Another painful one to write, given my life-long love of Apple.

Liberty as Resistance — Matt Gemmell

The world must extricate itself from US big tech.

Matt Gemmell

@mattgemmell another great one. lots to take in, to think about. no simple "ditch 'em all", but naming the cost for that as well.

q: where would you personally draw the line with eg Home Assistant? At the core an open source foundation, with close to ties in form of optional subscription service the US based company Nabu Casa? Or the canadian 1Password that uses AWS? Just curios...

@derlinzer I don’t think there’s a single answer. AWS is a big hidden liability. I think that underlying data sovereignty is much more important than hardware and subscriptions?
@mattgemmell There never is. when taking usage of AWS (even when instances are in EU) into consideration for non-US companies as well, it gets really really narrow to find usable alternatives.
