I’ve definitely been doing it, but it’s pretty hard to avoid US tech (both software and hardware). I can easily not buy bourbon or Heinz Ketchup, but not using commercial operating systems (I use linux, but y’know) or x86 CPU is kind of hard. Also, rightwingers see no reason to boycott Trump’s US and we’ve got a bit of a problem with rightwing parties in most european countries.
The person you’re replying to is Canadian and agreeing with your sentiment, pointing out an example of a product they have that can’t easily be exchanged also.
Good work BTW on de-Americanising. I’m trying also but don’t buy alot, particularly brands. I’m left with trying to not use American tech

Every bit counts, we can only do so much. Diapers for example are 99% from the U.S
There’s no way that’s true in europe.
