"You don't need a DEA warrant or a Justice Department subpoena to see the trend: Europe's 90‑plus‑percent dependency on US cloud infrastructure, as former European Commission advisor Cristina Caffarra put it, is a single‑shock‑event security nightmare waiting to rupture the EU's digital stability."

This is everyone's risk. The digital equivalent of thinking that ICE won't be interested in me so I'll wait and watch instead of doing something now.

We have move most of our processing jobs from AWS to Hetzner. We use Cloudfleet as control plane so we will even be spreading our workloads across multiple European providers. About to move some of our long term S3 storage to Scaleway. Not only is it safer, we are saving a ridiculous amount of money.

Our company still relies 100% on Azure and probably won't switch anytime soon. Azure has now opened a partnership with an EU company to share code with them in case of a hostile government takeover (idea being that they could rebuild the cloud in the EU). This obviously purely symbolic and completely impractical measure was still enough for our company to cancel all plans to migrate away from Azure. It's frustrating.

I need a European android now!

What we actually need is for european companxes to drop the safety checks dependant on google play services and start using the phone checks only so alternative roms can function properly without depending on google.

It can be done and would allow people to more freely develop and adopt alternatives like grapheneos without hassle.

Well, that's the stage where the others remove their dependencies:

I hope everyone ditches everything the US has produced, so that in the end, we can all point fingers to Trump.

Hey, remember when everyone said in 2015 & 2016 he'd be a good president cuz he knows goes to run a business?? Well, he sure has... Makes everything about profits over people, outsources work to some 3rd party vendor, goes horribly and loses s a bunch of money. Now, running it into the ground! Just like before!

Only difference now is, is everyone else's money too!
