I’ve begun my journey to reduce my reliance on US tech, so it’s time for an update on how it’s all going.

No surprise, some services are far more easy to replace than others. Email and streaming are low-hanging fruit; maps and messaging can be more difficult. But we should still make the effort.

Getting off US tech is no easy task

But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t make the effort

@parismarx There are no alternatives to whatsapp and googlemaps. If you want out, you need to get rid of them along with the convenience they offer.

@nikolasdi @parismarx funny, these were two of the easiest for me. Helps that I was never very active Whatsapp user. For maps, organic maps and apple maps have largely sufficed tho I still occasionally use google maps in the browser. I know apple is a us big tech company too and also caved on the gulf of mexico thing but haven’t yet found a fully adequate alternative
