Europe broke their own procurement laws in order to choose Microsoft for the cloud, its good that tariffs were enough for them to finally follow their own laws.

Im sorry, this is stupud! Customers are saying, "this service is unsafe, i dont trust my data isnt being used against me!" And their response is, "Dont worry, we habe a 5 point plan to make shure we have the uptime of a waffle-house! Our product will be so easy to access and it will stay that way forever!"

Well if american tech were trying to provide a service and accumulate customers which they take care of then this would not be an issue. Their current method feels more like rape.

Good. They should.

They should worry about the US switching from Micro$oft while they are at it.

[–] HC4L@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Why would they be nervous without any serious competition for 365?

This is the stupidest fucking trade war. Trump is an odoot who can’t recognize or understand what a service based economy is. Most of tech and IT is service based.

Services don’t have tariffs so the US made out better in the deal. Now he’s fucked that gig for so much of our companies and people.

Brad Smith commits org to facing off with US govt in court to protect them

Fuck this bullshit of our government always stepping in to make things unfair for legitimate competition.

"Legitimate competition is when other countries impose unwarranted tariffs on us while their companies monopolise our markets."
