      Well said.

      TLDR: what is recommended due to our complete US IT dependecies is:

      ○ Our administration uses software and hardware that we ( should fully) control.

      ○ Some data and processing simply cannot be dependent on foreign infra.

      ○ Health, Law, energy, transport... Critical stuff should be isolated from this mode of failure.

      ○ Important documents must always be accessible offline

      The article introduces the situation, the why's and dangers and gives us recommendations as how to reduce this critical dependency .

        And how many people kept warning everyone of this and for how long?

        I am a bit tired of the lack of foresight. In reactive vs proactive measures people only seem to understand reactive ones.

        I've been telling people about the dangers of the lack of digital sovereignty, in relation to nations, communities and individuals for I don't even know how long. As many many others have for even longer.

        It's as if one keeps telling someone to fix the fissures in the hull of their boat while on shore, but they only seem to understand what you mean when the boat is leaking through these same fissures at sea.

        It's only then that it starts to sink - pun very much intended.

        By that point it's too late. And the outcome might be a tragic one.

        It's the same with the environment.

        It's the same with their own health.

        It's the same with everything.

        One doesn't need to ponder about this for very long to pinpoint that this is because the absence of reference is what makes it harder to acknowledge it. Because one has a harder time understanding what one doesn't have a frame of reference of, and then the subsequent dismissiveness ensues.

        The great tragedy of all the proactive efforts is that when they are successful, something has been avoided, and therefore unseen.

        We register rescue, not prevention.

        And it's only in the rescuing that the understanding of what could have been avoided starts to be perceived. Not everyone is like this, but most people seem to be.

        But I don't know how as one gets older, sees what might be a cliff ahead and finds only reasoning for a faint downslope.

        And I no longer care to know if it is due to denial, laziness or ignorance anymore. Because I'm quite exhausted of this.

                I mean , sort of. Let's see the world work without the Dutch company ASML, makers of the lithography machines that make the advanced chips.

                  So tired of people pluralizing mass nouns with an S. I couldn't finish the article.

                      That's the correct plural of email though. Unless you talk about the technology itself, "email" is the equivalent of "letter", not "mail".

                        With T2 - The Trumpening, the US showed that they are an unreliable partner in an extremely direct way.

                        No one will ever rely on the US as much as they did in the past, the extreme policy changes between different administrations has pulled the curtain off of how volatile their administration is.

                          The majority or people are stupid and only seem to realize how dangerous something can become when they are already directly affected.

                            We're in a strange situation right now, but there will be court judgements killing the illusion of all those privacy shield constructions. It's currently illegal to transfer personal data into the US and everybody is still cruising on inertia. The landing will be rough.

                              I don't see any real movement, specially in private companies, to end this. We still are going to depend on US for decades. EU don't have the balls or the will to do what China did
