The EU needs to use some of those billions they’re throwing around to heavily incentivize digital startups. I want the possibility to fully detach from US companies before Trumps term ends.
They already fund a lot of open projects. I would rather they do more of that instead of shoving money down the throat of shitty for profit tech startups. Privacy laws are on track to suffer quite a bit in the next few years so we need more lock-in free infrastructure.
You posted your comment on a platform funded by the EU. Not feddit.org or lemm.ee, but lemmy itself (though as I gather sunaurus himself is getting funds for development, the EU isn't funding instances, though, just the development).
