亲爱的美国朋友们，请不要误解我的意思——我热爱美国，在那里有朋友，也珍藏着在那里度过的美好回忆。然而，美国似乎正在变成一个流氓、专制的国家，越来越像俄罗斯，对俄罗斯更加友好，对欧洲则充满敌意。我是一个在仍被俄罗斯占领的国家长大的欧洲人。我越来越担心在基于美国平台的项目上进行开发，使用美国的操作系统等等。如果美国真的攻击格陵兰岛，或者找到另一种方式公开敌视欧洲怎么办？我不是说这一定会发生。我只是说，做好准备似乎是明智之举。你会怎么做？目前，我无法完全摆脱对美国的依赖，但我希望尽量减少这种接触。对于诸如建立 Visa/万事达卡的替代方案之类的事情，我无能为力（除了等待数字欧元），所以我将专注于我真正能做的事情，而忽略诸如我的政府购买 F-35 战斗机并将我的健康数据交给 Palantir 之类的事情。 * 手机——没有真正的欧洲替代品；只有苹果和谷歌。使用安卓系统的三星或 HTC 似乎是一个不那么糟糕的选择。 * 操作系统——我使用 Linux 已经很久了，摆脱 Windows 似乎相对容易。 * 社交网络——在现任美国政府之前，我就开始讨厌它们了，从未使用过 TikTok 或 Instagram，而且在马斯克收购 Twitter 之后，我基本停止使用 Facebook 和 Twitter。 * Stripe 支付——这会很难，但我正在尝试使用我们当地的支付处理商，到目前为止，它似乎出乎意料地可行，但它不像 Stripe 那样是经过实战检验的解决方案。 * Clerk 身份验证——可行，但需要大量工作和担忧。 * AWS——我在 AWS 上有一次出乎意料的糟糕体验，然后切换到了一家本地供应商，它的功能少了很多（而我基本不需要），但支持好很多。 * GitHub、Cloudflare……天啊，我们欧洲人怎么能允许自己如此依赖任何人？我接触的一切都是美国的。 * Gmail——这会很难（二十年的电子邮件）。有什么建议吗？ * 任何与人工智能相关的东西——完蛋了，我在这里迷失了方向。我遗漏了什么/忘记了什么？如果我是你，会怎么做？我真的希望你们能把它当作一个头脑风暴练习，而不是对美国的攻击。我真的很爱美国，希望它的民主比目前看起来的更有韧性。编辑：请尽量保持回复的实用性。我们不要把它变成政治讨论。你可以把它当作一个“如果”的练习，即使你认为现任美国政府所做的事情很棒，欧洲人活该等等。

Dear Americans, please don’t take this the wrong way - I love the US, have friends there, and treasure memories I made there.However, it seems plausible that the US is turning into a rogue, authoritarian, Russia-like state increasingly more friendly towards Russia and hostile towards Europe. I am a European who grew up in a country still occupied by Russia. I am increasingly more worried about building my projects on American platforms, using an American operating system, etc.What if the US actually attacks Greenland or finds another way to be openly hostile to Europe? I am not saying it will happen. All I am saying is that it seems prudent to prepare. How would you do it?It is currently impossible to unhook myself from the US, but I would like to minimize exposure.I can’t do anything about things like building an alternative to VISA/MasterCard (except wait for the digital Euro), so I will focus on things I can actually do and ignore things like my government buying F-35s and possibly giving my health data to Palantir.* Mobile phone - there are no real European alternatives; it’s just Apple vs Google. Samsung or HTC with Android seems like a less bad option.* Operating system - I have been using Linux for ages, getting rid of Windows seems relatively easy.* Social networks - I grew to hate them before the current US admin, never used TikTok or Instagram, and I mostly stopped using Facebook and Twitter around the time Musk bought Twitter.* Stripe for payments - this will be hard, but I am experimenting with our local payment processor, and so far it seems surprisingly doable, but it is not a battle-tested solution like Stripe.* Clerk authentication - doable, but a lot of work and worrying* AWS - I had a surprisingly bad experience with AWS and switched to a local provider with a lot less functionality (that I mostly do not need) and a lot better support* GitHub, Cloudflare... dear God, how could we Europeans allow ourselves to be that dependent on anyone? Everything I touch is American.* Gmail - this will be hard (two decades of emails). Any advice?* Anything AI-related - fuuu, I am lost here.What am I missing/forgetting? What do/would you do in my place?I really hope you will take this as a brainstorming exercise and not an attack on America. I really do love the US and hope its democracy turns out to be more resilient than it currently seems.EDIT: Please kindly keep responses practical. Let’s not turn this into a political discussion. You might approach it as a “what if” exercise, even if you think what the current US admin is doing is great, Europeans deserve what they get, etc.
