🇩🇰 Minister is phasing out Microsoft in the Ministry of Digitalization

「 Digitalization Minister Caroline Stage will begin phasing out Microsoft from her ministry starting next month. The plan is for about half of the employees to start working with computers running a version of #Linux instead of Windows and using #LibreOffice instead of Office 365 over the summer. If all goes as expected, the entire ministry will be free from Microsoft by autumn 」

@snow IMHO #piracy should only be considered "#theft" [with damages being limited to the cost of properly licensing it!] if the pirated material was still offered for licensing new under fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms.

In the past, #EA did offer to replace broken discs / cartridges for a nominal fee [AFAIK €10 per disc or €15 for double-discs] if people mailed in the original (broken) media. I'd say that is should apply to everything, tho granted that only allows people in theory to deal with #DiscRot (assuming the publisher is able and willing to perpetually honour this service), not allowing them to legally attain new licenses.

#Valve & #Steam legally workaround this by merely providing access and not a #license per-se.

  • Still, I think #piracy in almost all cases is (as GabeN correctly said:) "A services problem!" and if a product is fairly priced and then people will be willing to pay for it.

I just think that the rampant Enshittification of even #PhysicalMedia is unsustainable and I wish for an #OpenSource #competitor to #BDXL and it's #OnlineDRM!

Oh the _feels_ when reading this announcement!

I was one of the GNOME project’s first sysadmins, back in the days of a single CVS server running on a machine hosted at Red Hat’s office.

It’s amazing to see their journey to the cloud!
