That's ALMOST the case for most EU states so far, but less and less the case, and more and more with private partnership engendering public IT, which is public information, nervous system, witch is the OPPOSITE of sovereign computing and Gaia-X (a failed project anyway) it's the apex of such disgraced model. Oh BTW to be sovereign ALSO DESKTOP must be FLOSS, witch is almost not the case in any public administration. The hw since it's full of fw to the point of being de facto connected black box, network hw included, mush be open or state-made. Witch is not the case in the 99.9% periodic of the cases.

#53Gaia-X is a disaster. The article misrepresents it. Gaia-X is not a framework for what a European cloud should look like. This would be useful. In beautiful EU bureaucratic style It's a framework for how to talk about how a European Cloud could look like. It's not about technical standards. It's about how we can talk about how we can think of maybe eventually deciding on how we can come up with standards that might o…

What do you mean by DACH mentality?
DACH = Deutschland (D) - Austria (A) - Switzerland (CH) but DACH mentality? Perhaps hard-working like people in Germany, Austria and Switzerland? Or overengineering or being stubborn and old-fashioned?

#58This is not about privacy or sovereign clouds because at least AWS and Azure have those already in Europe. It’s about protectionism and tweaking the law to favor local companies.
or: the EU is serious about citizen privacy and addressing the flagrant disregard for it that the major adtech players have shown.

They're already present as you note.
