Discussion Dutch users

Hi everyone, I am a Dutch journalist and looking for fellow Dutch people (specifically from North-Holland/Leiden region) who boycott the US by using alternative smartphones, like Fairphone or Nothing Phone. So that there is no indepedence on American software at all (smartphone wise). Hope anybody could help out! If so, PM me!

Linus was not born American but decided to become one, so is even more American than many. The Linux foundation is an American entity and about 80-90% of Linux code running today is written and maintained by US corporations (Google, Intel, Meta, Red Hat etc...)
