They aren’t forking US tech because the US tech doesn’t pretend to be open source, so they can’t fork them.

The are building Euro-Office specifically to stop reliance on US tech though, it’s not targeted at once nation, it’s targeted at all nations that try to control tech. Which is mostly the US.

IDK what tangent you’re going on with the other things you’ve said, that’s off topic.

But yea India, like all nations, shouldn’t rely on foreign tech for infrastructure.

I don’t think people are discriminating against Russians. They just recognize that we can’t depend on Russian tech.

Most people don’t have issues with Russians, Americans, Chinese etc.

But fuck all three those countries, and we should not rely on either of their tech, and cut out dependencies on their tech, especially in the government sector.

Wait, how is it racist? This has absolutely nothing to do with race?

Russian isn’t a race, just like South-African isn’t a race.

Yea that’s complete BS

I also prefer just running Linux now.

But most people are fine just buying a mac, they do tend to last really really long

I love layout on the couch with my laptop and coding that way, at least for a few hours a day.

I used to swear I’d never buy Mac because their ecosystem is so closed off.

And vouched for MS because yea it’s a bit more rough around the edges but you have a lot more freedom and it’s a fair amount cheaper.

Neithe of those are true anymore, MS is just as locked down and seems to cost more for the same hardware performance.

Why would anyone buy Microsoft laptops anymore? What does it have that Mac isn’t better in?

(other than gaming)

The Open Source community really sucks at naming things

If all they do is force OnlyOffice to no longer use the AGPL3 liscence (or remove those restrictions)

That would damage their brand permanently, they main reason people use OO is because the pretend to be FOSS.

Many of their customers would start looking for alternatives

WTF is this lol

And here I was thinking it’s flat, when it’s match stick shaped

Thankfully it seems like traditions like this will snuff themselves out over a few generations.

Edit: nope, I’m wrong, the ratio is still 40%+ women

Thanks, I’ll check it out

As a South African this confused the shit out of me at first.

I thought it was the hateful political party the Economic Freedom Fighters, who chant things like “Kill the Boer” at their rallies

Great to see, the more institutions do this, the easier it becomes

Great to see, the more big institutions do this, the easier it becomes for others to follow.

Yea I like her stuff, I’m a casual watcher though.

If she’s a POS I’ll change my mind on her, but I haven’t seen anything that makes her transphobic as some has called her

I’m trying to figure out what she did that makes her transphobic

What did she do?

What did she do?
