Whoever told you that was feeding you bullshit.

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 reactively 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.

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.
