    @nixCraft problem is that #Taxpayers (unlike #Consumers when buying stuff for themselves) have neither leverage nor means to actually do this.

    • Because the state is better equipped and trained to forcibly take…
    • And #Politicans are almost always #TechIlliterates and #Lobbyists at the same time.
      • #FLOSS doesn't offer " #RevolvingDoors " for " post-#politricks careers "…

    That is what laws are meant for. Believe or not, but all rules based societies do regulate what tax collected money can be used for.

          I have said this before and I will say it again, it is time that taxpayers, who are the majority of regular folks in every country, should not pay a single penny to the likes of Microsoft. Taxpayer money should only go to FLOSS. Enough is enough with these big corporations. They have failed to protect user privacy and safety and obsessed with AI like teenagers.

          Back in the 1990s any software developed in-house by NOAA had to be made public domain because the public had paid for it.

                  @nixCraft just one Department, not rhe whole french government.
                  The whole Social Security, despite running linux servers, relies heavily on Office365. Last time they tried moving to LibreOffice they failed.

                    @nixCraft Hopefully this sticks and others follow their lead. An EU state and economy built on FOSS tools would be a sight to see
