Seems to be a matter of aligning incentives and not a lack of skill, creativity or financial capacity.

Zeit das zu ändern!

Ich habe übrigens nicht downvoted.

In principle not incorrect, Europe has rough times ahead and a lot to do to catch up in defense and digital infrastructure, among others.

That said, it should be carefully investigated what leads to actual productivity increase. Just more hours may or may not do that. And compensation should increase accordingly.

Ich habe nie verstanden warum man sich hier so schwer tut, eigene vernünftige Software Plattformen zu entwickeln. Das ist keine Raketenwissenschaft…? Und zb könnte die EU existierende Projekte unterstützen, wie Ubuntu Touch, um eine Alternative zu Android und iOS zu haben.

Ubuntu Touch is a thing btw, if one is serious about supporting an European ecosystem.
