Imagine if we end up a place, where this tarrif shitshow actually ends up with EU and the world being independent from big tech corps on Maps, Office (Word, Excel), Windows etc.
Sometimes all we need is a wake up call.
Gonna require some more wise investments in open source and free software. Which require awareness from decision makers.
For sure. Their decision about OpenStreetMaps seems pretty wise.
