So thousands of programmers have been laid off recently, they can almost all work remotely and we all need to get off US tech as quickly as possible. Seems like the perfect opportunity to fund an open source collaborative suite of products to replace meta, alphabet, microsoft apple and amazon.

Woah, that was waaaay easier than I thought it would be. Despite being (happily) rather tech-ignorant, it only took about a week of occasional tinkering to transfer all of my US tech dependencies to #opensource and #europeanalternatives.

Unfortunately, though, my largest tech footprint remains work (a 🇩🇪 federal research institute). Outside of some pretty terrible SAP systems, we are entirely reliant on #USTech. That's the case even for low hanging fruit like team organization, office products, and social media outreach.

»US-Tech-Konzerne verbrüdern sich unter dem Radar mit Rechtsradikalen in Brüssel:
Während Meta sich in der letzten Legislaturperiode nur einmal mit einem Rechtsaußen-Abgeordneten getroffen hat, waren es in den letzten anderthalb Jahren bereits 38 Treffen«

Die Nazis verbünden sich nicht nur mit den Daten hungrigen US-Konzerne sondern auch mit Russland, da deren Daten & Hierarchie ihre Macht ist.

My boycott of #UStech includes #Steam and Fedora/Redhat/IBM (as much as is possible while still using the Linux kernel). There are some things I can't realistically get away from, but I still do what is possible.

I like Carole's work, don't know Kagan, dunno, maybe listen, so action can unfold

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social interviews historian Robert Kagan about the end of American hegemony, the EU's need to individuate from the US immediately, and the prospects for MAGA's and America's future. Our crisis is well advanced.
