       I think that's a no-brainer right now that Europe should pursue digital sovereignty  aggressively.It's not about MS Office vs Libre Office, it's about banking apps, cloud services,  your phone, your daily life. Which is a way bigger leverage #Trump has about your daily life. #FOSS is security.#linux

       It always seemed like a nerdy thing that German cities switched to Linux. Unnecessary. But if there are billions to spend on arms and the military we should invest in Linux admins and foss infrastructure. Make banks develop alternatives to iOS and Android apps. Invest in a foss mobile os. Don't give the key to your life to powers that can turn malicious without any notice.

       And I know I'm preaching to the choir here on Mastodon. But it should make its way into the mainstream as well.

       I'm not sure if you are aware, but the European Commission is doing a "public consultation" on open source software right now.I posted publicly my submission, which is very much in line with your thinking: https://pkteerium.xyz/@cjd/posts/B2DM565r1wuRFD1EbgBut the more people who give submissions, the more they will pay attention.
