One recent article referred to President Trump as “Big Tech’s Personal Lobbyist,” for his efforts to undermine U.S. state and international efforts to regulate or tax the enormous wealth of digital economy giants.

Yeah, in that case, can we PLEASE stop using Microsoft and Google for EVERYTHING?

I am dreaming of switching the company away from Microsoft, use next cloud for storage, use any opensource product for all our requirements but we can't.

All health services and companies here use Microsoft and as Microsoft ensures incompatibility with everything not Microsoft, we can't move away from it

I HATE teams, it's useless shit, but everyone and their mother here uses it so how can we dump it? Hint: if we still want to have customers, we can't.

Seriously, make it a fucking government mandate to NOT use US tech companies, make it a mandate to use open source wherever possible.

I know it's a lot of work, and it will take a few years to complete, but it can be done, it's not that hard. What's missing is the will power to resist Microsoft marketing
