I hope that the EU becomes a real innovation center of decentralized tech initiatives. There are all these tech movements like local-first apps, atproto/activitypub, and self-hosting that could be absolutely supercharged by both the user and developer base of Europe flat out rejecting big tech cloud platforming.

I'm convinced in the next century the EU is going to be an innovator in decentralization in general, it's already a de facto confederation in general
