“This is not a recommendation or a preference, it is a mandate. Germany’s decision to anchor ODF at the heart of its national sovereign stack confirms what we have argued for years: open, vendor-neutral document formats are not a niche concern for some technology specialists and FOSS advocates.
They are a fundamental infrastructure for democratic, interoperable and sovereign public administrations.” ―https://itsfoss.com/news/germany-digital-stack-mandate/

Ich war ja echt froh, dass unsere Große ab dem Herbst an einer tollen, modernen niederländischen Universität (#Twente) ihr Studium beginnt.

Was soll ich nun sagen? Betriebssystem offenbar ausschließlich #Windoze, #M365 als Standard-Software-Stack - keine Ausnahmen.

Meine Freude hat sich gerade in völliges Unverständnis verwandelt - so kann das alles nichts werden weg von der Abhängigkeit zu #Microslop. 💩

To those who still have a dedicated #Microsoft #Windows machine solely for configuring niche peripherals, no more need for moral anxiety, they get detected using a Windoze virtual machine with QEMU/KVM (requires at least a system with partial TPM 2.0 support): https://www.arscyni.cc/file/software.html#windoze:~:text=Microslop%20Windoze%20virtual%20machine

It takes slightly more attention to set it up than Oracle VirtualBox, but it runs ten times faster.

For many years now, once or twice a year I would switch to using exclusively Debian for performance reasons (including in games), and then switch back to using both Debian and Windows for convenience reason.

I think with this year amount of AI slop involved in Windows now I can finally say I will not actually ever be going back to Windows on a machine that I use regularly.

I own a windows 11 license, but Ive decided not to sunk-cost-fallacy myself by believing there is any value in that license.

I would not normally use hashtags on a post like this, but I really like how mad Microsoft is getting at the fact that people are calling them microslop now.
