The reason I use mistral is because it's not associated with the fucking US and now I gotta look for a replacement again???
I run mistral locally, fuck cloud computing, I don't rent computers as a service. Self-hosting is the only future that is free. Hunt and scavenge used hardware if you must, but don't rent it.
All your EU countries are in cahoots with big tech which are not American but global companies.
Wake. Up.
Im pretty sure Mistral was using AWS before. It is a shame
