I've heard more about it elsewhere. It's very real.
It was on national tv news the other day, and some grocery chain is marking European products to help customers and such.
I'm not sure how big the economic impact will be though. Where I shop, most stuff is already local.

If we start ignoring the laws, we are no better than Trump and his clowns clan. Go for the alternatives instead. Also, If you keep using the US software they still get all anvertisement and telemetry which is more valuable to them than the software itself anyway.

What kind of stack are you thinking of?

I’ve been boycotting Starbucks for 10 years because it’s shit coffee, and McDonalds for 30 years because it’s shit food.

What exactly does the US produce that is imported into the EU? Consumer market, of course, where one person has choice in the matter.

Migrating cloud servers to European hosters. Give EU money to improve/build a linux desktop. Use that desktop in government, schools, universities... (instead of Windows). Fork Firefox. Host fediverse services and use them where the governments use Twitter / TikTok / Insta.

Harder: Mandate for mobile phones with a user installable OS (Cyanogen etc.) Force tech companies to provide total transparency about data usage. Cancel any safe harbor agreements.

In the end, everything the Open Source crowd wished for.

Btw, I'd have no issues with American / Russian / China hosted open source stuff when we can review what it does. Ah, ok, a "european code review agency" might be a thing.

Loops, but it's still almost alpha.

Not sure what your point is regarding the UK being a monarchy.

It's a Constitutional Monarchy, which means that the monarch isn't allowed to make decisions by itself.

There's still a representational government there. There are elections every so often.

Also I don't see the evil in a monarchy either.

Sodastream have a nasty habit of looking for a vulnerable, oppressed population, building a factory on illegally stolen land, hiring a few of the locals for peanuts and then screaming that they are "helping" them.

Did it to the Palestinians in the West Bank and when that failed relocated it in land confiscated from the Bedouins. It's in an artificial forced resettlement area where Bedouins have been forced to live in an Israeli-constructed town and industrial park.
