Unironically the EU should just go full glowie and try to steal all of Microsoft's source code from Redmond. By 2028 the US won't be a former ally anyway.
>>108767209>will spend $50 billion to switch to a "free" OS>then in 3 years will quietly spend $20 billion to switch back
>>108767209I have also moved a bunch of things over to linux at my small company. The excel alternatives are inferior, but no one wants to continue paying Microsoft out of principal (both for quality and jeetificaiton). The idea is to give it 6 months and see if the freetard alternatives are sufficient.
>>108767988*principle, pardon.
>>108767209>planscall when they do it and stick to it for more than 1 yearwe've seen this shit before and they usually give up
>>108768075It’s a national security imperative, not ideological motivation.
>>108767209They're probably doing this because they can add surveillance stuff without going through microsoft
>>108768453This is why.All the people going "based EU" are just useful idiots, this is just going to make the age verification & digital surveillance even easier now that they have their very own OS to do shit on without having to pay for licensing & other crap.
>>108768453It's for the French ministries, the French glowies can spy on these machines any time they want. The migration is primarily because of foreign (US) spying, ownership of the software they use, and they'll save tons of money on licensing fees.
>>108768453That's stupid though. These euro countries still bend the knee to the US intelligence community. MS is willing and eager to cooperate on this.
>>108767209>Free>Can't post anything remotely similar to hate speech without going to jailRiiight...
>>108767209is there any info on which distro are they going with?
the new Franco German alliance will lead the way forwarda supranational quitnessentially EVROPEAN endeavour
>>108767708i'm pretty sure governments have full access to the source code when they request it
>>108767209>switch to linux because freedom>linux now demands age verificationis it devuan at least?
>>108768732Red Star
>>108767209>>108768752based based based
>>108767209He will pay for this. All of france and all of europe. Start Samson Option NOW!
>>108767209Based, fuck our tech giants like we will never have the balls to do
Nazi Germany already tried that and failed.
>>108767209>this thread againit's just a bargaining strategy to get a discount from MS
>>108767708This. It would be amazing if a government nationalized the windows source code.
>>108771479>(((lobbying)))every single time
>>108767209>5 seconds later
>>108771485I wouldn't use Windows even if it was open source. It's trash
>>108772407There are no good operating systems, but windows is still better than an obsolete 1970s mainframe OS.
>>108772483Based
>>108768453The public narrative is that we want to get rid of American tech and surveillance capitalism. Recent events have overwhelmingly caused Europeans to dislike American involvement. Governments are more afraid that the US will use it’s power to spy and leverage control through their big tech companies in critical government sectors. They have shown they are able and willing to do so. So it’s not just insidious 3d chess moves from (usually incompetent) EU bureaucrats. It’s definitely a movement spearheaded by the EU nerds and a public feeling of unease the US’s power over our lives. Btw, the majority of EU politicians (still) vote against backdoors and are pro privacy, repairability, interoperability etc. Not sure we can say the same about the American politicians.
>>108767209lmao europe is fucking dead>>108772651muh independence is just performative noise to make extra taxes more palatable. your fucking ID will be gatekept by apple and google, that’s how independent your decaying shithole of a continent will be
>>108772806>Healthcare: Universal, affordable, and high-quality (no medical bankruptcy).>Work-Life Balance: More vacation days (20+ paid days/year vs. 0 in the U.S.), shorter workweeks.>Education: Free or low-cost university in many countries (vs. crippling student debt).>Public Transport: Extensive, reliable, and affordable (trains, trams, buses).>Social Safety Nets: Stronger unemployment benefits, parental leave, and pensions.>Environmental Policies: Stricter regulations, more renewable energy investment.>Paid Leave: Mandated sick leave, maternity/paternity leave (U.S. has none federally).>Lower Inequality: Smaller wealth gap, progressive taxation.>Consumer Protections: Stronger rights (e.g., GDPR, no hidden fees).Keep seething, Europe is the civilizational pinnacle of humanity
>>108772874>Europe is the civilizational pinnacle of humanityit is, but not for the reasons you listed. also, we're in decline.
>>108768752not these two retards linking up again, my portfolio can't take ww3
>>108768732NixOS, I think
>>108770257Any large customer can get the Windows source code. That's been an option for decades. It's just a matter of purchasing the right license. In France's case, they've probably had access since their first large purchase order.
>>108768752>Merz>leading anything
>>108772874>high taxes>have to rely on america for protection>welfare state currently collapsing due to uneven population pyramid
>>108772806>your fucking ID will be gatekept by apple and googleYou can see some (outdated?) information about ID app here: https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/eudi-doc-architecture-and-reference-framework Age verification: https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-uidocuments: https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/european-digital-identity-wallet-architecture-and-reference-framework I know there was a lot of discussion about zero knowledge age/id checks, and that (I think) it's still not a requirement. But I haven't followed the news so much on this topic the last few months.
great news!
>>108767209Good, now unban lolisho you stinkin frog
>European "sovereignty">Imports another 50 million Africans
>DUDE EU IS SO BASED!!!>constant push for age verification>constant push for goverment surveillance>constant push for millions of immigrants
>Gain data sovereignty >Corrupt Africans in government departments sell confidential data to African criminal gangs. >(You) are held ransom for crypto by said Africans.
>>108768732nixos and ubuntu depending on use case
>>108772483>windows is still better than an obsolete 1970s mainframe OS.Modern Windows is a worse version of VMS, an obsolete 1970s mainframe OS.
>>108771479Don't forget that Bill Gates arrived in a white van to meet the Munich major in said van to try to convince him to change his decision and continue using Windows
>>108767209France ain't committing to the kernel. They'll sure as hell submit troubleshoot tickets for trying to commit mass surveillance on their own population and use their tools to crack down dissent. Microsoft does the same thing, but the difference is Microsoft is extremely incompetent whereas the government knows what they're doing. They're version of linux will be domestically produced and brewed, but it sure won't be free. Steve Ballmer did nothing wrong.
