"The fear of harsh retaliation for any country that dares to be a Disenshittification Nation is based on the premise that Trump is motivated by a commitment to fairness. He's not: Trump is motivated by a desire to dominate. Anything that threatens the dominance of the companies that take his orders is fair game, and he will retaliate in any way he can." - @pluralistic

"I know it's out of step with the times, but all I have is ideas that make money, make us safer, make us richer, and make our technology better..." - @pluralistic

Fun fact: This doesn't just apply to Canada. There's a huge pile of money on the table - seems stupid to just leave it there.

Adversarial interoperability should be legal. Users should be able to use software on their own devices the way they want to. The tariff wars have opened up a new political opportunity to make that happen. @pluralistic explains it well:
