After ruining UK with the catastrophic Brexit that was filled with nothing but lies - why is Farage still relevant and not in jail, hung, beheaded or thrown in front of any kind of rodent?

then maybe Europe should retailiate by tariffs ov 250% on ANYTHING american - including ALL software services. And, if they don’t pay immediately - what about rate-limiting their bandwidth until they pay proper taxes in Europe?

If they still block - SOME of their hardware is in European datacenters. We - Europe - plan on building our own big IT infrastructure. So, to quote Age of Empires:

“Nice cloud server - I’ll take it.” - and seize ALL the american IT hardware we’ve got here.

Let them sue…

that’s the Axel Schulz-strategy (the famous, german boxer who came up with the plan "I’ll simply slam my head against the opponent’s fist until he gets tired. Then…I’ve won!)

…and as IRIS² was supposed to launch with SpaceX, but thanks to Musk-madness we’ll stick with Ariane, VEGA and so on, Arianespace/Airbus can’t believe their luck right now.

They’ve been WAY behind SpaceX and their price offerings, but with the far-right moron Elon shitting around like that, the only rational choice is to launch with our own (old, low-performing) launch systems.

Another reminder: We HAVE to push development in so many sectors we’ve neglected in the past. Same goes for Social Networks. Mastodon and Lemmy are nice, so is pixelfed. But we need an OpenSource, Europe-hosted and -controlled Facebook alternative as well. And we need a proper replacement for PayPal and Amazon for and by Europe as well.
