much bigger problems to worry about right now tbh
Yeah, if the fascist overthrow of democracy only had tariffs to worry about, we’d be doing well.
Not my president 😡

Well to be fair you already went through this shit once. Speaking of which, you’re gonna send troops over here to help us out this time, right?
Piracy 😍
Until untracked VPNs are made illegal due to “security.”
…make your own. Destroy it and remake it with a new IP once every few months, use headscale or something to make managing it easier.
I am this petty, absolutely.
(Or just get everything now, I mean. You got a month. Sorry if you didn’t buy a few hard drives when Trump got elected. Some of us saw the writing on the wall.)
Unfortunately, the only hardware component you can actually download is RAM. And increased hardware prices are going to be the primary cost factor.
In the US.
Companies will find a way to apply this also to the rest of the world, citing some bogus reasons.
It’s like how back when the Euro or the Pound were worth nearly 2x what the dollar was, a new device or piece of hardware would sell for $399/€399/£399.
The EUR and GBP prices included VAT, import fees and whatever other fees levied by the local govt on electronics.

For how much people are worrying about tariffs I’ve lived my entire life with a 66% alcohol tax, 75% electronics tax, 240-380% vehicles tax and recently even saw 150% inflation.
Let’s play a game!
Where do I live?
Turkey for sure
DING DING DING DING YOU WON!!!
How is Lemmy doing in the Turkish community? Is there a Turkish lemmy instance?
I might be one of the thousand people that actively use Lemmy in turkey. Reach out to me otherwise incorrect
Ooh I’ll play. Australia?
Wow Australia has it like that? Nope. A lot less isolated
Hmmm, wanted to say Brasil, but maybe Sweden?
Close, a country just south of it has a LOT of my people, they even call their capital an extended territory of theirs…
Argentina?
Recently 150% inflation, not Argentina, based on the “Recently”
It ain’t gonna cost me shit because I’m spending next to nothing for the foreseeable future apart from necessities, and what little I do spend is gonna be bought as locally as possible. Fuck this country.
What’s a better way to build up local manufacturing? The oligarchy says this is a good idea for solar panel & EV imports. What’s the difference?
Gaymers are the most oppressed group, literally 1984
