What is the specific significance of reducing reliance on Microsoft?
Europe got it, USA is now an enemy. The betrayal has been absorbed and digested now they are cutting ties on the military level as they know they could be in a war at any time.
They should have ditch MS way before this imho.
About time
So, token financial contributions to FOSS projects (if anything) and slashing budgets formerly allocated to paying for US-based services. Right when FOSS maintainer burnout seems to be at an all-time high because of LLM „contributions“ and malicious state actors trying everything to compromise your project.
Fun.
Palantir is a lot more dangerous than MS.
Microslop out Linux in
So glad i downloaded the extension which changed the mention of Micro-soft to microslop.
In bocca al lupo
swiss ditching microsoft dependency sounds smart, good on em
With Windows 11 MS decided to:
Require a special chip on your motherboard that most computers don’t have, rendering them unable to run W11.
Forced their AI tech everywhere in the system (copilot) – an AI system that is simply unhelpful most of the time and actively wrong a startling percentage of the time.
Do all kinds of ‚telemetry‘ where scads of info about you and your computing is stored in the MS cloud.
Give itself access to basically all of your data and activities.
There doesn’t need to be any sort of political reason for getting away from MS, there are a number of valid technical reasons. And Linux is just getting better and easier every year and people are figuring out you don’t have to be nerdly mcsnerdly to use it.
Yet another MAGA win for global US Tech businesses!
Weird that it’s only happening now, given the notorious Swiss neutrality. You’d think they would have been on the FOSS bandwagon from the beginning, yet convenience appears to thwart even the Swiss paradigm.
