France Shows Windows the Door!

The Government of France has launched a sweeping initiative to switch from Windows to Linux. This move will save France, Billions of Euros each year, improve security, and move towards Sovereignty.

India should follow this excellent example.

Microsoft ( MSFT ) is expected to be a in a death spiral, as more and more countries decide to save money.

I‘ve written a blog post about how I learned Kubernetes from an user perspective super efficient (fast, little time spend). Using this methodology I’ve outperformed backend devs with way longer „years of experience“. I hope it‘s helpful for you to get sovereign as well!

This extract reminds me so much of Trump:

FAUST
\[…\]
Who art thou, then?

MEPHISTOPHELES
Part of that Power, not understood,
Which always wills the Bad, and always works the Good.

FAUST
What hidden sense in this enigma lies?

MEPHISTOPHELES
I am the Spirit that Denies!
\[…\]

Trump's actions provoke backlashes, e.g. his actions against Europe / the EU made many governments and governmental institutions rethink their dependence on US software and services. France is switching to Linux, there are EuroStack, ZenDiS (with openDesk and openCode), …

Europa zahlt 148 Milliarden Euro jährlich für digitale Infrastruktur, die nicht europäischem Recht unterliegt.

96% der deutschen Bundesbehörden. Ein Anbieter. Kein Backup-Plan — bis März 2026.

Der IT-Planungsrat hat entschieden: Deutschland-Stack ist jetzt verbindlich. Frankreich sperrt Teams und Zoom für 2,5 Millionen Beamte.

If you're feeling hopeless about the state of digital rights and civil liberties and the American tech hegemony, go and read @pluralistic 's brilliant essay about the giant opportunities for #disenshittification this year. It's worth your time.

"So why did America's trading partners agree to anticircumvention law? Well, that was down to the tender ministrations of the US trade rep. Countries that didn't pass anticircumvention were threatened with US tariffs.

I used to occasionally guest-lecture at an international relations grad program at the Central European University in Budapest, and one summer, I had a student who had served as the information minister to a Central American country while the US was negotiating the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). This student described getting a phone call from their country's chief negotiator who said, "I know you told me not to budge on anticircumvention, but the USTR tells me that if we don't give them this, they will block our agricultural exports. I'm sorry." Country by country, the world fell into line.

When someone tells you, "You'd better do what I say or I'm going to burn your house down," and then they burn your house down, you'd be an absolute sucker if you kept up your part of the bargain.

I find it absolutely bizarre that the USTR spent decades racing around the world, getting every country on earth to sign up to "America First" policies by threatening them with tariffs, and then Trump actually imposed the tariffs anyway, which has opened up the space for every country to get rid of those America First policies."

#Eurostack plans talks about #federation and open source a lot. Yes. It can play a role in parts of the stack (particularly back end).

But centralised propriety European champions would most probably have to be part of the mix, also for capital markets to do their part.

#capitalmarkets #CMU #opensource

Part a lack of vision by European leaders. On that score #Eurostack plans help, but it is barebones and missing much.

It does not take account of two major drivers of US digital power. Network effects/ economies of scale, capital markets and how they create an ecosystem.

#CMU #capitalmarkets #venturecapital #industrialpolicy

Ons digitale leven draait nu vooral op #Amerikaanse en #Chinese technologie. Hoe komt de #Europese #Unie daar los van? Topeconoom Francesca #Bria (°1977) stelt voor om de #EuroStack te maken. Dit is een plan om zelf controle te houden over digitale systemen. Volgens Bria is het belangrijk dat steden, landen en continenten niet afhankelijk zijn van buitenlandse techbedrijven. De EuroStack heeft zeven lagen. Samen helpen ze Europa om #digitaal onafhankelijk te worden.
