Still cheaper than relying on US technology. Furthermore, the tech giants sided with Krasnov and the EU is telling them to get fucked. Kudos to the EU.
That sounds like a pretty good deal to me…
Cost who?
Money well spent 💅
That’s what it’ll cost the tech giants.
In cases where I’ve worked on projects to transition to open source, they’ve all ended up saving money: capex goes close to zero, and opex starts out higher due to learning curve, but then drops below the old baseline in a few months.
They really don’t grasp that the point of money is to use it to do things. Things that benefit, not just you, but your family, your community, your nation and humanity in general. They really think just sitting on giant piles of cash like a nesting bird is what it’s there for.
I swear the richer you get the dumber it makes you. Like I honestly believe there’s a point at which you get rich enough that the “Skills Atrophy” you see with people who get hooked on AI actively starts breaking down your own brain.
Your mind: use it or lose it.
Robots will kill the need for roommates!
€115B for what ? Software to maintain cloud infrastructure is opensource, and lots of people who work on it are from Europe so if they can ditch US and join EU companies those fuckers will be in big trouble.
And staying with the USA might cost 100 billion per year in overpriced fossil fuels contacts and cleaning up USA’s military adventures.
Totally worth it and we’ll recoup a large chunk since the money will be going to companies that pay their taxes. Not doing this isn’t even an option anymore.
We were tied with US companies for our business, and this year I decided that I was done with that crap, got a VPS, and MXroute for the company email, deployed Next loud, ans we’re saving around 6,500 dollars per year on infrastructure (used to be it cost us 6000 yearly 😁) and nobody Ia trying to upsell us on shit we don’t need or want.
Drop them all, they’re just expensive garbage anyway.
I thought America didn’t need anybody else? According to the clown in charge.
Sounds like short term pain to ensure long term sovereignty
And not ditching them would cost them €511B
