We were tied with US companies for our business, and this year I decided that I was done with that crap, got a VPS, and MXroute for the company email, deployed Next loud, ans we’re saving around 6,500 dollars per year on infrastructure (used to be it cost us 6000 yearly 😁) and nobody Ia trying to upsell us on shit we don’t need or want.

Drop them all, they’re just expensive garbage anyway.

€115B for what ? Software to maintain cloud infrastructure is opensource, and lots of people who work on it are from Europe so if they can ditch US and join EU companies those fuckers will be in big trouble.

That sounds like a pretty good deal to me…

Still cheaper than relying on US technology. Furthermore, the tech giants sided with Krasnov and the EU is telling them to get fucked. Kudos to the EU.

This seems to echo Trump’s hissy fit over NATO countries not paying their share of military expenses when what he really meant is that they aren’t funnelling more money to the US military complex and daring to spend within their own borders.

Sounds like short term pain to ensure long term sovereignty

That’s what it’ll cost the tech giants.

In cases where I’ve worked on projects to transition to open source, they’ve all ended up saving money: capex goes close to zero, and opex starts out higher due to learning curve, but then drops below the old baseline in a few months.

And not ditching them would cost them €511B

Cost who?

I thought America didn’t need anybody else? According to the clown in charge.
