The last year I’ve been making a conscious effort to pivot away from proprietary/american tech, for a mix of reasons. I’m increasingly worried about #privacy, data collection, data sovereignity, that kind of things. Not wanting to have more or less my entire life stored on servers inside american privacy and data laws jurisdiction. Wanting to support #european tech. And, where possible, a preference for open source #foss #floss #libre software. I’ve been quite in the «apple fanboy» category for the last 20+ years, and deeply buried in the whole iCloud ecosystem. Partly because of Apple’s traditional stance on privacy, and the whole «if a service is free, you’re the product» thing. I used to look forward to #apple event keynotes like others do to football matches. The last handful of iterations of #macOS, #iOS, macs and iPhones has sparked steadily decreasing amounts of enthusiasm from me though. Anyway, the last year has seen me replace most iCloud services with @protonprivacy , my macbook pro with a @tuxedocomputers infinitybook pro running #linux, and my iPhone with a #Fairphone 6 running @murena /e/OS. And a patchwork of other services and apps to replace what I used to have. Here's a summary, and some questions to others. 1/n

Pretty soon we can write the Jews out of the story altogether!

"On the occasion of International #Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Center for the Study of #European #Jewry at Tel Aviv University on Tuesday published a new report examining how the Holocaust has been commemorated worldwide in recent decades. The findings point to a clear global trend: an increasing number of countries are placing the story of the Righteous Among the Nations at the center of Holocaust remembrance.

The 104-page report, titled For a Noble Cause, has received wide international attention. Its central article argues that over the past two decades, a trend that intensified in the past year, Holocaust commemoration has increasingly focused on museums and exhibitions dedicated to non- #Jews who risked their lives, and often those of their families, to save Jews from extermination."

#EU #Parliament Calls For Detachment From US Tech Giants

The #EuropeanParliament is calling on the #EuropeanCommission to reduce dependence on U.S. tech giants by prioritizing EU-based #cloud , #AI , and open-source #infrastructure. The report frames " #European Tech First," public procurement reform, and Public Money, Public Code as necessary self-defense against growing U.S. control over critical digital infrastructure.

Watching #European Parliament debate on Trump. One said they need a child psychologist to deal with Trump. Another let out a stream of cursing including a very clear Fuck Trump. Love it. Young woman up now, Emma Fourreau of the left socialist party La France Insoumise is bringing the fire, specifically calling out #US #imperialism ending with Make America Go Away.

These folks are done with Trump and the US. Hoping this is the end of US hegemony. Good riddance.

@ecosia

Out of curiosity, I analysed Ecosia's infrastructure (through IPs and ASNs) to find out whether it is #European or not.

I was surprised to find that it relies on #AWS S3 for financial data reports (stored .json data), #Amazon Cloudfront for the Ecosia.org search, Fastly for blog.ecosia.org, #Cloudflare for the Ecosia.org homepage, #Google Ads and probably others.

In July 2025, they posted on their blog that 'digital #sovereignty is just #oneclickaway', stating that Europe's digital backbone is dependent on the US and all the problems this entails, such as a lack of control.

They also said, 'We've always believed that where you search matters' and 'Digital #sovereignty is climate action too', despite the fact that they depend on Big Tech themselves and use almost no EU infrastructure in practice.

As Ecosia is a signatory to the #EuroStack initiative, why haven't you migrated your infrastructure to #European solutions?

It is worrying to know that, by switching to Ecosia, practically 100% of my traffic goes through non-EU companies. I would like to see more independence on your part.

'Building and using local infrastructure means reducing transatlantic data traffic, increasing energy efficiency, and cutting down on the carbon footprint of cloud computing. Plus, tech companies that are based here are more likely to be held accountable to EU environmental standards. It's a win-win.’ – Ecosia Blog https://blog.ecosia.org/digital-sovereignty-is-just-oneclickaway/
