Sadly it's more difficult to turn computers, websites, tech services, and operating systems upside down.

It's a nice idea for small physical products but it would also be nice to have a movement to boycott and give alternatives to American tech services.

I'm almost there! Gonna install a new OS on my phone in the weekend, then I'm completely murica free.

Next step: convincing and helping others

Edit: except my payment cards, although I try to use my phone whenever I can (which still uses SWIFT, I guess)

That's the idea! Although I also found one other OS that looks cool, but the name escapes me rn.

Have you made the jump?

You do not have to be a Registered Nurse for this.

I do not have to be a registered nurse to change the Operative System on my phone? Well, that'd be weird!

Not yet, though I suspect I will when I need to update my phone (you need a pixel for Graphene), but thereโ€™s also lineage os

Sadly, graphene doesn't support many banking apps, which makes for a shitty user experience. Liked everything else about it but not being able to access muh money on the go was a dealbreaker for me.
