We don't need a silicon valley. No need for a ultra concentrated tech valley. We have many small tech valleys all over Europe. With many many good, honest, privacy respecting companies.
We just don't have that unicorn culture. But do we need highly overvalued tech businesses?
- Bancakes 3y agoWho wants that? A market made up of clustered, small-time players that don’t have to live up to standards, and don’t have their hide in the game? A market made up of clones and forks, all worse than the prop competition.

Alone food quality is on a whole different level in Europe, exactly because we have, allow and welcome small time players reinventing the market.

They are just as privacy invasive as US albeit with less financing which means they are even more ruthless and hostile.
- herbst 3y agoSee, good that there are many places, so that the VPN bullshit can't make the other cool places a bad name.
