Who told me what? What are you talking about? I know my machine was made in 2008 (which came with linux on it from the factory). Or are you objecting to my estimate that I can get 10 more years out of it? No one told me I could get 10 more years out of it. In fact people are shocked that a machine that old still serves me.
You’ve lost track of the thread. Your words:
I’m pretty sure you are writing from a device that has most of his fundamental components not made in Europe but the US.
It does not matter where the components came from on a 2008 machine. In 2008 ETS was not even a concept to me. You cannot retroactively boycott. I wish I could travel back 25 years in time and tell myself before Amazon became the evil that it is today to boycott Amazon. A boycott can only be practiced after you resolve to partake in the boycott. An ethical consumer can only be responsible for maintaining their integrity /after/ committing to boycott.
Think about it: we can’t make microchips, and most of the IT and media production we watch is made by US companies and therefore under the control of the US.
A Dutch company makes the machines that makes chips. That puts Netherlands in many supply chains. Of course gnu linux would have countless contributions from Europe as well.
Not sure about that. Do you use PeerTube?
I don’t produce videos with the exception of 1 video, which I published on PeerTube and not YT. It was trivially easy for me.
