@BuyFromEU on top of that, i'll guess almost 99% of critical finance apps on smartphones would stop to work due to gooogle/apples integrity Service to stop certifying a secure environment as mandated by many health/finance/ID apps
@asltf @BuyFromEU "trusted" computing keeps being a disgrage. If app issuers don't trust my device they're free to give me a smart card or a gold old RSA token instead.

@BuyFromEU I am sorry but Europe is messaging but NOT listening. I find US dependancies all the time all the way into the European parliament, and EU governments and all I get is gaslighting an denial even in the face of evidence. Europe is fucked and it is the EUs lack of enforcement that is the cause and the reason we will not know what will fall apart when the US plug us out.

@BuyFromEU And we just realized it
We failed to learn from the moment we realized Europe was dependent on Eastern countries for hardware manufacturing. -

@BuyFromEU The alt text says Denmark the most at 89%, but the image shows Ireland at 93%.

@BuyFromEU The entire non-Usia world should be treating new fibre on land, and new cables by sea that route around that damage, the same way they treated the financing of WWII - because it would be an act of world self-defense.

Come on Europeans - we must be able to do better without the US. (especially the Nordics need to)

@BuyFromEU this would have huge consequences, beginning from US companies being disobbedient, through siezing us datacenters and military bases, whole world switching to open-source and self-hosting, tech alliance of EU and China, EU federation, economic chaos not only in Europe, possibly more civil unrest in US, etc. most critical european services would recover in weeks or months, but the damage to US reputation and world economy would be emormous
of course the switch will never be flipped

i would be running, but i am not a company... -
@BuyFromEU This is such a sad state of affairs. In Denmark Microsoft is just the default for everything, even though it's one of the worst and most infuriating suites of software ever created... But it seems like it's been a wake up call, the two largest municipalities are actively seeking to break free, and there's hopefully more to come.
@ch4ptr @BuyFromEU This has been a wake-up call for me. I would've never thought of changing OS, apps and social media had it not been for the insanity that's going on with the USA

@BuyFromEU the problem with Poland, Bolgaria and Romania is that they depend on russian tech, such as Telegram.

@BuyFromEU Nice. but there are not many publicly listed companies in EU, so it is highly non-representative.
Also, Czech republic is missing.
@OndrejZizka @BuyFromEU Czechia is missing there, but I'm sure that it is very dependent. Almost all Czech PCs run on Windows (and the most of the rest on Mac OS), US cloud services are heavily used (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud...), card payments use MC or Visa, almost all smartphones and tablets run on Android or iOS...

@BuyFromEU I'd like to see #Canada depicted/assessed in the same way - probably worse than #Bulgaria. #ElbowsUp

We haven't reached the level of prosperity we enjoy by economic autonomy but by global trade. And the US are a big player in that. Of course Europe should be able to stand on its own but I think that arguing for becoming independent from the US is about as clever as Trump's tariffs. Both would hurt the global economy immensely and everyone would lose. Not just Trump. -

@BuyFromEU The only viable way is via Linux and FOSS software. Plus devices like Fairphone (phones) and Framework (computers).

I think it's specifically about hyperscaler tech platforms and European dependence on them. We can't undo the realisation that we can't trust the US since Trump's aggressive second tenure. And this is a huge risk. -

@BuyFromEU link to the source please, seems they are relying on email usage which might not be the best proxy.
