Cowardice at work! It is bullshit. We need to combat it pronto.
Europe needs to get independent from Google, Meta, Twitter, Windows, and Apple ASAP.

Not gonna happen, it's time to acknowledge it. Europe is weak and set in its ways. It doesn't want to lead but be a follower with a theatre of regulations that is not applied to big US corporations.
Europe would prefer to kill 10 of it's nascent cloud companies rather than push away Microsoft, Apple or Meta.
Expect the same in AI Access to European data.
It's all smokes and mirrors. We don't want to be eaten up by Russia and we don't want to fight. So we stay under the protection of uncle Sam in exchange for what we go all in deep into US tech and surveillance capitalism.
And we are sold cute stories about laws like GDPR or DMA that will never be applied and ridiculously small penalties for the few cases that make it to court.

Microsoft’s vise grip on the delicate bits of clueless paper-pushers continues unabated.
Their products have never been “good”. In a best case scenario they didn’t actively destroy the work that was being done with them.
The reason they are a behemoth, besides being openly a monopoly, was their laser focus on baffling executives with bullshit and hiding any gruesome facts they were forced to reveal in the tiniest print EULAs anyone has ever not seen.
I see EU is just as susceptible to it, and that is truly sad.
Oh my, this surprises me so, so much...
