And not a single bit of this would matter at all if YOU PEOPLE* would just know a damned thing!
*present company excepted, of course.

France's tech sector: "Zis is mon' Chanz to shine!"
France has a tech sector?
Aesthetically I like reading technical texts in French.
(Contrary to the stereotype, romantic texts not so much, that's where English is better ; and despite trying my best, I still haven't found a way to like Dutch ; neutral on German.)
But the point is - has anything big lifted off in France in the last 20 years or so?
I'm not talking about quite a few particular people whose names should be in history books. I'm talking about companies and systems.
There is a french tech sector: Doctolib, BlaBlaCar, and a few other original ideas have opened new types of services and taken their hold over Europe. Yet, those services cannot be adapted to individualistic north America.

I want to live in a world where the EU bans Google, but we all know the EU will just roll over and accept this.
God I hope this happens, it will be absolutely hilarious when the gcp services on which the EU infraestructure for telecommunications, research and development, industry, transportation, banking, agriculture, logistics and health is built up, crashes burning to the ground.
Commence operation “find out”!
Google has behind it an incoming US government that puts US economic interests first, and relishes bullying its allies. The EU is weak, divided, and geostrategically boxed in. It will bend the knee.
It’s hardly about US economic interest so much as the interests of a small in-crowd. See: tariffs.

I like this. I don't think I need a large company fact-checking anything tbh. They already got too much influence and power, I don't need them to control the narrative even more.
