Is #Europe finally ready to break its "#Digital #Dependency"? 🇪🇺💻
The European #Parliament just voted 471-68 to back a massive shift toward Digital #Sovereignty. With a proposed €10B Sovereign #Technology Fund and a "Public Money, Public Code" mandate, the #EU is taking aim at the dominance of US tech giants.

Сервисы — место, где живет бизнес-логика II
Здравствуйте! Это вторая часть из серии статей « Сервисы — место, где живет бизнес логика ». Если Вы еще не знакомы с первой частью , то рекомендую начать с нее, чтобы у вас сложилась общая картина. Сегодня мы постараемся ответить на все оставшиеся вопросы: познакомимся с прекрасной, легковесной DI-библиотекой , научимся « инжектить » в Django , посмотрим на несколько дашбордов в Кибане и поговорим про доменные модели.

Owned, Extorted, and Gaslit - Dave Keating on breaking with Atlanticism. EU Scream [podcast]
Since returning to the White House on Jan. 20, Donald Trump has imposed one-sided tariffs on the European Union, forced the bloc to commit to buying vast quantities of American natural gas, and effectively threatened annexation of Greenland. The latest indignity for Europe includes a White House National Security Strategy that calls on far-right parties to muster patriotic resistance to European policies. Instead of standing up to this blatant foreign interference, EU leaders have repeatedly tried to appease Trump and avoid any possible escalations of tension — even at the cost of their dignity. Examples include European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen weakening EU environmental and digital regulations in line with American demands, and NATO Secretary General Marc Rutte addressing Trump as “daddy” in front of the world’s media. Trump may be the proximate cause of this annus horribilis for the EU. But the reasons for subservience run far deeper, says Dave Keating, a broadcaster and the author of a new book, The Owned Continent. A key factor is US command and control over the NATO military alliance, which Europe has relied on for protection from Russia for nearly eight decades. Trump and Maga are now openly exploiting that military dependency, amid Russia’s assault on Ukraine, to block European regulation of tech oligarchs and fossil fuels. “Never before has there been an explicit connection from the US government between the military protectorate and EU policy,” says Dave, who says the extortion is “a first” for the Trump administration. Another factor behind the European reluctance to treat the US in a more adversarial fashion, even as Maga amps up its belligerence, is the pervasiveness of American culture through cinema, news media, social media and streaming platforms. “Europeans are inundated by American culture from birth” says Dave. That also makes it “hard to accept that the US is a threat.” Freeing Europe from its long vassalage is a strategic priority that starts with creation sovereign EU defense capabilities, says Dave. But that would require acknowledging that France was right to resist reliance on US military systems and hardware. It also would require Europe to make a decisive break with Atlanticism, an ideology that prioritizes NATO and that remains deeply entrenched among EU elites and in Poland and the Baltics. But Atlanticism may be an increasingly hard sell. It relies on increasingly implausible assumptions: that the US will keep large numbers of troops in Europe and uphold its mutual defense commitment under the NATO treaty despite abundant evidence otherwise. “At what point do citizens say, ‘enough is enough, we’ve had it with these centrist European leaders lying to us, gaslighting us’?” Dave asks. “If Europeans keep electing these people, then they are signing their own death warrant as a sovereign continent.”

"Social safety net" sounds compassionate until you realise:
The net is made of chains.
The safety comes with surveillance.
The help comes with dependency.
The exit is blocked by penalties.
It's not a net.
It's a trap.

Remember XKCD’s legendary dependency comic? I finally built the thing we all joked about. - (stacktower.io)
Just as Europe's dependence on Russian gas caused issues at the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, so too does reliance on foreign software and hardware components. That is true for every country in the world and all hardware and software. For software, only open-source can provide protection, whereas hardware requires a diverse supply chain.

In the list of Organizations that really shouldn't be using cloud services or services that integrate intransparent AI, NATO certainly would rank relatively high.
Or maybe it is a sign that Google vs. Microsoft is about to heat up.

No need to worry about what happens if the US cuts off a nation from Google, ChatGPT, or Facebook. Instead, worry about what happens if they cut off AWS and Azure. The latest outages really highlighted our dependencies on these privacy nightmares and hyper-scalers.
