Hi, didn’t login for quite a while.

Globalisation has yielded a machine that was produced from all over the world. It’s a 2008 machine.

Mine too.

Not sure what point you’re trying to make here

The dependency of Europe on the US, especially in the tech sector, is endemic. There is no easy and quick fix for this. Whoever told you that was feeding you bullshit. Think about it: we can’t make microchips, and most of the IT and media production we watch is made by US companies and therefore under the control of the US. We need to make compromises on our initial efforts, or we risk pushing a lot of people away from this cause. And people have to be free to follow their own pace.

As long as you are dependant on US tech giants, you don’t have ETS.

I totally agree with you in this.

It’s easily a replacement for content creators.

Not sure about that. Do you use PeerTube?

I’m using GrayJay as a YouTube client. It might not be for you, but it works for me. It has resolved most of my issues with using YouTube (I was also a Premium subscriber). You can also use it for other platforms, including PeerTube. Clients like GrayJay can help the PeerTube cause by making people discover creators on those platforms too and making the transition easier.

I’m pretty sure you are writing from a device that has most of his fundamental components not made in Europe but the US.

What we need to have it’s a programmatic approach to this. Removing the possibility for us to use US tech from day one it’s non only impossible but also unnecessary. YouTube is a monopoly, there isn’t anything out there that be even close to it. I know peertube very well, is not a replacement for YouTube. Not now.

The video isn’t mine.

Yes, it is absolutely ridiculous and imagine the potential here, we could see the usage of the fediverse skyrocketing just having the EU institution on there and push for the same everywhere.
