Calls for boycotting US products spread in northern Europe

Well exactly. Tech is about the only thing I can think of boycotting. I can certainly do services with little harm, but hardware is difficult.

Sodastream used to have a factory in the West Bank where they employed hundreds of Palestinians. Because of boycott pressure, they moved and hundreds of Palestinian workers lost their jobs.

BDS only cares about hurting Israel, no matter the consequences to Palestinians.

Yeah.. It's 24 hour opening so It was sometimes my shitty late night takeaway and I'd always regret it - my guts took 2 days to recover no matter what I ate... And apparently the MacDonald's food in america is even worse. Also trump eats it every day, so I can guess why he has to wear diapers.

I know that my country - The Netherlands imports a lot from the US, so i am trying not to.
Ditched all my Meta accounts, closed Amazon account/prime and Kindle, moved away from Google to several other services, stopped several streaming services and when we buy products from the supermarket actively check wheter products are from the US, and replace them with local/EU/Canadian products.

intellectual property laws are idiotic laws.

Oh that's great! I thought it was a typo, but people loving each other in whatever fashion suits them best is way better ️

[Guest]

You're entitled to that opinion, and feel free to suggest a change of law, but for now ...... it's still the law. And obeying only the laws that suits your goals is very much Trump/MAGA style. Let's not get down to their level.

Welcome - just did the same myself or still in the transition of it. Soaking up so much information about how to take data / information in my own hands again.

From Canada, I've done the same as you, but I'm struggling to de Google. Any suggestions?

Ditch GitHub start using codeberg.

Plenty of office alternatives, outlook is easily replaced (didn't know outlook had banner ads until recently, what a shithole)

If you prefer vscode try codium, some plugins may be missing but so is lots of ms bloat. Kate is a stellar alternative too!
