Randahl FinkHow to offend foreign leaders, lesson 1017:
In the presence of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, Trump says he did not have to tell Japan that he was going to attack Iran, because Japan did not tell him before attacking pearl harbor.

Tip van flip: probeer een linux distro uit op https://distrosea.com
After a short-lived experience with Kubuntu 25.10 - I decided to move over to Linux Mint 22.3 (Cinnamon).
While KDE is really nice, all the custom applications were a bit out of my comfort zone (konsole, discover, dolphin, looking at you). Also, reading about the proprietary parts of snap ... didn't turn me on either.
Mint installed like a charm, which is no surprise. Customization is very much possible (changed the theme and the iconset, centered the taskbar icons etc, all very intuitive).
@alexanderadam Sometimes proprietary features are inevitable (which I do not belief is the case here) - but if there is no other feasible option, it should at least originate from an European company.
The whole sovereignty topic is not only about investing in the right location (Europe) but also about mitigating risk of the US making (some more) questionable decisions. Gitlab HQ in EU wouldn't be sufficient to me, all of Gitlab in EU would be a step in the right direction. Yet, still not FOSS.
@alexanderadam Gitlab CE is FOSS. Yes. Gitlab EE is not.
However, imho you're going on quite a #whataboutism tour.
The EU states FOSS *and* sovereignty (cloud, data and tech) as a cornerstone now. Imho that can simply not be achieved like this.
Spending EU funds on Gitlab doesn't fit that cornerstone and means you cannot spend them elsewhere.
To me, it's just a simple but crystal clear case of (not) "practice what you preach".
