Debby<p>🌟 Exciting News in Digital Freedom! 🌟</p><p>Starting next month, Denmark's Minister of Digitization, Caroline Stage, plans to phase out Microsoft and other tech giants' programs within her ministry. This bold move aims to reduce reliance on U.S.-based tech companies and embrace open-source alternatives.</p><p>Half of the ministry's employees will transition to a new computer system, replacing Windows with open-source solutions. Specifically, they will adopt LibreOffice, a free and open-source office suite, as an alternative to Microsoft's Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.</p><p>"I want to take the lead and try it out. When the opportunity presented itself, it would be crazy not to seize it. I am very much looking forward to seeing how it works in practice," says Minister Stage.</p><p>This initiative aligns with Denmark's broader strategy to achieve digital sovereignty and reduce dependence on large tech corporations. The goal is for the entire ministry to be free of Microsoft by the fall. However, if the transition faces significant challenges, there is flexibility to revert temporarily.</p><p>The push for digital sovereignty is gaining momentum, especially in light of current global dynamics and concerns over data protection. Political parties like the Red-Green Alliance and the Alternative have also voiced support for reducing ties with American tech giants.</p><p>Let's celebrate this shift towards freedom, collaboration, and innovation in the tech landscape! 🎉</p><p>🔗 report: <a href="https://nordjyske.dk/nyheder/politik/digitaliseringsminister-vil-udfase-microsoft-i-sit-eget-ministerium/5616096" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nordjyske.dk/nyheder/politik/d</span><span class="invisible">igitaliseringsminister-vil-udfase-microsoft-i-sit-eget-ministerium/5616096</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/DigitalFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalFreedom</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/LibreOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LibreOffice</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/DenmarkLeads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DenmarkLeads</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/TechInnovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechInnovation</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/DigitalSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalSovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/FreedomAndCollaboration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreedomAndCollaboration</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/DigitalizationMinistry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalizationMinistry</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/DigitalFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalFreedom</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/FuckTechBros" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckTechBros</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/LinuxLove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxLove</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/LibreOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LibreOffice</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/FuckMicrosoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckMicrosoft</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/FuckTechBros" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckTechBros</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/danskertrut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>danskertrut</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/libreoffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>libreoffice</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/FLOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FLOSS</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSoftware</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/digitalizationministry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>digitalizationministry</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/fuckmicrosoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fuckmicrosoft</span></a></p>
