Det er fanme noget fis og en kamp jeg helt sikkert ville tage. En bakke som er værd at dø på. Eller ihvertfald få nogle blå mærker af.

Der er masser af god matematik software til Linux. SageMath, Octave, Maxima. Eller sæt dit barn til at lære Python eller Julia med det samme og spring et trin over.

Mega godt initiativ!

Det kan godt være jeg er naiv men de kan vel ikke forhindre nogen i at kryptere deres kommunikation? Det står jo enhver frit at køre sine beskeder gennem f.eks. GPG.

So Palantir sells a data management tool and deployment support. That shouldn't really surprise anyone who knows the first thing about data science.

The interesting thing about Palantir isn't what they sell but how they sell it and who buys it. They clearly market their unremarkable software as an autocrat's wet dream.

And police and military departments across Europe and the US buy their shit, which says more about those police and military departments than about the software.

I agree but that's a somewhat different discussion IMO.

Even if Palantir's software was just a simple interface for a database, the fact that it's proprietary means that there could be secret backdoors for the US Intelligence community to look at the data. There almost certainly are. That makes it an issue of national security on top of one of personal liberty.

There. Fixed it for you.

Man I hope the EU is going to wake up to software sovereignty soon.

Stuff is moving in the right direction in some places on the local level, but I would love to see a blanket ban on foreign subscription services for safety critical sectors.

Honestly, ban the use of proprietary software in any public, tax-funded organisation.

Anti-communism is a fancy name for fascism.

I think the greatest concession made was that von der Leyen allowed Trump to frame this as a great victory for him. He has a fragile ego and always needs to look good. She is a much more diplomatic politician and allowed him to appear victorious. But the actual, realistic concessions are pretty limited.

I thought this was a pretty convincing argument why it's not as bad for Europe as it looks https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/sundown-on-the-potemkin-empire-trumps

Hold nu kæft hvor kunne det være fedt mand. Bare gå ind i en bus eller tog når det passer mig. Selv hvis jeg faktisk ikke skal nogen steder hen, haha. Bare frem og tilbage, helt gratis. Det ville jeg sgu gerne give 1% mere i skat for eller hvad det nu kunne koste, helt ærligt.

The request created a backlash online with many disagreeing with the practice.

Let me guess, Americans?

As someone who was forced to start using Windows again after ten years after ten years of exclusively running Linux: Why is it like this? Everything is so crappy and slow!

What AI revolution? All I get is fancy spellcheck and crappy image generation.

It's hyperbole.
