Olaf Scholz? Is he still relevant? I think you might be confusing the former German Chancellor with the current one, Friedrich Merz. Who actually said “that Google is also investing in Germany and Europe, and that we can ensure European sovereignty here even with an American provider.” - which is utterly ridiculous.

  • What's bothersome is that Germany is just one of many countries that's chock full of open source developers contributing to open source projects that know better. Those guys are SMEs on the topic and their opinions should be taken as such.

    Germany happens to have KDE and The Document Foundation which is probably one of the reasons so much money goes into "investing" in Germany by big tech.
