    I ain’t a super Linux user, but I find it crazy that so many governments aren’t scared to put their data in the hands of US corporations like Microsoft of Apple.

    I work for the state in Geneva, Switzerland, and my employers gives me an iPhone and forces me to use Windows at work.

    I know that developing your own Linux distribution or any other solution is difficult but my country is even using a foreign cloud service instead of a swiss one😨

      People are so shortsighted about this. Spend billions on Microsoft products to prevent spending millions on a safe solution that will never be suddenly deprecated.

      I mean, you guys have all that Nazi gold still so I’m not sure extrapolating that “neutrality” to other countries is necessarily useful

        I’m just talking about keeping your data and those of your citizens away from Apple and Microsoft.

        I don’t know enough about the nazi gold, but whatever your country is, I’m sure it has a dark history too. Still this is in no way related to the original post.

          I mean my country is no longer engaged in active genocide but yours still fights tooth and nail to keep Jewish gold and you don’t even know about it

          So yeah, there’s a difference.

              They outsource the data keep because it’s cheaper… nowdays even family package on Microsoft for onedrive is very cheap…

            Won’t supply ammo for German weapon systems in Ukraine because they are “neutral”
