Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence
A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.
Here we toast:
πͺπΊ The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
π§ The freest of health care
π· The finest of foods
π³οΈβπ The liberalest of liberties
π The proud non-members and honorary cousins
πΆ And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.
Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream βonly in YUROP.β
Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

Well, hard to "just pirate" office365, teams or sharepoint. European institutions sold their asses and the public sector is in the deepest pond
I mean there are frictions but web office and sharepoint could be changed for nextcloud+collabora and that is ready and commercially available, same for other services. Likely just a bit more expensive.
Piracy is how sanctioned countries like russia do it. I guess sanctions and killing all trade is painful, but I don't feel like software licenses are the decisive and most hurtful thing.
