I have been slowly moving away from US controlled tech, the remaining bits are ones I can't control really: banking + payments, DK state ITs love affair with microsoft, apps needed to access state services.
And if someone can come up with a way to persuade teenagers this is cool. That would be nice.
Of course what the piece misses is the huge commercial reliance on the back end stack.
We desperately need #Eurostack.
