One thing that Europe absolutely needs to do as ASAP as possible is to become independent from the Silicon Valley.

definitely. EU should invest A LOT to break this dependence on US tech.

And the best thing is that we already have a lot of alternatives, we „just” need to invest in them.

Right now, here is the real problem - all the major cloud vendors are US companies.

Even with data centres in Europe, these companies will be complicit in whats coming - like IBM of the 1940's - they will enable Project 2025 to fulfil it's needs through technology.

They've set the whole system up so their is no choice, and Europe has been absolutely useless in setting up anything independent of this.

not only that, but SaaS providers need to start providing EU data and service residency as well.

I found it loooong ago, when it was starting. I'm checking it on regular basis, and it's nice that there are more and more services added.

I was planning to move from American services I'm still using to one of listed there, but it was always "I'll do it later". And now, this "later" has finally come.

@djvdq I gave it a quick browse now, and it gave me a lot of inspiration. Some things I am already doing, like moving from Google to Startpage, and using Hetzner for certain workloads.
