Asking my EU friends, why do you let yourselves be bamboozled by the US tech companies when you’re totally capable of doing it yourselves?
Seriously. You don’t need Google. You just need a plan and a will to execute.
It is amazing. All the US companies have to do is dangle a “free” solution and the EU will go for it, and then be all surprised pikachu at the terms they agreed to.

Funny. I want the opposite. I want people to stop posting their opinions on the Internet.
Every time I go to Youtube and I see "the X situation is insane!" I'm like "what is even X? Why are you showing me this?"
The whole social media landscape is engineered toward drama and people arguing over pointless things they have no control over, being controversial all for "engagement." It's pretty depressing.

Interesting that you do not feel the need to lead by example.

CentML was pretty interesting but just got bought by nvidia.
Tailscale regularly pops up.
These dinosaur computers were the last ones that impressed mere mortals, just the box and the Trinitron screen with the SGI logo on it made people think they were in the future.
We know how that ended with Fahrenheit and other problems, but since then, very few computers have had that wow factor.
As for office, we mean MS Word and Excel, which worked brilliantly on Windows, with WordPerfect and the like lagging. For me it was no problem not having Word and Excel on IRIX as we had PCs for those things.
If I remember rightly, it was quicker to access files off the IRIX workstation SCSI disk over NFS than it was to access local files on the PC. Everything was 10x.
