France says it plans to move some government computers from Windows to Linux as part of a broader push for digital sovereignty and reduced dependence on U.S. technology. TechCrunch reports:
In a statement, French minister David Amiel said (translated) that the effort was to "regain control of our digital destiny"

He forgot the word "partial"

If they want that control they need to at least divest from ALL use of Microsoft "solutions" and possibly also build their own Linux distribution.

There's something to be said that both parties are the same in that they will both go play world police sometimes but for Republicans that means being the piece of shit corrupt cop.

If you've got one bad cop and one "good" cop enabling him, you've got two bad cops. Both parties always vote for more funding for war, which is how this was even possible in the first place.

I feel really awkward, seemingly defending Meta. But, wouldn't you refuse to run ads that targeted you for lawsuits, maligned your business, and threatened your existence?

Ideally, ad platforms wouldn't exist, because the whole point of them is to lie to people so they make shitty decisions. But barring that, they shouldn't be allowed to refuse to serve ads related to malfeasance similar to that of which they have been found accountable in court.

We are all slaves or potential slaves in this society. Don't be such a snowflake.

When was the last time we had a draft?

If the world was actually a Patriarchy (which is also designed to protect women) then Marriage would be called Patrimony and the deaths of hundreds of thousands babies through abortion would not occur.

Oh fuck, you're one of those. Never mind, there's no having a rational conversation with you.

Younger generic material is superior. Period. It's true of men and it's true of women. There are also additional complications related to women having children at older ages which are not genetic. It doesn't matter how anyone feels about it, it's a highly studied phenomenon.

If people are having children at later ages that's not a good thing.

It's not hard to allow only traffic related to an outgoing connection. Are you asking because you don't know how to do it? Not that I'm supporting the GP's assertion here, that's not what I want from my ISP, but it's not even slightly difficult to do what they said you should do without interfering with establishing and maintaining outgoing sessions.

I watched Jayz video on this subject and apparently "manufacturers" (sellers) of foreign-made routers will be able to request an exception... from the Department of War and the DHS. So this is really just a solicitation for more bribes/the opportunity to pick the winners and losers like Republicans always say the government shouldn't.
