The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.
The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Just found out that the CEO of Gumroad now works at DOGE? And that he saved up loads of money 'cause he fired everyone and replaced them with AI?

It’s astounding how much the functioning of universities depends on a significant fraction of faculty being workaholic people pleasers with poor boundaries and ADHD
What's baffling about how underfunded services are that help faculty get grants is that we bring money into the univ. They care about that overhead. But not enough, I guess, to fund the grant workers because they know faculty are workaholics & will just work more hours if we have less support.

Denmark’s Ministry of Digital Government is phasing out its use of Microsoft Office.. to switch to open source alternatives like LibreOffice instead.
Why? Because relying too heavily on a US tech giant for your nation’s digital infrastructure is starting to feel a bit... well, risky.
