@notjustbikes@notjustbikes.comI am loving that things are finally moving to make European countries less dependent on US software (especially cloud providers), but I am disappointed that there isn't more of a focus on open source software.
There are several government programs within EU counties to fund the development of open source software. We need WAY more of that, coordinated at the EU level.
The best way to avoid being beholden to big tech is to fund viable open source alternatives.

Wait until they learn where Windows, MacOS, iOS or Android are made....
I really want to see them funding a new OS and completely ignore the linux world. Sounds like them 
@kkarhan@infosec.space@portaloffreedom @notjustbikes unlikely, cuz making a new OS & Kernel from scratch is absurdly expensive and costly if you want more than 1980s TUI...
- #Winfows, #macOS & #iOS are #CCSS-licensed #Govware, whereas #AOSP can at least be salvaged & degoogled, as @LineageOS & @GrapheneOS show...
I do however expect #Linux distros to become mainstream.
