Switch to Linux from Windows or MacOS, use a degoogled Android ROM such as GrapheneOS, pay using cash when in person and using Monero when buying online using sites like shopinbit (based in Europe) & others listed on sites like monerica and kycnot.me or cash/Monero bought gift cards, to avoid using US payment processors, in general using privacy respecting open source software.

Everyone should do this, not just as a way of hurting the American economy, but as a way of regaining freedom over their own data and privacy, including Americans. Your data and privacy is being sold as a commodity to brokers/advertisers and governments, particularly the US govt. You should use this opportunity to take back control over your own privacy and freedoms.

So many European native companies/products like Milka or Cadbury were completely ruined by the American companies that bought them smh.

Who tf makes coffee using a microwave.

Using a fucking kettle mate.

If google actually integrates yt to the fediverse it might genuinely be the best thing they ever did, I genuinely hope they do cuz it’s the one centralised social media I actively use and the only google service I use in general.

Plus it goes without saying it objectively has the largest amount of high quality content regularly posted by thousands of people.

It could be the thing that would let a lot of users fully degoogle/decouple from google’s monopoly and bring a LOT more eyes onto the fediverse as a whole.
