USA’s demand that Europe has to take care of its own defence, was never about Europe having to take care of its own defence.

Signal presumably has more users than all others combined. Don’t make it too diffucult. You better might switch them to a messaging app that appears to be useful to their other contacts too, not only for messaging with you and each other.

Since few weeks I’m replying to all mails with X in the footer (newsletters as well as email signature of corporate mails) to tell them it would be great if they stop promoting this crappy outlet. Concise, polite and motivated.

From roughly half of them I didn’t get a reply yet. From the other half, a MAJORITY reacts positive. We all should know, the MAIN reason most organizations are still there, is because someone decided so in 2010 (!). They never thought about it afterward, because their audience / customer ‘never asks for that’.

Be. That. Customer / Reader. Who. DOES. Ask. For. That.

The main problem is that far too many Europeans mindlessly cling to everything google. There are plenty of suitable European alternatives. Probably not for every use case, but more than enough to grow European tech and support European business. https://buy-european.net/en/alternatives

There’s still a long way to go.

Me too, dumped Windows for Linux dual boot Linux Mint and Zorin OS and no regrets. Never used Linux before.

In the Netherlands someone made a nice (or maybe I should say: depressing) dashboard (still beta) for the US dependency of government agencies, schools, healthcare and companies: zijnwealautonoom.nl (‘are we autonomous yet’). Red button highlights the enormous extent to which most Dutch organisations behave like a digital colony of the US, for example screenshot shows education.

I wouldn’t. Not because I don’t think it’s a good idea, but I want to let them see that specifically X became a disgusting fascist deepfake childporn abyss. Adding fb as well, increases the risk they don’t quit any of them, because it might give them the illusion my message says more about me ‘being anti social media’ rather than about X in particular.
