Still, the primary problem was lack of consciousness about this state of affairs, especially at leadership level. One thing Trump 2.0 does take off the mask on this. It's a start

Trump 1.0 should've been enough, but instead European leaders were just too thankful for a Biden back-to-normal scenario that they basically took no action allowing the US to further extend its dominance.

Better late than never. Incidentally, trying to build EU tech independence should produce job making industries, so can become a populist move also

The regulatory wall is required, the alternative is subservience, which tbh is broadly acceptable to most Europeans I think

Instead, it bought into the idea of an open internet and ended up getting assimilated into US tech eco-system. This seemed harmless at the time, but Trump 2.0 has exposed it as a catastrophic strategic mistake.

Not too late - perhaps EU will get through EU AI Act / GDPR and similar barricade of red tape?

Limit circle social network, I think capped at 50 people. Beautiful app, and I remember it was a great place to spend time when you really just wanted to be with true friends.

Time for someone to reboot this

The Trump moment is all about whether this happens in 20 years or 100.

Negative view: Trump is re-routing political power around any remaining checks and balances that exist in the current system.

We'd all love to be in a world of open source, open web, open AI but that has become a naive vision which is very far from what we have today. Canada is right, but so too is Signal. What Canada needs it is own sovereign tech stack - it can only start with de facto national firewalls ike this

The unfortunate case for the wild population, is that they naturally inhabit a location which today has one of the highest human population densities in the world, and hence massive pressure on water resources. We could probably quite easily re-establish a breeding population in remote areas in Europe but would constitute an invasive species and hence wouldn't happen.

As a species, they are not endangered due to their very large populations now in the pet trade (though these then get inbred, become domesticated etc).

Profiteers running everything is what a narco-state looks like, a criminal enterprise where the exploitation for profit supersedes every other social good.

Trump is morally bankrupt, but perhaps the only thing to his credit is his bullying of US oligarchs to acquiesce to state power. That he is doing so purely because of his own pathological desire for personal supremacy removes that credit, but that is beside this particular point
