It's interesting how the top 3 countries in digital sovereignty all use forms of proportional representation.
klangcolaDoesn’t most non-anglo European countries use proportional representation?
An interesting correlation: I recently saw an article on Lemmy saying that Linux had outsized growth I Finland year-to-date
Ek-Hou-Van-BraaiFantastic to see, I'm a big fan of Nextcloud
fastestMangoInteresting to see! I’m just impressed that the Netherlands is third already. We are so much reliant on American services, yet we are third already?! Can’t imagine how much worse the others are doing then haha

Ja toch, best wel bizzar dit..
Bijna alle intranet structuuren in NL draaien op microsoft office en je kijk omjeheen en idereen loopt rond met en mac of iphone..

Frankerijk kan ik nog snappen ze zijn alle stadskantoren\gementen pc en intranet aan het vervangen met linux ipv windows /microsoft , zijn hebben en eigen telefoon OS, stuk if 10 vesschillende linux os's eigen mail services etc.. wat hebben wij in NL gedaan dan om zo hoog in de ranking te komen?? 🙄

Yes, it's pretty bizarre..
Almost all intranet structures in the Netherlands run on Microsoft Office, if you look around, everyone is walking around with a Mac or iPhone..
3th place?
I can understand FR, they are replacing all municipalities' PCs with Linux instead of Windows/Microsoft, they have their own phone OS, a dozen different Linux OSs, their own mail etc. What have we done in the Netherlands to get so high in the ranking?
From the methodology section in the linked Nextcloud blog post, this is an interesting thing to note:
The DSI score uses a number between 0 and 100 to show the number of deployments per 100,000 citizens relative to other countries in the Index. […] As small and medium businesses as well as private users running servers far outnumber larger organizations like government or big enterprises, the index says more about the choices of individuals and small companies than what government or large corporations do.
This score measures where the services are deployed rather than where their users reside. For example, users from UK with services deployed in NL would shift some point towards the NL score. I don’t know if this makes a significant impact in the overall rankings, but NL is a popular hosting location for VPS due to a good combination of price, speed, and lack of censorship, which may help explain its good score.
