&lt;p>A quick follow-up to my &lt;a href="https://siryu.me/posts/usa-lock-in/">previous piece on USA lock-in&lt;/a>. That article ended on a call to action: Europe needs to stop building on American infrastructure, and the smartest path forward is public investment in open-source foundations. Since then, two projects have caught my eye — one federal, one industry-led — and both prove that Europe &lt;em>is&lt;/em> moving, and that the momentum is real. They also, unfortunately, prove that the reflex to build sovereign tools on top of the very platforms we&amp;rsquo;re trying to escape is still with us.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>The USA Lock-In: When Tech Dependency Becomes Geopolitical Vulnerability</title><link>https://siryu.me/posts/usa-lock-in/</link><pubDate>Mon, 19 Jan 2026 11:12:13 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://siryu.me/posts/usa-lock-in/</guid><description>&lt;p>&lt;img src="https://siryu.me/assets/usa-lock-in.png" alt="Cover image">&lt;/p>
&lt;p>I often say that &amp;ldquo;everything is political,&amp;rdquo; and I&amp;rsquo;ve never been able to fully separate tech from politics—this article is no exception. I promise I&amp;rsquo;ll try to publish more purely technical posts soon, but in the current context, it&amp;rsquo;s hard to focus on anything else. For context: I&amp;rsquo;m French, and this perspective comes from someone watching the United States from outside its borders.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>I won&amp;rsquo;t dwell on the current president&amp;rsquo;s domestic policies—despite the tragedy unfolding for many American citizens, that&amp;rsquo;s not the focus here. However, Umberto Eco&amp;rsquo;s checklist in &amp;ldquo;Ur-Fascism&amp;rdquo;&lt;sup id="fnref:1">&lt;a href="#fn:1" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">1&lt;/a>&lt;/sup> seems pretty well checked&amp;hellip; But let&amp;rsquo;s examine the recent geopolitical events and decisions:&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
