    Just get rid of as much American software as you can. The US is a mess and the cloud act will always be abused.

    Edit: or open source software

      This is the way. I’m actually going to do my next YT video on options for repatriating your tech consumption and data, because other regions of the world have such better digital regulation.

      For now though, I’m 99% on Linux and that helps a ton.

          Yes, that and the very few things I need a dual-boot to do.

          Unfortunately there really isn’t a viable Fediverse alternative to YouTube. (Though I did include Peertube in my recent Fediverse video anyway.)
