Just 4 years ago I wouldn't have believed this shift as remotely possible.

"France Launches Government Linux Desktop Plan as Windows Exit Begins

France is transitioning government desktops to Linux, with each ministry required to formalize its implementation plan by autumn 2026."

My hot take this morning is that the price of anything is largely illusory. Take aftershave for example. A mix of denatured alcohol and fragrance oils in a glass container. The constituent elements of which cost less than £10 for approximately 5 units (assuming you have access to a label printer). A bottle of Creed Aventus costs £220. That is a 10,900% markup. I understand that with food and fuel it's directly linked to demand (and also artificial inflation and profit points), but I just don't see how I'm likely to ever buy 'high end premium' products again. I fear I have hit a point in my life where nothing will ever be good again and I'm just angry all the time.

Anyway - morning!
