🌟 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.
Ur NOSADs Nyhetsbrev juni 2025:
"Danmarks Digitaliseringsminister planerar att minska användningen av Microsofts programvaror. Under sommaren 2025 ska hälften av medarbetarna börja använda Libre Office, med målet att hela departementet ska vara fritt från Microsoft Office innan hösten. Åtgärden ingår i en ny digitaliseringsstrategi som syftar till att stärka Danmarks digitala suveränitet och därmed minska beroendet av amerikanska teknikföretag."
SD:s ursäkt är bara ett PR-trick, säger jag i Godmorgon världens panel.
Som Svenska kommittén mot antisemitism konstaterar saknar SD all trovärdighet.
I agree with every word of this. Scream it from the rooftops. https://www.jonoalderson.com/conjecture/javascript-broke-the-web-and-called-it-progress/

”Tänk att JD Vance – av alla människor – ska vara den som levererar några sanningens ord om behovet av europeisk enhet och självständighet”
Lisa Magnusson: "Likt en dåre fortsätter Sverige att svara fel på frågan om brot"t
"Ändå fortsätter svenska politiker streta åt detta repressiva håll: De vill sänka straffåldern, skärpa straffen, fängsla fler. Likt en dåre upprepar de detta felaktiga svar på frågan om barns brott."
