This is not the gotcha you people think it is. Browsing HN does not put money in the pockets of the US government. Lost of people the world over avoid US products and services if they can. The jingoism of the US is well known.

Do you use Google? Any Microsoft products? Any Apple products? Any non-Russian computing device?

what’s your point? i boycott russian companies, not american

if you don’t see the difference that’s on you

ok i admitted it, now call me a hypocrite

The relevant difference between Russia and America seems to be - that Russia is killing less people? Or is there another thing that makes the difference for you?
