Calls for boycotting US products spread in northern Europe
-
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

Won't flame you for using proton. I'm concerned personally because of the CEOs stance, but it's not worse than Google, and is probably at least a bit better

I found this an interesting read on it:

This is the time for the Italian MoleCola to shine!

Oh yes. I'm a developer and I've stopped using DigitalOcean and switched to Hetzner.

Trouble with that in the UK is Coca-cola is the only soft drink really that hasn't bowed to the sugar tax and changed their recipe to be full of artificial sweeteners.
I absolutely can't stand the taste of these sweeteners and some even make me feel kinda of bad after drinking them.

soda is disgusting

Guess you found a market hole
-
the biggest US exports are its software products. Until the time we have a way to avoid Google, Reddit, Meta, Microsoft, ChatGPT etc, we aren't boycotting anything meaningful.

make sure to leave a negative review of the reddit app.

I'm on a now almost full boycott personally but my new Danish employer provides their employees with the newest iPhone (only phone you can choose.. I tried to get another), American laptops, and uses Microsoft for everything including cloud. It's the companies that need to start thinking and adapting. I aaked them "you know that all of our data is held by Trump-led USA, right?" And they just say "yea, but it is what it is".

Put it under maintenance.

I don't find it important what the CEO might or might not believe (and he does not seem to be connected to anything MAGA). If the business and servers are located in the EU I feel much better than if it's held by Google or Microsoft.
Besides, officially, Andy Yen is a strong supporter of data privacy and outspoken regarding the need for a stronger European tech sector, even going as far as calling Europe "and colony of USA" because of our dependence on US tech.

Have already replaced basically all US software products for personal use. Unfortunately work related stuff can't be boycotted yet, but hopefully we can see an improvement there too ASAP. Hardware still from Apple, but will once it becomes time to replace it I will definitely switch to a HMD phone.
-
Gotten rid of nearly every US digital service I have. Physical stuff I will still probably roll with my Apple devices until they wear out since they're relatively new, but almost all the data and apps are basically European and/or open source services. Work related stuff remains the challenge. Next phone will be HMD.
