@sun My impression of European "tech sovereignty" is that it's mostly European tech bros trying to wish a bay area type tech industry into existence there
@scathach @sun no, they are commies using free software as vehicle for their political agenda (i remotely know one or two active in this space). they think state owned/mandated infrastructure is good because currently the state is doing what they like. they hate freedom, they always put libertarianism/voluntaryism in the "nazi" corner - of course while larping as anarchists (because pop culture said it's cool). also they want free government money.
@scathach @sun I've been to some european tech conferences and talked to people about this and I think it's more like 'we should replace all the american parts of our stack with european publicly funded alternatives'
They definitely do not want our tech industry, funds, or our work culture, there is no jealousy over that.
