I’m getting nervous about bullshit titles.
Precisely that is why America cajoled and pressured Europe for decades to just let them do the ‘hard work’ of researching manufacturing providing and benefiting from doing the big tech, the military and the investments in economy – to have influence over Europe l, access and of course all the benefit of profits and tech and might
And Europe accepted it because of short term less expense for all this and reliance for decades on all crucial aspects on America
Very convenient but very naive
Only France had the sense to do a lot of heavy lifting in research investment and actual manufacturing to maintain some level of independence and therefore power and influence
Imagine the price wars that will erupt from American big techs arse falling out.
Suddenly, Adobe would be able to sell individual licenses again. Office may actually exist without some bullshit adverts or premium charge, google may reinstate “dont be evil” as its mantra.
And i’ll sit at home, paying for European tech instead regardless. Because fuck American consumerism.
In one or two decades most of the world will have ditched US companies proprietary software for open-source software.
Good. The whole windows 11 forced upgrade bullshit needs to stop.
Join us today on the journey!

Could the EU declare it illegal for US companies to operate in Europe, to force them to split off their European holdings into Europe–based companies?
No matter what, we pay way too much for these public network services and no matter the POTUS it’s a major security risk to be reliant on foreign nations for key government business.
Slowly this industry was created bit by bit and department after department bought services independently with little oversight, now we’re stuck with Microsoft being able to shut our entire nations down, what power they have.
We would never allow this madness if the system was built today as one purchase..
is it though? everyone uses their products, most of the biggest companies rely on Azure. There is no viable alt yet
Timely! I just transitioned to Linux last night. It’s my first new OS since I went from DOS to Windows in 96! It feels amazing to ditch Microsoft. Linux is so lean and nice. Why have I not done this before?
