When Trump and his crime family comes for your data, American tech won't save you. They'll hand it over because they have no choice. European and Canadian alternatives aren't perfect, but at least they aren't under Trump's thumb.

Here's my post-Trump tech stack.

How I’m Building a Trump-Proof Tech Stack Without Big Tech

The world can no longer trust American tech. If that sounds dramatic, take a step back and consider the facts. The United States is a nation in the thrall of authoritarianism, owned and operated almost completely by a far-right doomsday cult intent on betraying every alliance, every contract, every promise

@jectoons @Daojoan ok so I saw “NEXT laptop” and thought you said “NeXT Laptop” and got real excited

@pixel @Daojoan i remembered there was a word with all caps and thought it was 'NEXT', but it was 'MNT'... Sorry for the confusion !
