Always used Ubuntu server and would always recommend that to newbies.
It is happening as a transition with existing personnel and maybe new contracts with consultants and agencies. They might offer new jobs under terms like “cloud native developer” and put a later emphasis in European technologies.
Supports my point 😭
Sources for such claims would be nice.
Virtually no other news source has those companies in the headlines, at least not in the context of backing the reforms.
Edit: one source but no investments mentioned https://www.nzz.ch/wirtschaft/wichtige-konzerne-wollen-800-milliarden-euro-in-deutschland-investieren-sie-loben-die-merz-regierung-fordern-aber-noch-mehr-ld.10015986
That's just, how I read your text 🤷♂️
And yes, it is fine to disagree.
Defense is shifting largely, and many non-EU countries are following. I don't see your criticism.
This "urgently" and so forth.. this hasty approach, leads to mentioned hardship and cold turkey.
EU is already doing a lot, while appeasing. There's a lot of investment in chip industry (e.g. RISC-V) happening and European companies like ASML are putting up against bullying. Communications and defense is more European than ever, e.g. with the frequency bands denied for SpaceX or big invests in Eutelsat...
This is just a scratch but there are a lot of things going on. Enough things to read the room, if you're willing to.
I disagree. There is happening a lot and detangling complex systems takes time.
I don’t get why people think cold turkey diplomacy is beneficial for anyone. People have to plan 5-10 years for transitioning or accept hardship for the citizens, what results in problems by itself.
Mm.. irgendwie weniger verkehrswendig als erhofft.
Or be more strategic.
Fake compliance and strengthen our position, just like we’re doing. Newer deals exclude the USA more and more, their economical basis is vaning.
So it's a whole ass site, with just AI slop summaries?
Most likely.
Spricht für die Qualität der möglichen Gesetzgebung.
Schön im letzten Moment die Schmudelparagraphen und Schweineklauseln reinschreiben und „friss oder stirb“ schreien 🎉
How the turn tables.

I know there are a dozen of different "EU Alternatives" websites/catalogs already and some of them are actually great for discovering European brands and software. But they never show you what's inside: you only get a name, a logo, a few lines long pitch and then you're on your own.
So after doing some due diligence I've built a more detailed one. Whether you just want a European Dropbox/Google Analytics/1Password etc or you need to know your customers' data won't leave the EU, the idea is the same: give you what you need after the name, not just the name.
Two features I have that surface-level lists do not:
- I show the exposure, not just the "European" label. That word hides the part that matters. A company can have a Berlin office, a "hosted in the EU" banner, and still route your data through a US analytics provider or sit on US-owned cloud — at which point US law reaches it regardless of where the rack is. So for every listing I check, and link the source for:
- Where the data is actually hosted — the data-centre region, not the HQ on the about page.
- The sub-processor list — the one nobody reads. Pretty EU hosting page up front, US tooling quietly in the DPA annex.
- CLOUD Act exposure — US parent or US hyperscaler storage means US jurisdiction, full stop.
- Who owns the company — "EU-founded, US-funded" is a different animal from "EU-owned". Ownership and hosting are shown as separate signals so you decide which one you care about.
- A proper feature matrix. Not "here are five alternatives, good luck" - an actual side-by-side, so you can see which tool genuinely replaces the US one feature-for-feature and which is wishful thinking.
Everything is from public sources only - the vendor's own DPA, sub-processors page, the company registry, legal notice etc. Each point has a link to original page and last verification date. Vendor's self-attestation is not taken on faith.
One number that fell out of doing this for more than 200 tools: a little more than 30% are completely clear of US Cloud Act exposure - no US parent and no significat sub-processors.
On money: the site earns nothing right now. There are a couple of affiliate links added already and it's disclosed everywhere they appear plus listed in full on the transparency page. That's the whole monetisation plan: affiliate links, nothing hidden. Listing order is editorial - no commission logic anywhere in how stuff is sorted.
What I would be happy to hear from you: what's missing? Did I get any assessments wrong? If you see something - let me know and I will fix it right away.
