Calls for boycotting US products spread in northern Europe

Literally the only thing I miss about living in a Germanic country lmao

If we start ignoring the laws, we are no better than Trump
"Fascism is when piracy". What a take

As always: the power of the working class resides in work. Organize your workplace. It doesn't matter whether you stop buying cola, real impact will come if your workplace stops buying the overpriced 100k€ machine imported from the US tech sector. THAT'S where you really hurt them. Consumer expenditure is a minuscule amount of relevant key US exports.
Organize your workplace, join a union and create a local branch. Join an existing revolutionary socialist party. Create mutual aid networks in your neighbourhoods.

American food is the worst thing you can ever ingest.

GrapheneOS, CalyxOs or LineageOs as an alternative to just using android.
F-droid and Aurora store for almost all android apps, Obtainium if you can find your way around git forges.
Tuta mail, Posteo and other alternatives for Gmail.
Firefox and Thunderbird as replacement for Chrome and Gmail app
Duckduckgo/Ecosia(uses Microsoft's Bing), Kagi(good but paid), SearX(free but you can run into limits quickly), Marginalia(nonpaid websites only) :- all are replacements for Google search, also learn to use search bangs to quickly take advantages of different search engine
i don't use almost all of Google's other products but a search would pop up other alternatives. Don't forget to use Google Takeout if you have an account with them.
Goodluck!

Here's to hoping this happens

Ah, now I understand!
That is a great point. It's indeed really tricky to e.g., build a modern pc without American owned semiconductor companies when it comes to processors and graphic cards. There's like.. British ARM processors which isn't really suited for most applications.

Wdym? We have Apfelschorle
-
If you want to be that way: tap water is way better
-
Some people want them. Dont live on just water like me. So better them drinking local things
-
That's my point, I don't live in a Germanic country anymore and Apfelschorle (Rhabarbershorle too) is the only thing I miss
-
I appreciate it thanks! I've been using DDG and fire fox for a while. I'll have to look up this Google takeout. Thanks again for the tips!
-
Awesome I love the visuals!
-
- Protonmail (i know it gets a lot of backfire on lemmy) and tutamail for mail
- Proton drive for google drive
- for travel i use TomoTom Go (amigo is free)
- Duckduckgo and librewolf as browsers
- Qwant and Ecosia as search engines
good luck, and don't flame me for using Proton lol
-
Ooooh. I understood it that you are in a germanic country and miss these things lol

I think the point is, go even further and stop. Of course they want it, those who buy it. Once I stopped drinking sugar drinks, they started tasting really bad when I tried them once in a while. Started preferring natural juices instead. Love my juices. Still sugary, but less processed.

Lemmy is more an alternative to reddit. Friendica is the alternative to FB from the fediverse

Google take out worked for me to export all my google foto's so i can save them somewhere else!
I was using firefox as well, but moving now towards Librefox, duckduckgo browsers. I also like Vivaldi but not sure how good it is on the privacy meters
