      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.

        @nixCraft OK but how is a FLOSS project going to offer politicians a bribe made entirely of cocaine and underage girls?

        Imagine those poor politicians having to pay for their own Michelin star dinners and having no money parachute after leaving office. Bet you feel real silly now huh?

              @nixCraft Dear #France, your efforts are praiseworthy. Please ensure your success by sticking with the more stable, mature #OpenSource software. Gamble as few times as possible on shiny new projects. Keep things simple. Not everyone is a geek who can think in the abstract.

                  Ah, now I'm seeing something that makes sense of MicroSlop backing off on including AI in their toilet paper and their toilet brush.

                  Knew that individual user outrage couldn't possibly have been a factor.

                        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.

                              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

                                          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.
