       @AlisonCreekside This is a stark reminder that when you use proprietary software or cloud services from US-based corporations, you’re not just a customer—you’re a subject of US law, whether you like it or not. The only way to truly reclaim control over your data is to switch to free and open-source software (FOSS) and self-hosted solutions.GNU/Linux isn’t just about avoiding Windows; it’s about choosing a system where you have the freedom to audit, modify, and control your own computing environment. Distros like Debian, Fedora, or Ubuntu offer user-friendly alternatives that respect your privacy. Pair that with tools like Nextcloud for file storage, Signal or Matrix for communication, and LibreOffice for productivity, and you’ve got a fully sovereign digital life.The best part? You’re not just protecting yourself—you’re supporting a global movement for digital rights and transparency. It’s time to vote with your devices. #Microsoft #Canada #France #UnitedStates #USA #privacy #DataPrivacy #Privacy #DigitalRights #DataSovereignty #SelfHosted @GNULinux #Debian #Fedora #Ubuntu #Nextcloud #Signal #Matrix #LibreOffice #DigitalFreedom #TechSovereignty #PrivacyMatters #OpenSourceSoftware #DataPrivacy #DigitalIndependence

       @debby @AlisonCreeksideIt would be nice, if #freeSoftware people and projects would leave #MSGitHub and #MSLinkedIn, btw.Using those services could be interpreted as endorsement of the company's actions and behaviour by some.
