American tech is on track to dominate the world.

American tech used to dominate the world. It's the Chinese tech that "is on track to dominate the world".

Things are clearer when you're from neither.

What I always miss in these lists is an alternative to Slack, which I also think would be one of the most important to get right since:

  • Slack is used in companies and to transfer operational information, therefore contains both HR (personal) data and sensitive business data
  • Slack generates a lot of data now used to train LLMs and other ML applications
  • Slack is seen as a must-have in most companies and it gets in at an affordable price point which still could be lowered by an EU solution.

I have looked into Whaller, but would still prefer an EU-made open-source version of something like Mattermost.
