The first US #scientists for “scientific asylum” arrived in #France: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/jul/05/academics-leaving-us-scientific-asylum-france-trump
Others leave for #Canada and #China.
And they all fear for their families and deportation in their home country. "Some declined to speak to the media, while others asked that their full names not be used, offering a hint of how the Trump administration’s actions are sowing anxiety among academics."

Another candidate for @european_alternatives I guess.
@strypey Read more closely, please: I talked about #EuropeanAlternatives. Ghost is placed in Asia.
I'm a zero in IT, for your technical questions pls read their website. My newsletter is published in the web, you get it per email, and they have a plug-in for Wordpress (even with paywall), from there I could implement it here, even with podcasts (I don't use that).
It is especially for people who want a very easy to-go solution without any subscribing costs (they take money if income).

@davidbaakman You might want to have a look at #InterColo, S2 1TB for €3,83 ex Vat per month if you pay per year. It goes further down when you increase the number of years.

It was the best I could find for my backup on #EuropeanAlternatives #S3 #Storage
Good tutorial in French explaining the features and benefits of Hetzner's Storage Share service, a cloud storage solution that integrates with Nextcloud, a popular open-source file management platform.
From just €4.29 per month, you can get your own Nextcloud instance as an alternative to Google, Microsoft, etc. It comes with 1 TB of storage, unlimited users and is hosted in Europe.
It's not free, but neither are the US competitors — it's actually cheaper than Google One (10€) or Microsoft 365 (13€).
You don't need any IT skills to install it; just create an account, pay and start using it. 
You can do it only for yourself or offer storage to family, friends and your community too.

EDIT: According to @echo_pbreyer , DNS4EU logs queries. May be better to use something else, after all.

This looks interesting! Ad-filtering DNS resolvers, among others, with EU funding. Support for DoT and DoH, too.
Not enough funding for easy-to-remember IP addresses, though.
Please welcome @pixelunion on Mastodon!
The Google Photos alternative PixelUnion, a hosted Immich solution based in Europe, made good on another of their promises to address the issues I pointed out in my feedback. They added an RSS feed to their blog and now joined Mastodon. They're also planning a guide for migrating from Google Photos as I also suggested.
Feedback to Big Tech platforms is slightly less effective.
Leaving aside such minor matters as nuclear non-proliferation, is the UK seriously considering deepening its reliance on the US-centric F35 platform? How does this make any strategic sense?

@Tutanota for mail and calendar Tutamail, for browser Mullvad with metager.de search engine #europeanalternatives
Have you switched to any of these more private #EuropeanAlternatives? If so, which ones?
Out of the loop on #ChooseEU?

How do I stop using Big Tech products?
(we don't agree calling this a privacy-first tech map though)
@alper_yeg That's because not everything must be made by the state. 
Search for #EuropeanAlternatives or follow @european_alternatives to get more European stuff before you cry about a shame.
We have two browsers made in Europe, @Vivaldi (Norway) and Mullvad (Sweden): https://european-alternatives.eu/category/web-browsers Mullvad VPN which can be combined with the browser is also on Mastodon @mullvadnet
@sco_tty The #EU is putting money in #OpenWebSearch but it takes time to develop it: https://openwebsearch.eu/
They are also investing in #openSource solutions: https://interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu/eu-oss-catalogue
Cloud migration converts universities “from being a source of technical innovation and knowledge distribution to consumers of services”—a fundamental shift that undermines academic independence and transforms knowledge-producing institutions into service-consuming clients.

This is an excellent article with a lot of useful information about how Infomaniak's sovereign cloud works:
"With more than 15 multi-data center cloud infrastructures, #Infomaniak is one of the few cloud providers in #Europe to master its data centers, develop its own technologies and guarantee sovereign #cloud services. This ensures a clear legal framework, a committed data confidentiality policy and job creation at local level while helping develop Europe’s technological independence. In this article, we explain what a cloud is, who its architects are and what criteria must be met to assert that a cloud is truly sovereign."
