@Wtebbens Couldn´t agree more, and one of the biggest changes we can do as individuals is to make sure the hardware (laptops and cellphones) we buy are #MadeInEurope and run operating systems free from silicon valley spyware. Time to #degoogleyourlife with a #Fairphone or a #shiftphone running #IodeOS or Murena.

@Wtebbens we have some of the most powerful politicians in the EU begging to be colonial administrators for daddy Trump, so this isn't going well.

@brinerustle And while individual action can make a difference, collective change is also necessary, and we need to get our governments and businesses to adopt the #eurostack as soon as possible, since we can no longer trust US and Israeli military contractors like Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon and Google to safeguard data or not use it against the population.
@Wtebbens or just wait for the Trump 2 administration to come to its end and dialogue with the next one (hoping that US voters won't elect another fascist).
Boycotting and building barriers cannot lead to anything good.
We can't repair mistakes by making other ones.
Dear Venezoelan friends, wanted to thank you for all the hospitality and helping with the stories. Don't want to think about rockets now, thinking about Mattis guesthouse and me and the pelikan enjoying breakfast. I am very angry.

[maybe @publicspaces wants to join as partner too]
but;
The fediverse will not scale if the EU doesn't give us any support. Be it for incubating diverse software or instances. Where is the promised money of Breton?

Dear @sl007 I find the DIDay initiative a great one! Much needed. So far it is only in German, are there plans to translate it into other languages?
With the Free Knowledge Institute we feel this is important. We might be able to help.
There are similar movements in most EU countries, to move to the fedi, etc etc that I see good possibilities to work on this collectively.
I like it that the DID puts first focus on browser, email, search. Any plans for the next wave of changes to be promoted?
