I’ve begun discontinuing many US services in favor of EU ones. However, I’ve noticed that some individuals, instead of simply ceasing to use American products, resorted to illegally downloading everything. While it’s true that the money goes to the US when you pay, it can’t justify disrespecting others’ hard work and effort while still consuming or using their products, and it is also illegal. This is especially true considering that they likely don’t have any direct connection to MAGA. This applies to actors, directors, YouTubers, and many others. We should simply cease using their products without giving them any further consideration.

Edit: adding to the last line, we should give instead more attention to locally and European made creations and products

Not at all related, where can you find cheap hard drives in europe?

Your local computer shop, most likely. If it's run by some old guy with a soldering shop hosting his website on his own little server in the back room of the shop they're probably the best, speaking from experience here (NL)

As for the Netherlands, ~~tweakers .com~~ tweakers.net their price watch has a decent database of competing prizes across Dutch web shops, even smaller ones!
To anyone reading this, please let me know if there's websites like this for other European countries!

Thanks, but I don't have any shops lkke that nearby. The link tweakers.com doesn't seem to work.

I usually reach their website using DuckDuckGo's !tweakers bang like so: Demo link
