European tech industry coalition calls for 'radical action' on digital sovereignty — starting with buying local (techcrunch.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://sopuli.xyz/post/23996234

The rallying call to put European tech first — backed by companies including Airbus, Element, OVHCloud, Murena, Nextcloud, and Proton, to name a few — follows the shock of the Munich security conference, where U.S. Vice President JD Vance tore into Europe like an attack dog, leaving delegates in no doubt that the post-War international order is in tatters and all bets are off when it comes to what the U.S. might do under President Donald Trump.

Key tech infrastructure that’s owned and operated by U.S. companies doesn’t look like such a solid buy, from a European perspective, if a presidential executive order can be issued forcing U.S. firms to switch off service provision or terminate a supply chain at a pen stroke.

“Imagine Europe without internet search, email, or office software. It would mean the complete breakdown of our society. Sounds unrealistic? Well, something similar just happened to Ukraine,” Wolfgang Oels, COO of the Berlin-based, tree-planting search engine Ecosia — one signatory to the letter that was already taking steps aimed at reducing its dependency on U.S. Big Tech suppliers — tells TechCrunch.

There are some amazing sneaker brands from Europe. Few of them are :

Adidas and puma is obviously my fav but there are many others.

Please share your fav European brand for our sneaker heads :)

What European email services do you use?

Please recommend other interesting email services by your experience.

I have switched from Google's Gmail to ProtonMail and kMail. I really like both, kMail (by Infomaniak) have very similar app interface to Gmail so you will get used to it very fast and also have big storage for free and very good offers for paid plans 👍🏼

Seems great!

You may want to maybe start a dedicated community and/or Matrix space, it might be easier to organize than here

I kind of see where they come from too, but the way they present it just seems strange

I never really understood how it's managed. I guess Twitter allows you to see a tiny bit of content but then login walls you when you try to navigate

Twitter was closing read access so only members could /read/ posts.

It is indeed the case

Creating a new platform would take time. Mastodon is there, the European Commission already has an instance: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission
