It's good to start somewhere, but as a reminder, it's the same European Commission that:
1. runs on Microsoft software that it buys from Fujitsu UK that HN crowd knows from the UK Post scandal
2. Has multi-billion euro digital initiatives and a puny single-instance public Gitlab with a handful of shamefully incomplete "projects".
3. Tells everyone that they have their own AI helpers while actually renting LLMs from Azure.
They also sometimes forget to clean their shoes after walking in from the street.
But at least this thing they will hopefully get right and maybe in the longer term they'll be able to break the lock-in on those other things as well.
