@j12t@j12t.social yeah me neither. They are also completely in the sand about the energy recession we are about to have.

@j12t@j12t.social Hell, I'm an American, and I back replacing US tech. My domain names, virtual servers and containers, and CDN for my personal projects have moved to European providers.

@j12t@j12t.social If you took the "Tech" out of that headline it would probably still be true.

@j12t@j12t.social US Tech Titans are too busy blowing into the AI bubble.

@j12t@j12t.social Shhh! Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake. If the EU were to replace all that stuff with local equivalents, which are already available as Open Source, they would also have millions of Americans signing up for them as well.

@j12t@j12t.social I would like to see all the United States Oligarchs fail. The only one that is a philanthropist that I know of is Bill Gates and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. promised to spend all of his philanthropic nest egg in the next 20 years. He had hoped it would last longer, but with the decimation of USAID he has had to step up his game.

@j12t@j12t.social I am boycotting Pulte homes because he is a tyrant and a fascist. #pulte He pretends to be a philanthropist on Twitter, but I would like to see how much he actually gives compared to how much he cons other people into giving.

@j12t@j12t.social Maybe Europeans don't grasp how entrenched US big tech is in their lives, either

@j12t@j12t.social Just over 60 percent of people surveyed across France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Poland believe it is a good idea to replace US services. Many in Germany want all US Services completely removed from public services and be replaced, with EU solutions, preferably open source solutions incl. Linux and Libreoffice. We will not visit, usa, we strive not to purchase goods or foodstuffs from american company's incl. amazon mc donalds coca cola Jim Beam, Harley Levi or wrangler et al.

@j12t@j12t.social I did the math a year ago: ~30-40% of FAANG revenue comes from the EU. Tech is ~20% of US GDP.

I just hope the European tech industry has grasped it and it becomes a reality @j12t@j12t.social

@j12t@j12t.social The biggest challenge is making it happen. We built a cloud architecture about 6-8 years ago, based on Microsoft's Azure services. It would be very hard to move away from that. I agree it needs to be done, but find us an alternative to Azure or AWS that is as robust and vanilla EU. Very difficult. We can't ignore it though: we cannot trust US tech.

@j12t@j12t.social I don't think the EU tech industry has quite grasped how much it would take :-).
