It is now illegal to transmit personal information of EU citizens to cloud infrastructure in the #US as they won't be protected by the #GDPR.

Many European service providers will have to move quickly to avoid fines, but eventually #EU data will be held in the EU, benefiting companies in Europe, and supporting #DigitalSovereignty.

That means AWS, Azure, Google and iCloud can lose a sizeable chunk of their customer base if no moves are made. I am all for it.

When Trump and his crime family comes for your data, American tech won't save you. They'll hand it over because they have no choice. European and Canadian alternatives aren't perfect, but at least they aren't under Trump's thumb.

Here's my post-Trump tech stack.

"DOGE says it's now saved $65B in federal funds, but that's still impossible to verify. It only provides records for $9.6B in savings from contract terminations."

I brought houseplants to the office and they promptly were infested by fungus gnats. At home I normally just repot the plant with a better-draining soil to stop fungal growth, but that's impractical at the office! So I brought a mosquito dunk: wafers full of endospores of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti). The spores contain protein crystals which when dissolved in the guts of the fly larvae, release a toxin which form pores in the larvae's gut, causing it to starve.

For me this is a beautiful example of biocontrol. Endospores are a long-lasting packaging allowing the live bacterial culture to be sold in a shelf-stable form. The bacteria specifically target fly larvae, sparing me having to use a systemic pesticide. And it worked! A few days later, the fly population has crashed. A few adults remained when I first showed up, but haven't seen any more pop out of the soil over the day! Science rules.


if the protest works, i'm curious what'll happen with the vast supply of pre-owned teslas that nobody wants to buy. teslatakedown.com

if they're already built and cratering in value while sitting on a lot…I don't think it would be the worst thing in the world if it ends up meaning more people can buy an EV who previously weren't able to afford one.

in reply to Techlore

does that means that it will be illegal in uk and Sweden to use it?
in reply to Maffia

@maffia Not illegal to use Nextcloud, since our E2EE features are modular, which means you can enable and disable them as needed for your particular situation (and legalities). That said... we believe encryption is very important! Please use encryption everywhere you can! 🕵‍♀️

Most people with some interest have seen precisely this coming for more than a decade. @neuralreckoning is among them. It's great that outlets like @thetransmitter are now also recognizing this problem and are helping to amplify these voices.

#2024 #US #government revenue and spending
#USAFacts has a Sankey diagram that shows the money that came in during 2024 and how the revenue was distributed.
According to data from U.S. Treasury Department, $4.9 trillion came in mostly through taxes and $6.8 trillion went out. The difference, $1.8 trillion, contributes to the deficit. It will be interesting to see what this diagram looks like after this year is done (if the data exists).
