Hey,

I enjoy listening to the Accidental Tech Podcast, who mainly touches os US tech and specifically Apple.

I would like to hear more about our own tech industry in Europe especially with the current way the world is.

Can anyone recommend some good European focused tech podcasts?

DataKnightmare maybe? The author is Italian, but he provides an English version as well https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dataknightmare-english-version--2678958

Thanks, sound very interesting, will listen to an episode or two!

From the episode list it sounds like a lot of effort is going into criticising big US tech - which I respect.

I think it would be even better if we talked up EU tech rather than wasting our breath trashing US tech.

Small chance this is what you're looking for, but something like this exists in Dutch: Made in Europe

Sounds great! Unfortunately my Dutch is a bit rusty due to me never having learned it, he he. But great to hear that these podcasts exist in Europe, thanks!

Not directly European, but I line to recommend โ€žTech Wonโ€™t Save Usโ€œ by Paris Marx (from Canada). The pod has a silicone valley critical view, started to cover more international and has focused digital sovereignty in recent months.

Sound like a similar theme, will give it a listen!

Mmmh, would

https://linuxmatters.sh/

and

https://latenightlinux.com/

fit the bill (I'm not sure how European they are but I always assumed most are British / Irish)?

[โ€“] THP_iz_da_law@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Thanks, will give them a listen also. Cannot see from their websites where they're from and if they focus on Europe.

And surely there's more to European tech than Linux? ๐Ÿ˜Š
