Whatever this European tech sovereignty formulates into DO NOT give us European Big Tech.
Open protocols, open standards, open source. Like the 1990s internet I enjoyed as a kid. The European governments finance the projects and largely leave us the fuck alone.
No gods. No masters. ✊

@anttipeltola I am sure they will obey you.

@anttipeltola the #4opens is a good test.
Use #4opens as a litmus test, not a manifesto. It works best like this: “Cool project. Let’s do a quick sanity check.” is it: Open code? Open data? Open standards? Open governance? If the answers get vague, defensive, or managerial, that’s your signal. You don’t need to argue, simply don’t invest trust or energy. Capture starves quietly when it isn’t fed.

@anttipeltola I've been a big fan of open standards since just after the term "open software" came into being.

@anttipeltola further decentralization would be beneficial too. That would be best served with self-hosting, which also would benefit from symmetric internet speeds, and by now, it would need IPv6 everywhere.

@anttipeltola I share your values, but the issue in that plan is that big moonshots and major technical improvements need multi year huge investments at loss. And that requires a company with a big enough budget that it can afford that loss.
So if we don’t want big techs we need to find another model to fund big moonshots.

Most of the open-source software you are using was built with no funding. Only volunteer work. Giving a few hundred thousand EUR grants to these projects is nothing for European governments.

@anttipeltola I am an open source maintainer myself. Even on some projects with significant funding. “Volunteer work” is not a sustainable model. I maintain OSS software in my spare time and when I have the energy to do so. But that’s not what pays my bills and I honestly know zero OSS maintainers that are able to live decently purely on donations
