it's complicated. afaik asml has agreements with the us govt, and cross licensing with american companies. also, asml only makes lithography tools, there's a LOT more to making semiconductors than just exposing patterns. and a few of the biggest vendors like kla and amat are american. kla in particular is essentially a monopoly in the metrology space.

I mean it's easier and vastly more compatible than it was even a couple years ago thanks to the proton devs.
Statistically, so are most north american humans.
Adding in yt-dlp. Not a platform but a useful tool to download youtube videos for archival or redistribution.
I think we should just ignore anything that comes out of this admin to the greatest extent practical. Don't give them legitimacy.
that's not exactly true. volunteers have archived most of the old government websites and public data.
i mean, it's not overthrowing the nazis, but frustrating historical revisionism is a start.
