🌟 Exciting News in Digital Freedom! 🌟

Starting next month, Denmark's Minister of Digitization, Caroline Stage, plans to phase out Microsoft and other tech giants' programs within her ministry. This bold move aims to reduce reliance on U.S.-based tech companies and embrace open-source alternatives.

Half of the ministry's employees will transition to a new computer system, replacing Windows with open-source solutions. Specifically, they will adopt LibreOffice, a free and open-source office suite, as an alternative to Microsoft's Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

"I want to take the lead and try it out. When the opportunity presented itself, it would be crazy not to seize it. I am very much looking forward to seeing how it works in practice," says Minister Stage.

This initiative aligns with Denmark's broader strategy to achieve digital sovereignty and reduce dependence on large tech corporations. The goal is for the entire ministry to be free of Microsoft by the fall. However, if the transition faces significant challenges, there is flexibility to revert temporarily.

The push for digital sovereignty is gaining momentum, especially in light of current global dynamics and concerns over data protection. Political parties like the Red-Green Alliance and the Alternative have also voiced support for reducing ties with American tech giants.

Let's celebrate this shift towards freedom, collaboration, and innovation in the tech landscape! 🎉

One more in the collection.

Trying to convince a gaming partner to sell his copy of Lt60M to me. It’s in his shelf with no trace of leaving it any time soon -or ever, if you ask me-.

This morning for no obvious reason, I remembered the Fuel Rats.

Elite:Dangerous is an MMO space sim game, with a big galaxy in which you fly a spaceship doing stuff. Spaceships need fuel, which you buy at stations, or if you have a fuel scoop you can skim the surface of certain stars to get usable fuel.

Space is big though, and it's quite possible to run yourself low on fuel in a way that you can no longer warp to any inhabited system to refuel. At which point you're screwed.

Hi all. Curious and would like your opinion.

Do you think that wargamers.social as a domain name is too limited given the direction of modern game design?

Many of the newer games being produced by companies like GMT are stretching the definition of what I would have historically called a wargame (and that’s a good thing!).

Would a more encompassing domain like consim.social (I own that as well) be more attractive to a broader population of players?

For some reason the Duskmourn PPR is apparently being obscured from some amount of YouTube search (we tested in Incognito) so that’s more exciting YouTube fun.

Anyway it’s here, please enjoy it!
