So now we can add “directly capturing a sovereign leader” to the list of crap the US has done. So what do you think will actually be “the straw that broke the camels back” for world leaders to actually do something? Think it’ll be significant or something mundane?

    That’s impossible at the moment. The USA dominates the software industry. No modern economy can run without relying on American software. Replacing that would be hard, maybe impossible.

      Take the first steps. Here are things you can do right now:

      1. Stop using Microsoft Office especially stop using Office 365 and switch to Libreoffice.
      2. Stop using Windows and switch to Linux.
      3. Stop using Reddit and switch to Lemmy (for other people, not you since you’re already here)
      4. Cancel your OpenAI/ChatGPT/Copilot subscriptions if you have those.
      5. Most importantly stop using Twitter if you use that and urge everyone else to do likewise. Bluesky I really like but it’s technically based in the US too but rewarding non-rightwing companies is like positive reinforcement. I haven’t seen enough people talk about using both the carrot and the stick. There’s also Mastodon which is great but some people feel it’s more for “techy” type people.
