#Microsoft,
That’s fucking dog shit. To think Paradox will fucking bend over to pick up some pieces for Microsoft, but Microsoft’s fucking programs are making one of their latest up and coming products unavailable to play.

Yeah, right, TikTok was a national security threat that needed Larry Ellison to forciby buy it.🤦🏼‍♀️

"the DoD has outsourced some of its most sensitive IT maintenance to Microsoft engineers located in mainland China, granting them access to Pentagon systems for nearly a decade."
If this is true, it’s staggering. You don’t outsource sensitive Pentagon IT to engineers sitting in China and call it “efficient.” Cost savings? No- that’s a national security self-own. Oversight failed, and it needs fixing fast. #CyberSecurity #NationalSecurity #China

Ranska kieltää valtion virkamiehiltä amerikkalaisten kokoussovellusten, kuten Zoomin, Microsoft Teamsin ja Google Meetin käytön.

Ranska haluaa vahvistaa digitaalista itsemäärämisoikeuttaan ja vähentää riippuvuutta ulkomaisista, erityisesti amerikkalaisista, ohjelmistoyrityksistä.

Hecking Microsoft. So the "Remote Desktop" app was a small lightweight way to connect to Azure virtual desktops (we use these for some specialist software) has been replaced by "Windows" - which is a 200MB download with a load time to match. Yay improvement™! One plus - I didn't notice CoPilot - yet

Microsoft must end.
Those of us who can need to delete Microsoft OS and use something else.
Microsoft has a potential loss of roughly 400 million users over the past three years.

I booked the celebs for the Windows 95 UK launch. Bill Gates looked like a librarian on a £0 budget. He tried to explain "e-messages" while his kit failed to connect. We smirked. Bill’s "Printer Fallacy" is why the artisan press is thriving in 2026.

With all due respect, this "it kinda works" attitude has been happening since the early days of Microsoft and Oracle, where they would ship software with plenty of known bugs. At the time I was shocked, only to see the attitude prevail, to the point that you would skip v1.0 of software for v1.1

完全な置き換えは難しいけれども、気に入らないことがあるとすぐ関税やらレアアースで強迫してくる国々への依存は少しづつでも減らしてゆかないといけないですね
フランス政府がZoom・Google Meet・Microsoft Teamsなどを国産ツールの「Visio」に乗り換える方針
フランスの公務員および国家改革を担当する公共活動・公会計大臣付公職・国家改革担当大臣を務めるダヴィド・アミエル氏が、フランスのデジタル省庁間総局(DINUM)が開発したビデオ会議ツールの「Visio」を、2027年までに政府機関で導入すると発表しました。非欧州ソリューションの使用を廃止し、強力かつ独立したツールを活用することで、公共の電子通信セキュリティと機密性を保証する狙いです。
