“Economic growth no longer linked to carbon emissions in most of the world.."

Oh really?

1) Emissions of greenhouse gases are still rising
2) The degree of decoupling is far from enough
3) for the United Kingdom, the reduction 2015-2023 was -18.41%, average
-2.51% per year. To reach net zero emissions by 2050, an annual reduction of 10% is needed.
4) Those decoupling countries are not compensating for the growth in emissions elsewhere.

🚀🎉 Great news for those who think $50 is a steal for some metal in the cloud!💸 Apparently, "decoupling CPU, RAM, and Storage" is a revolutionary concept—not at all what every cloud provider has claimed since the dawn of time. 🙄 But hey, slap a new price tag on it and call it "Postgres innovation"! 🙈

Eurasia Group Chairman Ian Bremmer said the recent US-China summit is only a temporary truce, not a full breakthrough, with key issues like Taiwan and Russia left unaddressed and long-term decoupling trends persisting.

💸 More economic growth is not necessarily what we need to create economic security and social wellbeing in Europe.

Instead, together with @oxfamnovib, we offer eco-social welfare as an alternative. This approach involves the fair distribution of wealth, power and resources; investments in essential services; and centring of community wealth and practices of care.

Drawing on national and municipal examples across Europe, we highlight key transition paths needed for #decoupling welfare from growth and share strategic insights to advance a welfare agenda rooted in eco-social justice for all.

The Cloud and AI Development Act 'should embed a sovereignty provision that curtails the current “sovereignty-washing” practiced by US hyperscalers in partnership with European firms. Here, sovereignty means fostering genuine competence and capacity inside the Union, rather than relying on complex legal tricks that depend on foreign-controlled technology.'

"When essential goods are privatized and expensive, people need more income than they would otherwise require to access them. To get it they are compelled to increase their labour in capitalist markets, working to produce new things that may not be needed (with increased energy use, resource use, and ecological pressure) simply to access things that clearly are needed, and which are quite often already there."

"The European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud" aims to foster the development and deployment of next generation edge and cloud technologies." The Alliance brings together businesses, Member States representatives and experts. "The work of the Alliance is facilitated by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology #DGConnect."

A new thematic roadmap was released on 8 July 2025. This 68-page document proposes and details an action plan to position open source software as a pillar of the Union's strategy for strengthening its technological autonomy vis-à-vis non-European players.

The report starts by noting Europe's dependence in the cloud, edge and IoT sectors, and proposes 70 actions to try to remedy the situation. The most significant measures include:
• the introduction of a public procurement policy that systematically favours European open source solutions,
• the creation of a dedicated funding vehicle for critical projects,
• the application of open interoperability standards to counter vendor lock-in.

Alexandre Roure of the Computer & Communications Industry Association, whose members include many Big Tech groups, says the debate about blunt market access restrictions for non-EU tech companies “only distracts policymakers from the real task: finally delivering a functioning digital single market with clear, simple and practical rules”.

In private conversations, several Big Tech lobbyists and executives also express confidence in their ability to continue dominating the European market given the paucity of homegrown alternatives and the lack of urgency among many consumers.

Cloud migration converts universities “from being a source of technical innovation and knowledge distribution to consumers of services”—a fundamental shift that undermines academic independence and transforms knowledge-producing institutions into service-consuming clients.

How can organizations transition to open-source software?

Advices include:
• Start small with pilot programs.
• Rethink the procurement process.
• Invest in open-source education and training.
• Measure success in terms of the greater control over your digital infrastructure and the sustainable growth that open-source adoption brings.
