That’s not what I’m saying. They forgot that cloud compute isn’t the only area where America holds EU by the balls. It’s also the software. You can set up 500 data centers all over Europe and companies still won’t migrate away from M365 or GWorkspace. Cloud compute is good, but there also needs to be an effort to reverse engineer American technology and start offering alternatives.

Many companies are currently migrating away from MS/Google. LibreOffice, Collabora, LaTeX, ...
Is latex really an alternative? Sure it is, but it's not very user friendly, which makes that it can't be a larg scale alternative.
