gollark: They should have more of it and better stuff then.
gollark: Since their approach to encouraging more of it in the EU is apparently just to come up with more regulations for it? And not support for startups or offering access to GPU clusters or something actually helpful.

gollark: Only with a European Parliament law authorising it.
gollark: The EU will have exactly three (3) computers for people to use.
