The UK is in Europe. Brexit didn't float the country out several hundred miles.
- pseudalopex 8mo agoThe Declaration for European Digital Sovereignty defined digital sovereignty as the EU and its Member States' ability to act autonomously and to freely choose their own solutions, while reaping the benefits of collaboration with global partners, when possible. The UK is not the EU or a member state. Part of Russia is in Europe. Do you believe Russian products were considered?

Pretending it’s not just so you can disagree with a comment adds nothing and is an example of why HN is so often a tedious place.

It is obvious why UK companies could be considered more reliable global partners than US or Russian companies. A muddled concept of European was not needed to explain it. If where an open source solution was developed mattered even.
