To be fair, us over in Europe have been uncomfortable for a while due to the US surveillance apparatus having total dominion over the underlying systems that run our countries.
So, its a little bit tone deaf to hear these complaints from Americans honestly.
We’re told that we’re uncompetitive (yet when rising startups happen they’re bought out before being too large)- we’re told that we shouldn’t run on anything except US SaaS and US cloud providers.
I’m not saying that you specifically make these arguments, but the zeitgeist on HN definitely centres on this notion.
So, please forgive me for not taking this as seriously as you’d like me to.
