So because software and hardware is in US control, we can’t trust even the intent of the company. Yea shit, okay that makes sense. (Thank you for a very good and understandable explanation!)

But say if, a EU alternative is developed by Hungary and in use, what’s stopping it from essensially doing their Russian sock puppet thing? 🤔

Is there any alternative that works without open sourcing, or maybe monitoring any data that goes outside of the EU? Because the second alternative is dystopian, I’d much rather prefer the first - but it seems implausible

So when they say “Microsoft is headquartered in the United States, but we provide cloud services to Europe through corporate entities headquartered in Europe.” (Point 2) and continues that it will be run by a european board of directors…

Do you know what happened to mcdonalds in russia after the american company left? They rebranded and continued on like normal.

Isn’t this like having the system set up so that a gun to the head of microsoft US doesn’t matter?

You know. Considering the unlikelyness of ever getting off microsoft - it is a very reassuring thing that at least volatility in US isn’t going to harm statewide over here

I would still say that “roots in neo-facism” is wrong, as it is more roots in Mussolini, but yes. it’s wrong to say it’s the party. Again. good correction.

[MISINFORMATION - Read the comment under by Cano] “Roots in neo-fascism” no, the party is the party that mussulini had in ww2. That’s not roots in neo-anything. That’s just plain roots in fascism. Also ahe is the granddaughter of the facism guy, sooo

Once again, science and actual thinking is outcompeted by bigotry. They don’t even know what biological gender is…

Oh yea, this is the same myth that “business” always gives… that wage or tax rises will cause them to fire people.

Didn’t happen in calefornia with their minimum wage 🤷 - and now here jobs are already lost.

Well, I think the first step is to talk about lobbyism, and who owns the media. Maybe even try to talk about how to see the world in decades not years. 🤔 but it’s hard…

Tbh it is a natural consequence of lemmy, and not a bad thing. The fediverse is decentralized, and intended such. It fosters a sort of “competition”
