We need a European technological industrial revolution

I think it's a very good thing to support European products. At the same time, I've read some outlandish ideas about technology here that frankly make me smile.

Stop using google and apple services and use something European instead.

The alternatives listed are simply incomparable sorry, but I'm not going to replace a perfectly good ecosystem with something that is much worse.

lets take a mac book pro, make a bill of material on all components soldered on the pcb, retrieve the code of macOS and start manufacturing those ourselves.

This is a particular ridiculous idea.

So why doesn't the European Union fund something of its own, something innovative and competitive? We have all the intellectual and financial resources. Let it be open source, let it be Linux-based, let it be a complete ecosystem like Google or Apple. Let it be an EU smartphone, laptop and TV, etc. With all the backend services like cloud, streaming or AI. Let it be transparent how our data is handled and protected in this system and stored on European servers.

Everything could be developed and produced locally and create many new jobs with high added value.

We should launch a citizens' initiative for this.
