Europe should leave the USA in the dust

It won’t be a big bang, but a gradual change. It has already started.

- I'm transitioning my company away from Microsoft.
  Only CAD stations will remain under Microsoft and so far, is going well.
  
  CAD is a huge pain point for me as well. I used all sorts of packages from PTC when it was still called Pro/E to the Autodesk 3D solutions with a stint of NX in between. Nothing that works on Linux that isn’t o shape is usable for me. I genuinely tried working with freecad but it doesn’t fit me.

Yeah right... And they expect us to believe them based on....?

I think the MS comments have a lot of spin, they have had the capability to keep data in EU or country based silos for years (Source)
But the Nextcloud comment was interesting

The EU should begin pouring large amounts of money into open source solutions then.
Talk is cheap, but developed code is a dagger straight at one of the few American industries that still make things.

I saw that AWS also is pledging something similar.
Let all those responsible for IT in your company know that the CLOUD act, in the US, gives the government a prerogative access no matter where on earth the data is stored as long as the corporation is registered in the US, so European subsidiaries of US corporations do fall under the CLOUD act.

Triggered American bourgeois. Worth moving away for their reaction alone.

they stole skype and killed it, cry harder

Oh no ! Anyway...
