@meraord jag dricker knappast själv så jag borde inte uttala mig, men det ska ju vara single malt och det finns en som heter Macallan till exempel, och en annan som heter Laphroaig.
> Interesting project!
It is! 😃 Feel free to use it, you can submit things to one of the logs mentioned here https://www.sigsum.org/services/ or you can run your own log and/or your own witness and help build the ecosystem that way. See also https://www.sigsum.org/getting-started/
@nopatience four weeks work (on https://sigsum.org/ among other things) upcoming, then three weeks vacation.
@gcvsa @neil as I see it, GrapheneOS has a fatal flaw in that it only runs on Google Pixel phones. It only exists as long as Google allows it.
The same problem, although less severe, exists for all other Android variants also. Google makes Android, Google makes the decisions about what goes in future versions and so on.
A better option in my opinion is GNU-like #MobileLinux where the focus is to benefit the user, not Google et al. -- see @linmob and things like #pureos #mobian #postmarketos
@Gina who will get to direct it? Maybe Spielberg?

🌟 Exciting News in Digital Freedom! 🌟
Starting next month, Denmark's Minister of Digitization, Caroline Stage, plans to phase out Microsoft and other tech giants' programs within her ministry. This bold move aims to reduce reliance on U.S.-based tech companies and embrace open-source alternatives.
Half of the ministry's employees will transition to a new computer system, replacing Windows with open-source solutions. Specifically, they will adopt LibreOffice, a free and open-source office suite, as an alternative to Microsoft's Word, Excel, Teams, and PowerPoint.
"I want to take the lead and try it out. When the opportunity presented itself, it would be crazy not to seize it. I am very much looking forward to seeing how it works in practice," says Minister Stage.
This initiative aligns with Denmark's broader strategy to achieve digital sovereignty and reduce dependence on large tech corporations. The goal is for the entire ministry to be free of Microsoft by the fall. However, if the transition faces significant challenges, there is flexibility to revert temporarily.
The push for digital sovereignty is gaining momentum, especially in light of current global dynamics and concerns over data protection. Political parties like the Red-Green Alliance and the Alternative have also voiced support for reducing ties with American tech giants.
Let's celebrate this shift towards freedom, collaboration, and innovation in the tech landscape! 🎉

The Danish government is planning to reduce their use of Microsoft's software.
During the summer of 2025, half of the employees at one government agency are to start using LibreOffice, with the goal that the whole agency should be free from Microsoft by autumn.
This is part of a strategy that aims at strengthening Denmark's digital sovereignty and reduce their dependence on US tech companies.
