For things that need to work "higher quality" does not cut it. But I get that you do not get that.

It is also a massive global single-provider dependency risk and that is unsustainable. Especially as this provider gets worse and worse and cannot get security to work.

In particular, running some official public administration business on Azure, One-Drive, o365 or any other place where MS can get at the data, is frankly illegal with regards to the GDPR. The problem is that public administration has to get and process that data, but if MS (as a non-European company) can get at it, people have a right to object and if they do, that makes the data processing illegal. These two things do not go together. At the moment, this little problem gets mostly ignored all across Europe, but it will not stay that way.

The other thing is that Schleswig-Holstein will not have done this in a vacuum. Many other public administrations all over Europe will watch carefully. And since these organization are _not_ in competition with each other (mostly), information will be shared and even support for planning and doing other migrations will be done. As MS has not managed to sabotage this move, I think they are cocked in the medium-to-longer term for European public administration.

Not anything. I'm sure when Federal troops take over the State Capitol and Newsom is put in prison for unspecified but certainly horrible crimes, the military governor that takes his place will make sure none of this kind anti-corporate nonsense continues.

I mean that is basically their last remaining chance to ever turn a profit. Let's hope it is not enough.

I disagree. If you require significant effort to concentrate, you are not cut out to be an academic. Academics do and must do things they are interested in or they will never be any good at them. It is fine to not be cut out to be an academic, most people are not. And we do not need that many academics, really, we just need to take them seriously and listen to them.

That one is very simple: My comments are not ignorant and you are just one of those people that lose all rationality when it comes to kids. That you (apparently) agree on other things with me at least occasionally, should tell you something here.

So, you think what is "on a screen" is not part of the world? Seriously?

It is not that difficult if somebody is this extremely over the line.

Nope. I am right on the mark. And I have thought carefully about that comment. If that cretin were my parent, I would cut all ties as soon as I reasonably could.

Unless you want all your data analyzed, used, sold and lost.

... then you are the product. Better stay far away from this poisoned "gift".

Sounds like somebody in delusion trying desperately to justify child abuse.

Your point is pointless. But if you want to die on this hill, be my guest.

Or are the dumbest simply more fascinated by the pretty lights?
