  to summarize:

  • activists don’t like the US’ dominance in tech clouds and services, obviously
  • reducing the effect of US tech in europe would mean that smaller european companies have a chance at competing as well
  • national security hawks don’t like having essential services depend on the US either

  This really needs to get widely seen. It is indeed hopeful, in a good way.

    It’s pretty wild, because this is genuinely great politics and great policy. It’s weird that folks haven’t realized this and acted on it yet. Fingers crossed.

      TLDR: US forced everyone to pass anti-circumvention laws by threatening tariffs. Now that the US has unilaterally imposed tariffs on everyone, why ot repeal those laws?

    Yeah, it’s kinda like how you can go years without hearing any stories about someone winning a medal at the Olympics then suddenly the news is full of stories about people winning Olympic medals. Clearly it’s a conspiracy.

    CCC just wrapped up two days ago. events.ccc.de/congress/2025/infos/startpage.html

    This happens every year with CCC, Defcon, and Blackhat. There are always interesting talks and you get a slew of posts from interested people.

    It’s a major hacker community centric event. The biggest in Europe. It could be that the community just likes it. 🤷‍♀️

    It’s mainly that the event only just ended and the talk recordings were just released.

    The chaos communication congress is a non commercial volunteer run event. They don’t need marketing, because they sell out quickly.
