Getting off US tech: a guide
- andsoitis 1y ago> I know we’re used to having Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime (an even bigger range of issues there), and all these US-owned streaming services These shouldn't really be viewed as tech (they aren't general places to find any content, unlike music streaming), instead it is more effective to think of them as studios, with Netflix being the most successful and most global, where you can find content from a huge variety of countries.
- kvemkon 1y ago> Getting off US tech "tech" meaning software, software as a service and hardware or actually only SaS and proprietary software? > ..., Mailbox, Wire, Threema,.... Is it known they don't use (proprietary) US software on their servers and their non-US software don't run inside VMs on proprietary VM supervisor/OS?

If we can reduce the customer base for the dominant players and show there’s a market for a different way of approaching digital technology, that could help incentivize more non-US options and even get governments to put real resources behind a push for digital sovereignty.
