Funny you make “missing documentation” an argument against open source and for closed source, as if the average Windows user reads any documentation or even the error messages properly.

your comment is a joke.

They never were neutral. Austria never was neutral. This is just a diplomatic term but ultimately doesn’t mean what it implies.

Switzerland is always happy to launder and store money for any despot or pariah state. That is not neutral.

Austria’s companies made (and still make) good money with Russian oligarchs. Anything but neutral.

It’s a made up concept to have some sort of argument for the newspapers and common ground between diplomatic talks.

What a weird take. It’s not possible to avoid OSS that originated in the US. Also, when do you consider OSS not a “US product”? When a developer from another country contributes?

I’m all for gaining independence but this is a wrong battle to engage in.

Who cares if it’s Russia, China or India. This is not about any single country, but a much more fundamental conflict now emerging. Which rule of law will prevail?

This is the idea of a Multi-Speed Europe. This is nothing new, but voices haven’t been that loud (except for these moments when Angela Merkel floated the idea rather vaguely and called it “Europe of two speeds”.

This is not limited to military cooperation but also extends to economic and societal integrations. In reality, we already do have these cooperations especially at border regions where enablements of Schengen hits the people directly. Why should these cooperations stop at border regions, for example? The eurozone ist yet another example of a different Europe.
