A cross-party parliamentary commission aims to end dependence on US tech giants and increasingly rely on European open-source solutions.
It makes strategic sense to decouple from American tech now that they know we’ere an unreliable ally. Microslop won’t guarantee your data won’t go through American servers and jurisdictions. It’s also resistance to Tariff wars and Greenland bullshit that pokes the US in it’s conspirator industry, Big Tech.
I hope they follow through with it. And I also hope they allow for quick incremental changes instead of aiming for the perfect solution right away that will take a decade to develop and implement. Just to be clear, I think it should be the far goal to be fully independent from US and other non-EU software.
A break, not a breakthrough.

Calm down. It’s only about the IT operations of the parliament itself.
Not the whole country.

You need to start somewhere.
If it work, maybe the same solution will be adopted from other parts of the country.
