Except THIS is not how any of this works!....

• All it will do is see the #USA as #unpredictable, #unstable and less #trustworthy than the "P.R." #China or even #Russia under #Putin.

#Trump literally lashing out against friends and neighbours will only backfire hard, and I expect @EUCommission and @europarl_en to enact #PrizeFreezes for #US #products & #services whilst forcing #Retaliatory #Tariffs on all US #products and espechally #services, demanding 100%+ in all #fees, and #revenue of #GAFAMs' services and products to the point that they'll effectively cancel half their revenue that flows back.

• Plus forcing all products and services to be processed and sold via a #EU-based #corporation and adding a 30% "#AlienTax" as the #USA already does for i.e. #App #developers that ain't from the US even if they never sold a single license to a US customer.

Not to mention cancelling any #DataProtection agreements that only stalled the foreseeable court decision that #CloudAct is incompatible with #GDPR, thus banning #Office365 / #Microsoft365, #iCloud et. al. from the EU!

• And yes, this level of #retaliation is not only just, but #overdue, as we need @european_alternatives / #EuropeanAlternatives to #VISA, #AMEX, #MasterCard, #PayPal, #Steam, etc.

Given #Trump can't be assed to even fake any #loyality or #allied status even for the cameras, this is a #ForeseeableConsequence.

• As only with #Accountability and #Consequences will we see change, and punishing the GAFAMs is a neessity in this regard.

Unless we want to end up #downgraded into the state of a US-occupied overseas possession without statehood, like #Guam, #PuertoRico or #AVI...

#mona fügt längere Toots, Beiträge zusammen und beschränkt so nicht mehr auf die vorhandenen 500 Zeichen. Auch ist die Integration in das #apple Ökosystem vorbildlich gelöst. So werden Fotos, die man per drag & drop von seiner #icloud Bibliothek herüber zieht, automatisch in ein kompatibles Format umgewandelt. Auch der Upload von Fotos oder Videos gelingt idR. reibungsloser. (1/4)

#GoogleDrive oder #iCloud nutze ich eigentlich nur im Sinne eines tmp-Verzeichnisses.

Wenn diese Dienste wichtig werden, dann ist die Benutzung falsch.

I've been testing Jottacloud, aiming to find a replacement for my family iCloud setup.

I didn't find quite that, but I did find a true gem with a well-designed CLI tool for niche platforms, Apple TV app and overall good vibes.

Highly recommend them, and if you want to read more about my experience so far, here's a new blog post

Why would anyone in the world keep using #iCloud if the UK government would be granted a backdoor to retrieve the data of ALL USERS worldwide. What a ridiculous request. https://www.silicon.co.uk/e-regulation/surveillance/apple-to-appeal-uk-government-backdoor-order-on-friday-603825 #Security #InfoSec

UK’s secret iCloud backdoor order triggers civil rights challenge.

The UK government’s secret order to Apple demanding it backdoor the end-to-end encrypted version of its iCloud storage service is challenged by two civil rights groups, Liberty and Privacy International.

They called the order “unacceptable and disproportionate” and warned of “global consequences” as it's thought to extend to non-UK users too.
