But no one ever said it would be. Where do all these strawmen and hyperscaler astroturfing come from? Honestly. I will need to write on #EuroStack as all the takes on here are so bad.

@okwithmydecay among many timeless phrases... "personal consumption choices are not moral; you don't change the world by shopping hard" - in response to Aaron Bastani's apology for using an i-phone during the section on the post American internet. #eurostack gets a shout here too.

@nixCraft it might (not) be the best phone since sliced 🍞, but as an #EU member state national I believe this #jollaphone initiative deserves our support and investment. Let's get this first batch built 🙌🏼 #sailfishos #eurostack

Die Wirtschaftsforschung von Asterès beziffert die Abhängigkeit Europas von US-amerikanischer Software und Cloud-Diensten als einen jährlichen wirtschaftlichen Abfluss von 264 Milliarden Euro. Dieser massive Kapitalabfluss sichert fast zwei Millionen Arbeitsplätze in den USA. #draghiReport #euroStack #EUpolitics

Europa verfügt über das sogenannte Humankapital, einen großen Binnenmarkt (470 Millionen Menschen) und Innovationskraft.

Was fehlt, sind ein gemeinsamer Kapitalmarkt und politische Führung.

@carl Thanks for sharing Carl. Not knowing the roundtable you went to, I'm generally cautiously critical of the #Eurostack framing. Too much emphasis on making stuff geographically European and pumping money I to #EU-based industry. Too much Us versus Them. Too little consideration of what kind of European industry we'd be funding, their ethics, human rights impact, etc. And yes, too much #AI because "innovation." 🤷

La Free Software Foundation Europe ha presentato una dichiarazione nell’ambito della consultazione pubblica lanciata del governo tedesco riguardante lo “Germany Stack”. Rispetto alla proposta della FSFE aggiungiamo solo che l’unica alternativa possibile allo strapotere delle Big Tech non può che essere uno “Stack Europeo”. La sovranità o sarà europea o non sarà.

Cristina Caffarra er hovedarkitekten bag en europæisk 🇪🇺 techplan, som 🇩🇪 og 🇫🇷 har taget til sig

Den vil – stik imod de officielle forsikringer – rulle EU-reglerne tilbage

Økonomen Cristina Caffarra er en af hovedarkitekterne bag #Eurostack, et initiativ, der samler europæiske techselskaber, forskere, og investorer om at løsne amerikanernes digitale greb om EU

Hendes plan blev tirsdag udråbt til vejen frem for Europa på et topmøde mellem Tyskland og Frankrig

The French-German Digital Sovereignty Summit yesterday was really inspiring. The topic of Open Source, European Sovereignty and Ethical AI is now discussed on the highes political level.
I’m also happy that I was able to discuss Open Source and Digital Sovereignty with Chancellor Merz, President Macron and Minister Wildberger during a roundtable yesterday evening.

#digitalsovereignty #EuroStack #AI #EUSummit #digitalministerium #OpenSource #Nextcloud

Chancellor Merz, President Macron and entourage have arrived at #EUsummit25. 🇩🇪🇫🇷

Merz so far mentions that we are too dependent on foreign powers such as China and the US, and that we need European innovation like #Eurostack. 🇪🇺

Merz: "Because of our size and position, Germany and France carry a special responsibility to realize digital sovereignty."

Macron: "Europe doesn't to be the clients of foreign big tech. We want to design our own solutions."
