Like the others have already said, it's only an outage and it will return.

That said, what we're seeing is precisely what privacy and software freedom advocates have been warning of for years now: the world's overreliance on the centralised, proprietary infrastructure of a handful of US-based oligopolies have made people, companies and entire nations heavily dependent and vulnerable to blackmail, espionage and other forms of exploitation. Everything ugly we're seeing out there, from the enshittification of services to mass surveillance, from the digital dispossession of users to the exploitation of software for political leverage, is a direct function of this overreliance. And it's about time to break this cycle.

The alternatives and solutions are out there. Use the energy of your anger to make the switch; it's going to bear fruit quickly! The go-to subs for digital independence are /c/degoogle@lemmy.ml, /c/privacy@lemmy.ml, /c/selfhosted@lemmy.world and /c/linux@lemmy.ml.
