Wait, what? What is wrong with European companies by default?

European companies sometimes take your money and do not deliver the product if you're a foreigner. It happened to me. I have never experienced an American or Chinese company doing the same.

Seems like a lot of European tech companies are kept afloat by "digital sovereignty" and maybe EU grant money, while having products that are far behind US and Chinese competitors. Mistral, W Social, maybe this one. Unfortunately it seems to be starting to backfire to where all EU companies, even legitimate ones, are being tarred with this brush.

To be fair to Jolla, their brand predates the concept of "digital sovereignty" as we know it today. They were making Android alternatives even before China or Apple did.
