"A coalition of determined open-source software (OSS) advocates and a handful of technology experts working in the European Commission set out in 2004 to end Microsoft's monopoly. They almost succeeded. This article reveals how they managed to change the EU's software policies, made Microsoft lobbyists work overtime - and in the end, and despite their best efforts, could not withstand the power of proprietary companies’ lobbying campaigns.
Drawing on the Multiple Streams Framework, the article explains the European Commission’s decision to promote OSS and open standards in 2004, and its puzzling decision to reverse course just a few years later, in 2010, despite its unchanged rhetoric about the benefits of openness. The analysis reveals three key factors that drove the changes in the EU’s policies.
In 2004, OSS advocates managed to frame the EU’s dependency on proprietary software as a problem – and the promotion of OSS and open standards as the solution.
In 2010, #Microsoft and other proprietary companies used their existing connections in Brussels to sow doubt about the maturity and cost of #OSS among #EU policymakers."

E que tal este hino anti-pirataria de 2010s, cantado pelo Magalhães (sim, o computador) numa versão do Chamem a Polícia? Juro que é ainda melhor do que a descrição dá a entender, ouve!

@thecanine I admit I'm a little unclear of your position. What do you mean by "not the right approach"? What's your position here? 🤔 -- I have a funny feeling we _actually_ algin, just getting our wires all mixed up in communicating it 🤣
Hey y'all 👋 I am told my "participation" is drastically down of ,ate So sorry 😞 Busy quite a busy few weeks at work with a reorg and lots of complex things happening in real live too 😅 -- Hope everything is doing well 🤗
@lyse an "informal" one. @movq doesn't even need to reach out. Simply wait until they start playing, measure the tempo, and start bassing on queue! Oh man, I can already imagine it! Dreamy! :-)
Este vídeo é o resumo da parte da noite eleitoral que mais me preocupou.
Ouve-se agora o #PSD a dizer que agora ganhou e que se espera responsabilidade dos outros sob a forma de aprovarem um programa de governo. Do PS ouve-se algo semelhante: que no cenário actual eles não têm hipótese senão viabilizar um governo minoritário de Montenegro.
Mas eu discordo: minorias levam a negociações, e #PS tem poder negocial. Deve usá-lo, com responsabilidade: fazer depender uma aprovação do programa de governo e viabilizar um governo liderado por Montenegro durante um ano da existência de um compromisso escrito da parte do PSD de que eles não viabilizarão nenhuma reforma constitucional durante esta legislatura.

@kat Ta! The dead end wasn't all that bad in my opinion. Personally, I really do like dirt paths and exploring. It was all dried up, so no muddy mess we had to walk through. More like climbing over thick branches that have been worked into the ground by harvesters or forwarders in the muddy winter. Rough terrain. My mate, on the other hand – whose idea it was to check out the real summit in the first place ;-) — wasn't all that pleased about the detour. Oh well. :-D
@thecanine right. Spell checkers are not AI. Full grammar checking, and correction? That one I have not seeing, but on AI. So, what I meant was, let the grammar gaffes show; we type as we speak (most of the time). About spelling mistakes, well, let them be corrected as we have done since 1971(?).
@prologic to err is human, to forgive is divine, right? I say let us err, and forgive. My grammatical errors make me me. Misspellings? Well, we need no stinky AI for that!

@thecanine@movq So I _actually_ agree with you! I _think_ Dustin is taking a bit of a "deep and dark" path here (_depression_), and there are many parallels to other types of activities that we can all talk to. "AI" or "LLM"(s) here should be no different. Use them, Don't use them. I don't really see how it takes away our creativity or critical thinking.
Android is a brunch of linux. You only need to install a terminal app. But the termux app on Google Apps will not run on old android. Perhaps connectbot (ssh client) will run.
i switched my bookmarks site from espial (unmaintained project) to linkding, and while i'll miss espial's simplicity, i do appreciate linkding's power and the provided API.
at first i got auth working with my SSO (authelia) and was happy, but i want my public bookmarks available without login... and i couldn't configure my proxy to make that work, because of issues with sub paths, which sucks. so i switched to linkding's built-in auth. inconvenient, but worth it to share my bookmarks.
