Fuck Microsoft
Sucks that EU privacy protections only apply to corporations, and the governments are going for full government backdoors in everything possible.
Microsoft promising to build infrastructure in the EU directly hurts American jobs. :-D lol Trumps Tarrifs that scared the world have responded by defending themselves, US companies boosting their economies by building there and then the US jobs will be needed less as the work they’re doing now witll be in the EU.
Trumps Tarrifs have directly boosted the economies of others while directly hurting ours and it has absolutely nothing to do with the tangible goods that Trump cares about.
Thinking that needing to build infrastructure that other countries provided is an economic boost is exactly the line of thought that the Magats use to justify Tariffs. It’s not true. The resources spent building server rooms and datacenters would be better used elsewhere.
Someone should tell Trump that Microsoft is out sourcing cloud business which is worth BILLIONS.
Trump probably thinks that’s woke libs creating clouds in the sky to fight climate change.
Amazon too, tell him Jeff Bezos is the biggest cloud seller on earth. Elon would jump at the chance to deal with his, uh, rival?
Just checked it’s worth almost $800 BILLION.
Good.
Step 1. Fuck Around
Step 2. Find Out
Steam Deck got me into Linux, I want to eventually have Steam OS installed on my PC, I’d happily ditch Windows
The hardware is still American right
I’d rather give Steam my money over Microsoft
Same but I thought the post was about US tech vs EU
www.protondb.com to check your Steam library against Proton (Linux) compatibility. You can log in with your Steam account and it’ll give all your games a compatibility rating.
If you want Steam OS on your PC today, Bazzite is ready today. But pretty much every popular distro will give a similar gaming experience once configured, so don’t be afraid to branch out a bit.
Why would they be nervous without any serious competition for 365?
Good. That’s the point.
These idiots forgot that an “america first everyone else last” president might alienate a pretty big part of their customer base, i.e. the rest of the world
It’s not even America first. It’s Trump and maybe the .00001% first and fuck everyone else.
I’m sure their EU lobbyists can fix that.
These politicians may not like the US anymore, but everyone likes money.This is the stupidest fucking trade war. Trump is an odoot who can’t recognize or understand what a service based economy is. Most of tech and IT is service based.
Services don’t have tariffs so the US made out better in the deal. Now he’s fucked that gig for so much of our companies and people.
They say they’ll fight thing in court as if we trust the courts to even respect the constitution anymore. You sat behind the clown on inauguration day, now reap what you sowed.
are you sure that Microsoft was there with Amazon, Google, Fecesbook and Xhitter?
Brad Smith commits org to facing off with US govt in court to protect them
Fuck this bullshit of our government always stepping in to make things unfair for legitimate competition.
“Legitimate competition is when other countries impose unwarranted tariffs on us while their companies monopolise our markets.”
Who are you quoting?

Under Trump 2.0, some Europeans fear that storing their data in the bit barns of Microsoft, Google and AWS is no longer safe
It never was, and all the laws that were installed to make this appear legal were nothing but meaningless fig leaves.
It’s like people still don’t know about Schrems II or the Cloud Act.
Or they somehow seriously think that the EU-US Data Privacy Framework resolves the issues that killed the EU–US Privacy Shield?
Techies in Europe – who obviously have a vested interest in unsettling Microsoft stronghold on the market as AWS, Microsoft, and Google have upwards of a 70 percent share of the public cloud sector in the region – previously highlighted the potential dangers of US legislation.
I’ve mentioned this before as a criticism for Canadian boycotts of the US. Every large Canadian website, even Government and News use US cloud services. Every. One.
Frank Karlitschek, CEO of Nextcloud, told us in March, “The Cloud Act grants US authorities access to cloud data hosted by US companies. It does not matter if that data is located in the US, Europe, or anywhere else.”
How was this allowed to happen? The minute that law was passed all sites that use them should have discontinued their contracts. JFC.
