Particle Physicists Continue to Make Empty Promises

I think it would be better for the EU to fund existing open source solutions than to create EU-controlled proprietary ones. Fund Firefox so Mozilla doesn't have to take funding from Google any more. Fund Linux kernel porting to mobile devices. Fund LineageOS, Replicant, postmarketOS and the myriad GNU/Linux mobile OSes. Fund yaCy and searx. Fund RISC-V implementations.

PS: it sounds like there is some sort of EU plan for this:

They probably also need to fund an alternative to TSMC.

CERN isn't an EU organisation - it is funded by its 23 member states, and collaborates very closely with its other observers.
