Seems high time for some civil disobedience. Break the law collectively, let them seek to enforce their ridiculous/draconian laws and explain the knock on effects in court.
Alternatively, open source projects that may be effected can withdraw access to their sites and source code and cite the law. Hopefully they forked the code already and don’t need any future updates.

This might sound like a positive thing but it is tremendously troubling. Corporations employ a lot of people and if they leave, EU would see poverty like never before. I was involved in GDPR laws and lot of small biz in EU straight up do not follow GDPR and the chances of getting fined in EU courts is pretty negligible. But, if you're a 500 employee company, you're going to have to maintain an army of GDPR consultants and attorneys at your disposal to keep in compliance.
