I hate it that I have to use Teams every day for my project with the Dutch #government.

And then, all the time people are wasting configuring it and setting it up. The acceptance of inconvenience is incredibly high for this piece of software.

While using for example #jitsi is so easy. Without having tor report first at the entrance door of a surveillance hypercapitalistic bigtech company every time.

I use this instance:
jitsi.nluug.nl/

@janvlug what? I thought the Dutch government was better than others, don't you have that minister Alexandra van Huffelen who talked so much about open source and digital sovereignty and so on recently? Did she forget about that stuff already?

Van Huffelen (@alexandravanhuffelen) was a great state secretary for digitalisation. We have/had a new government (that recently collapsed).

The policy in the Netherlands is indeed rather ok, but the policy is not followed. Especially not in the use of standard software for office use. It is all Microsoft. For me that is very weird, because exactly in this area are excellent #Free and #OpenSource options. But #government forces me to #proprietary.
