I always find it odd when people talking about high level policy stuff like EuroStack completely ignore end-user devices - Like, if you have fully sovereign EU AI cloud apps, where are you going to access them from? Your iPhone?

@tbernard I will access it via my @murena phone running @e_mydata on a @Fairphone or use my @tuxedocomputers running @debian . There are great European solutions, you just need to buy them ✌️🇪🇺💙

@tbernard @spipau And with an SoC that still has an American backdoor in the CPU and cell modem.

@blobjim @tbernard step by step we have to take back control and nothing will every be perfect straight from the start. For my part, I can't wait to buy open RISC-5 processors, but they are not ready yet...

@spipau @tbernard yeah I was looking at RISC-V single-board computers and they have the same problem as ARM devices, where you can't install a generic Linux distro on them because they don't support ACPI and there's no way to make a generic Linux distro boot with a specialized devicetree easily. So the designers provide a special build of a Linux distro, which is totally impractical for real world use.
