    Buy European because the software is less likely than American shovelware to be hostile to your privacy (and humanity) too.

    However, you should be on the lookout for European companies that use the tariff-induced price increases to sneak in price increases of their own. And call that shit out when you see it.

      I fully agree with fighting fascism any way you can. I just haven’t seen anyone mention the opportunistic tendency that any for-profit entity will have to raise prices, especially if they can come out of it looking like the good guy.

      Edit: idk what happened to the comment thread, so my reply probably doesn’t make sense, but leaving it here anyway 🤷

    I really hope so.

    And sadly the over 50 countries now desperately calling the White House to beg negotiate are just inflating and reinforcing the Trump administration’s ego and postponing the inevitable.

    Stand strong. We’ll come out of this better than depending on another culture’s votes and whims. We do not start fights, but we can sure as hell win them collectively.
