      trying to yes. realizing that its very difficult as well, as least personally.

      Vendor Lock-In… this’ll be an interesting observation.

      Will Open Source see more broader funding? Will privacy see a „different“ kind of rise due to corporate interests? Will we see a return to on-premise versus cloud? Will the local infra hold or implode?

      When I started at my job in 2023, I was called paranoid for selfhosting so much stuff. Now, I am often asked about exactly that stuff which I have been selfhosting since forever and asked to implement it in the company. x)

      Personally I would love solid alternatives, and I’m liking all the renewed interest. It feels like 2000 when I was hearing about all these new things like Yahoo email and Google for the first time. (Yeah I know there were out earlier but that’s roughly when I personally found out about them.)

      Maybe don’t have the US president casually mention he could order all US military tech to be shut down remotely (I think he mentioned it first in his presidency) and have Microsoft admit they could disable all their tech in Europe……. (recently)

      Then again, we do live in the age of the Reverse Midas touched Orange.

      Now that the unspoken taboo has been spoken out loud, naturally most nation blocks will try and disconnect themselves for their own good and protection. Makes logical sense. Trump did what Trump does best, ruin businesses. Europe will decouple and never come back until fascism is dealt with in the US.

      Edit for clarification: I genuinely doubt that Europe will blindly embrace US tech anytime soon again. We are moving more and more into European alternatives and that will become entrenched. The economic concept of „first mover“ in tech will die out now that we have had tech reliance for too long and shown the dangers of it.

      My favorite pastime now is watching people complain about US products while on the US product Reddit.

      Edit: I love the down votes from people mad they have to be on an American product. Keep voting, it adds value to the website from engagement and makes Americans more money.

      All of the billionaires who were all-in for Trump may not regret the loss of rule of law, the corruption, the attacks on the vulnerable, the attacks on our allies. But they are going to regret losing the world’s markets.

      This. I recently got rid of gmail altogether. Will keep it as a junk mail account. Using now a Germany hosted service.

      It’s for the best, it really is. Free yourselves in every way possible from reliance on the United Stares.

      I’ve cancelled Prime, Netflix, claude pro, my gym subscription (American company), YT Premium etc…

      Ain’t funding Nazis

      It’s very difficult, however changing a few things is already an impact. Lots of people changing small things is still big added together.

      Good. We need to send the biggest „Fuck you“ to the 1% oligarchs that have put the world at risk.

      No one is safe until everyone is safe.

      Lol I’m trying to log off us tech… subscription this, subscription that… naw.

    19. My_Fok on

      Azure! You can not just log off from your „server“ there are no viable scalable alternatives in the eu yet?!. You can also not just re-implement your ERP. Software is chosen based on best fit not nationalism. Excel is.. was the best. Will you drop it now?

      I wish this article went more into the citizen-level issues with American tech. I think people are really turned off by the behavior of people in tech and it’s making them uneasy. Someone like Mark Zuckerberg supported Trump and showed up to his inaguration. He’s got a bunker in Hawaii, meaning somewhere in his mind be believes that his behavior will cause a lot of harm to the world. The American government has pretty explicitly stated that they are targeting people for innate characteristics too, whether that be race, medical history, nationality, or personal beliefs. Honestly it’s probably like, 80% of Americans they’re targeting on some level

      Given all that, why on Earth would I ever willingly give any of my data over to Zuck? He’s kind of played himself here by making himself such a shifty character. Same goes for the other tech billionaires too. They’re all weird

      Doing this will be a 20 year plan.
      US tech isn’t going anywhere for now.

      It’s a deep moat.

      Open source is it, I have started to learn electronics just to fix my own shit

    27. Pyranni on

      Even at a personal level, we are looking for alternatives. Thank goodness Linux distros are improving at neck break speed.
      Our company went to shit when they put all of our eggs into the Microsoft basket and we are left with „offshore“ T1 support.

    29. Ryclea on

      We’re going to have a hard time selling military tech to our remaining allies as they have every reason to believe there will be a hidden killswitch that The Trump Family and Elon Musk control.

    31. TheDevilsAdvokaat on

      People have known for decades that relying on US tech for the digital world was bad idea. But it was just too easy.

      Now countries might finally start to move away from it..with the increasing unreliability of the US.

      They could indeed be and and probably are using it to spy on others, even allies.

      You’d have to be naive not to see this.

      Unless we all want to become digital American satellites, we must develop non-US alternatives.

      I switched email to Proton and stopped using Google as my default search engine

      I’ve always wondered when they’ll make a law/rule against direct IP connection from user to user. Seems like nearly every service/game relies on a central hub model now, with very few programs supporting such, while also logging/restricting communication in general.

      It’s wierd to have felt so much freedom under such limited hardware in the past, and now to have near limitless power in terms of hardware and so many restrictions. I’ve been gravitating towards self-hosting once more.
