Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Getting off US tech: a guide

Getting off US tech isn’t always an easy feat, and I don’t think it’s useful to be a purist. US tech is everywhere and it’s very hard to fully extricate oneself, which is why governments need to step in.
But I still think there’s value in making the effort.

Ireland’s experience with data centers is a warning to us all for the consequences of the tech industry’s ambitions. They want to do what they’ve already done in Ireland everywhere else too — and we shouldn’t stand for it. Great to speak with Brid Smith to learn more.
Ireland is at the forefront of the fight against data centers, as they consume more than 20% of the country’s electricity.
Up next in our premium interviews from DATA VAMPIRES is Irish TD Brid Smith!
