They over-consumed the goods from those countries and they lost their minds.

Fascists.

One of them is probably steam lol.

Don't trust anyone, not even yourself.

Full time ass job to keep up with every single security bulletin.

Send it to me. I'll keep it safe. I promise not to share it.

Me neither, not even myself.

I forgot my own name. Can somebody tell me where my home is?

I don't trust anyone with my data. Regardless of their nationality.

Elon Musk is the middle of that Venn Diagram.

You can make that 6/7 (my wife and I).

I don't trust my own government, and have no reason to trust anyone else at this point, let alone for profit companies. It's bleak.

I use DeepSeek, because I feel it is less nefarious.

It's amazing how many people cheer for corporations. There's few consistents in the world but a big one is corporations are not your friend.

Man, that's a pretty limited app list.

Even FOSS software? The Linux Foundation's headquartered in the US.

I do get the rationale, but honestly you could just change that to "proprietary software" and you'd have more options with just as much data security.

Lumo shoutout!

Congratulations, you’ve come to your senses.

It can be tough to do, I finally just got off Google photos backing up my pictures and videos maybe 2 weeks ago.

I already had them also being sent to my PC with resilio sync, but since I moved to Linux I didn't have backblaze anymore (B2 is too expensive for me and their "unlimited" cloud backup is mac and windows only) and didn't know of any affordable alternatives so I wasn't willing to drop my only cloud backup even if it's Google.

Eventually I canceled the annual storage plan and said "I'll figure it out by then", didn't figure it out, found jottacloud after that and am now using that.

I trust they are selling my data to make money, even when I ask them not to.

I trust that they'll be complete push-overs when it comes to law enforcement and agency data requests without a warrant.

Outside of moving data overseas, away from 5/9-eyes, I'm having a bad time figuring out how to obtain cryptographic control over my data within existing services. This leaves me to just upload crypto blobs everywhere with no real services to support it, or buying my own hardware and co-locating it myself.

I don't even trust myself with my data.

Definitely, and "data" is just a single bullet point on the list lol

It'd be like going to a quack doctor and saying "No way am I letting you operate on my brain! ...open heart surgery? Yeah, that's fine" lol

For now, the EU has strong data protection laws that the US and China don't have. Although it is true that stupid ideas like Chat Control keep popping up every couple of years.

Ideally, though, you put them in countries close to the EU but not part of it, like Switzerland.

Europe tech often times are open source with commercial service.

At least it's better than whatever Google, Microsoft, or Tencent.

I honestly feel safer with my data in a foreign authorities hands than domestic.

China can't do dick to me nor should they want to. I'm just a lil guy! The US does nasty things to its citizens on the reg, I don't wanna be caught up in that!

Honestly, I prefer someone else's untrustworthy.

I don't trust China at all, but I trust them over the US, if only because they have no stake in me as a foreigner.
