Just another hint, why EU needs to become more sovereign and independent.

That's crazy and even crazier that it's not reported about enough compared to how important it is.

They spend time trying to read our texts but pretend a judge, ruling war criminals as war criminals, losing some of their souverenity is completely fine.

Than they ask themselves why people are getting more and more radicalized.

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.
