Then europe should have no qualms about footing the bill and doing it themselves.

I really hate to defend the actions of those POS nazi scumbags, but this is mostly on the rest of the world for standing back and letting americans foot the bill for everything. Europe being caught scrambling to invest in building up their defense industry is another perfect example of this. Or like how the germans decided nuclear energy was too scary so they started relying more on gas imports from russia.

protests represent the threat of violence. the threat went away and the rulers stopped listening.

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.

lol those are dram chips in the stock photo.

(more risc v investment away from the us is a good thing though!)

signal is a good option for messaging. it is technically american, but i feel like FOSS projects should generally get a pass.

also, as an american who is very not okay with what our (russia's) government (puppet) is doing, wouldn't supporting non-american businesses mean paying the tariffs and supporting the oligarchs? i'm not really sure what us yanks can do besides just trying not to spend ANY money.

Frankly, both are good options. Valve has done so much for linux gaming, and CDPR has done a lot for game preservation and DRM-free gaming. I've bought plenty of games from both.
