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.
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.
Good job America! Proud of y’all for once again standing up for your values of oppression and greed.
Well for me the most surprising thing perhaps was just the sheer scale and sophistication of the scam industry as well as the fact that some of the victims of the scams were in positions where they should have known better and were in positions where they made a lot of damage to the surrounding community.
For those interested in the topic I’d definitely recommend listening to the Scam Inc podcast series from the Economist, it’s a great series and first 4 episodes are free to listen as far as I know.
We need decent European alternatives for robot vaccuums.
