Migrating cloud servers to European hosters. Give EU money to improve/build a linux desktop. Use that desktop in government, schools, universities… (instead of Windows). Fork Firefox. Host fediverse services and use them where the governments use Twitter / TikTok / Insta.

Harder: Mandate for mobile phones with a user installable OS (Cyanogen etc.) Force tech companies to provide total transparency about data usage. Cancel any safe harbor agreements.

In the end, everything the Open Source crowd wished for.

Btw, I’d have no issues with American / Russian / China hosted open source stuff when we can review what it does. Ah, ok, a “european code review agency” might be a thing.

We need our own tech stack, that is at least verifyable. It’s due time to kick out the American tech giants from government projects etc.

With America possibly becoming the new Russia it is just not safe to rely on Microsoft, Apple, Aws etc.

We need an Europan open source stack.
