Not Just Bikes 🇳🇱

I am loving that things are finally moving to make European countries less dependent on US software (especially cloud providers), but I am disappointed that there isn't more of a focus on open source software.

There are several government programs within EU counties to fund the development of open source software. We need WAY more of that, coordinated at the EU level.

The best way to avoid being beholden to big tech is to fund viable open source alternatives.

I'll call you Jason "viable alternative" Slaughter from now on 🤪

Just kidding. I agree 100% . We need viable alternatives in many more areas, beyond software and transportation.
