uhhh "boykot varer fra USA" is either norwegian or danish, i'm having a brainfart and can't decide which but it's DEFINITELY not swedish and i'd be surprised if a significant amount of swedes reliably interacted with a community that isn't in swedish or english..

Danish. Norwegian would be "boikott varer fra USA"

Definitely Swedish. "Från" is exclusively a Swedish word, in Denmark and Norway we use "fra".

He's referring to one of the examples in the text, not the one in the image.

I see that now, my bad! The "fra" one is either Danish or Norwegian, yes.

I suspect Danish as we use "boikott" in Norway.

Interestingly, Apple is on not that list. They also donated 1 Million $.

[-] Farull@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

Spotify should be on that list. Fuck them for helping this dictator to power!

Great. I disliked them before so now I have a reason to hate them. Good that I almost never use their service (last year it was something around 2 hours in total or so). I will pirate everything I can and maybe later buy the tracks directly to support the artists.

basically every company that should be boycotted already because of simply being fucking evil

Yeah, the slow and partial dawning here is pretty sad to see.

Why aren't the Unileins on the list? they own Uline, they donated the second highest amount just behind Musk.

Love seeing initiatives like this get such widespread traction, let's hope it keeps the momentum going and people stick to their guns.
