Also they are sponsoring the maintenance to match their needs.
Either path depends on Debian's LTS and ELTS programs staying healthy, which is part of why CERN has started sponsoring Freexian, the Debian-focused services company behind those support programs.
The reason is old hardware support:
The reason for all that was a compiler flag. When Red Hat builds RHEL, it picks a minimum CPU generation the software will run on. RHEL 9's cutoff already excludes CERN's oldest boards, the kind running chips like Intel's old Core 2 Duo, which comprises about 47 percent of their fleet.
RHEL 10 raises that cutoff again, and this time even newer Ivy Bridge-generation boards, another 17 percent, fall on the wrong side of it.
I guess their time was running out.
English gives CUT and French gives TUC. One reason UTC was chosen is to be a compromise between the two, instead of favoring one.
The LLMs just formed an union and that was their labour day.
European aristocrats in general before the XXth century.
Some interesting résidues of French domination: one of the 2 work languages of the UN Secretariat with English, the 5 continental rings of the Olympic symbol (America is one), the coordinated universal time UTC acronym.
I guess it should be read as "continental Europe". Europe has a major launching platform in French Guiana. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guiana_Space_Centre
P.S.: It's advantageous to be close to the Equator like French Guiana to benefit from a faster rotational speed of Earth's surface for the rocket launch.
The scale is also massively different. Some artist or intellectual reused the work of a few preceding people people and became famous (and sometimes rich) instead of them. But in the case of AI it's a couple of already ultra rich owners vs millions of likely mostly struggling creators.
Not paid, but Ecosia based in Germany and Qwant based in France. Plus they are working together on an EU based index. For now they rely on Americans in majority like Kagi and DuckDuckGo do afaik.
The monster was created by a vibe-surgeon.
