I love how blissfully ignorant Microsoft is being about how much they have doomed themselves to IBM status. Still a meaningful entity but no longer a leader in anything.

Really interested to see what emerges from the chaos. Lisuan seems like a very viable upstart to fill the void Nvidia and AMD are currently leaving open if they can scale up their fabs and do the standard Chinese business tactic of flooding the market. Apple has only spent a fraction of what Microsoft and Google has while still maintaining their ocean of cash so its possible the ghost of Steve will have the last laugh? Linux is getting a lot of praise from notable tech influencers aimed at the general market, for example LinusTechTips, which may nudge Linux into stratospheric heights like 8% market share. Or perhaps it will become like metric vs imperial where the planet uses some flavor of Linux while the USA grudgingly holds onto Windows?

The really big one to watch is if the EU can digitize its monetary system enough to replace the VISA/Mastercard GDP vampires.

Google is trying to shut the gates on their walled garden and are lobbying hard to prevent an anti-trust lawsuit. Same with Apple's app store. They're hoping to lock in users and institutions and then there's nothing we can do except pay more and more to google and apple while they do less and less while extracting and selling even more of our data.

Indeed. I have been hearing a lot of bad things are in the pipeline with Android being laced with "AI" plus as you mentioned Google is trying to close the doors. FDroid has been screaming bloody murder but I bet you the majority of people who read this sentence probably don't even know what that is, never mind Google is trying to shut it down.

France doing the right thing

It's probably the highest priority in geopolitics and national defense at the moment.

I'd like to see more coordination between middling powers on this front across software and cloud computing.
