Nevertheless I have the feeling europe is finally moving on its own interests. Sure we are depending on a lot of us tech. And so they currently have great influence on Europe, so we face difficulties and draw backs. But in the end all of Europe moves further away from the USA, no matter what they do.
If you haven't: Check out if you can switch your computer to Linux. It's easy, most of your stuff will run without problems and you can stop Microsoft from stealing your data. And maybe try switching your mail from Gmail to an european one.
That is the golden rule of every Linux discussion: There is always one guy that is complaining that he can't use Linux because he is using some niche software as a DJ, line dancer, industrial metal smelter hobbyist or formula 1 mechanic. That guy will loudly proclaim that Linux is totally crap and not ready for normal users and nobody should use it, because the software to configure his 2004 McLaren is only available for Windows.
The more you threaten and insult us the less we want to do with you. You don't get us to rely on you by trying to bully us and being unreliable. That has exactly the opposite effect
With the same logic why would we not move to the Chinese services which can be even cheaper or maybe russia is still able to provide us some super trusted computing?

yet another reason to buy European - simply to annoy them. Fuck the US.

Don't just buy European. Support FOSS, because that's the only sustainable option we have.

Nowhere is mutual exclusivity stated

I'm pretty sure asking a sovereign country to give up their sovereignty will just push them to move forward with those initiatives.

Unfortunately it seems to be that way:

But that is not a computer on which it cannot be run, still.

If you're looking for computers: Your smartphone is a computer. Android is even kind of Linux based. But you are not allowed to install it.

M3 and M4 macs still lack support I believe

And yet Amazon is trying to convince us that infrastructure in EU will be sovereign. Jokes, pure jokes

Russia would not be able to provide reliable wooden wheels with their tech.

All the more reasons to have them.
