European companies like Airbus, Dassault, and OVHcloud apparently want Europe to reduce its dependence on US tech companies.
Thoughts?
We’re going to entering the find out stage of the USA’s fucking around pretty damn soon.
I hate that I live here and have to face consequences for something I was vehemently and vocally against.
These 100 companies are leaders in the IT space. High time to pool our resources and finally build ourselves a sovereign IT system.
Open source and copyleft please.
Multipolarism is good for everyone. Even if you hate the EU, it is a good thing for no single country to dominate everything from culture to technology.
US techies also call for that. Y’know. Just. For completeness’ sake.
Wise, but long overdue.
Learn from the best of the US example and leapfrog from using opensource and the best of the Chinese example using open hardware.
There are so many places where good FOSS and FOSH investments can act as public infrastructure for an entire economy. After that just fostering good education so that more people can leverage and improve on it and we might really see a Renaissance
Sounds good to me. The plutocrats in my country need to be taken down a few notches, and I’m already looking for ways to spend as little as I can in US companies (except local small businesses).
This thing must have been done years ago, not after the reelection of Trump. Now, these big techs will try everything to weaken or destroy the EU.
Like AWS? So long Bezos.
After having finally migrated everything to azure and AWS, will we have to go back on premise ? 🫢
Well, I saw an article some time ago about a company going back to on premise and I guess there may be some movement there, not sure how big it is. Cloud can be great but can also be expensive and kill your company if done with premature scalability in mind or simply by careless engineers.
