Not just the cloud services but the platforms themselves. When are we going to get European rivals to Amazon and Google so Europeans can comfortably ditch our former friends?

Canada must do this too

Good idea. It amazes me how companies repeat the mistake. They get locked in when the service is better and cost is lower. The cost ratchets up and service quality goes down, until the switch is worth the pain. Repeat. You want a separation between vendor and solution, so you can change only vendor.

Eggs in one basket and all that. Long overdue.

Random Americans also, tbf - lfg! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The NSA is notorious for keeping zero day vulnerabilities in proprietary OSes secret in case they want to use them for espionage/cyber-warfare.

Yep. Linux is the shit!

But google is head quartered in Ireland and my servers are in Australia ….

necessity is the creator of invention, looking forward to the european products that will be safer than American corrupt bullshit.

However we get through this, the rest of the world will still be figuring out ways to get things done without us. They will never be able to trust us again.

It took me awhile to switch, but I am off Google, Facebook, Amazon and others. Fuck them.

They should. They are all extremely dangerous to the European Union's security. Drop them all.

It's #FAFO www.youtube.com/shorts/1c9R8...

Monopolies are bad.

Do it.

In switched to a Norwegian Cloud a month ago. Don‘t want to give my data to us datahungy monopolists.

So the EU is not going to drop it's lawsuits? And now users are leaving too? Ahhhh, Too bad. All those companies should pop open some of that real but fake Trump Champagne

These US oligarchs lost sight of their customers, high on their own supply of exceptionalism.

I believe in #Europe #UK #Canada, #Australia, #NewZealand, & anywhere in the world #Dump has threatened! Should all join in a #Boycott wherever! Whenever! Possible! avoiding #Google #Apple & #Amazon may be difficult! But avoiding #McDonalds #KFC #PizzaHut #Starbucks etcetera E is really easy!

Nothing worth doing is ever easy. Keeping megalomaniac billionaire bastards from turning your country into what the u.s. has devolved into is worth doing no matter what the cost.

They need to start doing it. They may need to start putting lots more money into the infrastructure, but they have no choice.

So am I.

For the majority of people it's a simple decision to buy additional, external SSD/HDD

Cutting ties won't be easy *if you made poor strategic decisions in the first place*. If you followed rational (informed) advice you'd not have been adopting any technology set in the cloud that wasn't portable to other providers.

Let’s goooo

It’s high time

Makes sense. We're led by a lying rapist..

I’m just moving my servers from Linder and Digital Ocean to EU member-owned one

They love the smell of fresh taint.

Europe’s TikTok moment with the US

Can be difficult, but Europe got to do that!

He’s literally fucking up everything! What will things look like a year from now? Someone needs to take action! 🤬

Best way to ensure their own data privacy laws aren’t routinely abrogated by Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, et. al.

I wouldn't trust them at all. We can't trust the US with military secrets anymore, because Trump and Musk will either just give away or sell them to whoever we're trying to defend against. Scamazon, Google and Microsoft can't be trusted to hold our data either, and not show Musk and Trump it.

📌

It makes sense but it’s a really difficult and long process, also because we have to start educating people.

Yes

Competition is the best way to curtail the monopolistic oligarchy of the lawless US. EU is in a position to encourage other tariff targeted nations to do the same. Watching the world pass us by to leave us in the dung heap of trumping.

The larger agreements have 3-5year contracts, so it will take time for them to lose any big customers. Like the article says, small and medium sized businesses can make these decisions quickly.

My advice to Europe Canada and others? Learn from Sherman's mistake; don't just burn, salt the earth.

European customers are too

They are tiktoking American businesses, wow

IT and software engineering is a cyclical beast. First we had individual computers liked together in a building connected to the web. Then we had satellite departments on light weight connection. To reduce hardware costs we moved everything to cloud and gave our IPR away freely.

You can buy votes, but not hearts.

We're all on bluesky because of how musk used/changed twitter. People will flock to a well run alternative and leave Amazon web services in the dust as well.

Everything DJT touch dies! The book

Europe has an obvious Achilles heel and that is its obvious lack of innovation. There are no breakthroughs in technology or science in Europe compared with the US or China. If that is not corrected you're doomed to vote to one of them

Trump chaos needs to hit the broligarchs where it hurts

It's difficult to extricate oneself from Google, Amazon, Microsoft & Meta. They're so embedded in all our devices... phones, smartTv, laptops, desktops... it's easier said than done & involves a degree of separation from the familiar. It's also socially isolating, in a way.

Huge opportunity for cloud services not in the u.s.

'Won't be easy, but it will/should happen quick. At least for the nations not already run by Putin's useful idiots.

100% predictable but we have actual certified morons in charge at the moment

Felon47 has got to go. Now he’s imploding the tech sector too. Everything he touches turns to 💩. But then again… They should have known better. #Karma

It’s not going to stop with cloud services. From parts to maintenance that come with defense purchases too. Travel and hotels will struggle. Jobs? Who’s coming here to work low paying jobs with no benefits as it guts science, medicine, and higher education? America was on easy mode.

but will be safer

time to reconsider dismissed solutions such as permissionless blockchains aka cryptocurrencies.

Im soured on US cloud services too. I hope EU figured out a way to get around them.
