I am really starting to loathe the “sovereignty” framing of open source sustainability, or data privacy, or whatever. It would be good to have a better tech community less beholden to the interests of multinational corporations, more globally distributed, etc, but when you have a problem and you think “I know what would make this better. Intense German, French, and English nationalism” now you have like… at least five problems
I am wary of sovereignty framing for these same reasons, yet also welcome the movement because disrupting concentrated market power is so important. Firms can be especially terrible when they have no competitors.
