More choice = better. On the other hand, Germany and France are both getting uncomfortably close to having neo-Nazi governments, with AfD and RN respectively being both very pro-Russia, anti-EU and aligned with Trump policies (even though Le Pen can't say it too loudly because of her party's historical anti-Americanism).

I hope these efforts to create a EU infrastructure succeed, but on the other hand big investments on AI:

  1. take time that I'm not sure we have

  2. sound exactly like the technocratic solutions "far from the real problems of the people" that these parties love to exploit to gain votes and get to power

Can you elaborate on the connection between "national" cloud initiatives and Nazi/Putin fans? I don't get it.
