Dear @EUCommission, get your heads out of your arses and let’s find @letsencrypt €1M/year (a rounding error in EU finances) and have them move to the EU.
If Let’s Encrypt is fucked, the web is fucked, and the Small Web is fucked too. So how about we don’t let that happen, yeah?
(In the meanwhile, if the Let’s Encrypt folks want to make a point about how essential they are, it might be an idea to refuse certificates to republican politicians. See how they like their donation systems breaking in real time…)

@aral "But what about funding IA-based innovation" (technofascism)…
EU probably doesn't give a flying fuck about small web…
@devnull @EUCommission @letsencrypt @nlnet Well, we haven’t seen a single euro cent from them, so you’re not wrong.
@aral I wasn't even being sarcastic.
Giving a shitton of public money to technofascists 'because insert some bullshit about Artificial Stupidity" (according to people who don't know shit about computers but suddently decided "IA is the future/wijl improve everything cause marketing people said so") is actually one of the EU goals…

If these people actually gave a fuck about healthcare, and democracy. They would actually fund public heathcare, and fight fascism. Not fund technofascist mega-corporations, promote "venture" capitalism, surveillance capitalism with "IA", and claim that it would "improve healthcare"…
