Software isn’t Tech, for heavens sake. It sounds glib to call it that in the same vein as software developers calling themselves engineers. Nonsense posturing.

I get it though: EU would rather have China own them (see NXP) rather than US. Because EU-based companies are worthless, broke, and offshored already. It’s a cost cutting measure at that point. Enjoy Libre Office. (Fucking lol)

As an individual, I prefer Euro sw/ tech way over Chinese sw/ tech and both 10 orders of magnitudesover american data-stealing, enshittifying klunk - as do many of my colleagues and friends...of late, and it's getting to more and more 'regular' people. Too.

Could you elaborate on which EU companies are a) worthless - got names; b) broke - name one; and c) which ones are off-shored (meaning not Eu-pean)?

Do you include EU

I agree with you regarding "Euro tech", but not on "Chinese sw/ tech", they are at least as data-stealing as the US and they have even less democratic controls over there.
