@EUCommission yeah, the 16th sanctions package will certainly change something…

Microsoft is introducing ads into a free version of Office, which seemingly only lets users save to OneDrive.

In other news, LibreOffice is also free, doesn't have ads, and lets you save your documents wherever you want. I use it every day for my work. It is available here:

It is very hard to accept, but it is no longer safe to move EU governments & societies to US clouds. Not only is it dangerous to do so, it is also likely flat out illegal in the near future. We're trading convenience for utter dependence on a mad king. It should stop.

It is no longer safe to move our governments and societies to US clouds - Bert Hubert's writings

The very short version: it is madness to continue transferring the running of European societies and governments to American clouds. Not only is it a terrible idea given the kind of things the β€œKing of America” keeps saying, the legal sophistry used to justify such transfers, like the nonsense letter the Dutch cabinet sent last week, has now been invalidated by Trump himself. And why are we doing this? Convenience.

Apple has removed end-to-end encryption (E2EE) in the UK. No longer will UK citizens be able to enjoy the benefits of E2EE when they store their messages and other data in the in Apple’s cloud service.

Australian security agencies are priming for similar powers in Australia. Support EFA in our ongoing fight against government overreach and weakening of the protections that E2EE has to offer Australians.

@Sustainable2050 what’s his game?

After a bunch of comments pointing out to the fact that my GNOME touch issues were linked to Ubuntu, I did another try, on Fedora, this time, and yeah, it's MUCH better.

I also gave a shot to Plasma Mobile (excellent), and Phosh (less excellent on a big screen):

I was WRONG about Linux & touchscreens: GNOME, Plasma Mobile and Phosh tested
