    I also don’t get the logic. This is not scaring anyone, it’s just a huge inconvenience. And what do you do about that? People usually complain loudly about it. And because it was six judges the US basically rolled the dice 6 times on whether someone would complain about it to the media, literally giving a perfect example of why EU sovereignty is so important. It’s the most offensively stupid invocation of the Streisand effect I have seen.

      I’ve been an Apple user for 25 years and was really locked into the brand ecosystem. I switched to Graphene OS and Linux this year and just bought a 2000 Euro Linux Laptop from a German company to replace my MacBook Pro.

      I am done with US tech for good.

      I left all US cloud and streaming services at the beginning of the year already.

      On top of all that I am no longer buying New Balance shoes, another brand I was loyal to for probably 30 years.

      That I left reddit and all other social media goes without saying.
