Yep 🤦

After reading what the Dutch Parliament did I wrote off to my MP asking if she'd push for UK tech independence, or at least European.

Still waiting for a reply 🙄

As someone who proudly wore the Red Cross for many years as a volunteer I felt proud to be part of a global movement of Red Cross, Red Cresent & Red Crystal National Societies. Knowing that international law and the Geneva Conventions mean little to nothing to 'civilized' nations saddens me immensely.

I'm happy to let AI articulate what I want to say sometimes.

This is my prompt, but I like that AI can add the context around it, without the time it takes.

I want to add to the discussion on this article. I'd like to ask Lemmy what the tipping point will be for the masses to move the European software and tech. I hope the UK and other European countries can follow the Dutch after their Parliament called for independence from US tech

I'd welcome digital IDs, not on the immigration front, but on the convenience of a) having ID accessible without a wallet, and b) not needing to use a passport or driving licence for ID when some people can't get a driving licence and don't want to have to carry the passport for buying alcohol for example

With the growing concerns around digital sovereignty and the impact of policies like the CLOUD Act, it's clear that Europe needs to take control of its digital future. The Dutch Parliament's call for tech independence is a great start, and I hope other European countries follow.

But what will be the tipping point for the masses to shift towards European software and tech? Will it be a major data breach, stricter regulations, or a breakthrough innovation?

Investing in open-source technologies and local cloud infrastructures is crucial. What do you think will drive this change?

Do you think the euro's potential strengthening as a global reserve currency is a positive development? On one hand, it could offer diversification and stability benefits, but it might also introduce economic pressures and market volatility. Curious to hear your thoughts on the implications for both Europe and the global financial system!

While the "Buy British" campaign focuses on physical goods, we must also address our digital independence. The Dutch parliament's recent steps to reduce reliance on US software highlight the need for greater autonomy in our tech infrastructure. The UK should follow suit, promoting European tech solutions to enhance digital sovereignty and foster domestic innovation. Let's expand the conversation to include both economic and technological independence. I hope the Lib Dems continue to push this.

As an alternative to Coke you mention things like Fanta. I think it was developed in Germany after WW2 but it's still a Coca-Cola brand and surely the money still flows in to the US from the likes of buying Fanta.

I'm not really sure of the purpose of this site if I'm honest.

That maybe so, but why such an excessive stay? Stick her on a plane, sorted.
