Ob es in absehbarer Zeit wirkliche Unabhängigkeit geben kann, weiß ich nicht. Alternative Angebote sind hier essenziell wichtig.
Einen großen Teil gibt es diesbezüglich schon, z.B. Messenger wie und verschiedene für Matrix (, ).
Ferner statt Windows, statt MS Office, Mail-Anbieter wie und und . Anbieter für Cloudspeicher wie und .

Ganz wichtig, denke ich, ist es auch, dass wir Nutzer bereit sein müssen, uns umzustellen und Neues zu lernen. Und vor allen Dingen nicht erwarten, dass uns alles auf dem Silbertablett serviert wird. Eigeninitiative und selbstständiges Erarbeiten sind für mich entscheidende Stichworte.

              Ich muss meinen Convertible Neu aufsetzen. Da ich die Arbeit jetzt sowieso an der Backe habe überlege ich zu Linux zu wechseln.
              -> Suche Linux-Distro für Dell Inspiron 7591 2-in-1 (i7-10510U, 16GB, NVIDIA MX250).
              Wichtig: Touchscreen ( + gerne Dell Active Pen Support)
              Nutze regelmäßig: VSCode, Obsidian, Ollama, Git. Ubuntu-Erfahrung vorhanden, aber Terminal-Anfängerin.
              Mint, Pop!_OS, Fedora? Dual-Boot zum Start sinnvoll?

                A new patched release is out for both the Rust crate and Python package of magic-rs—the memory-safe implementation of libmagic!

                This fixes incorrect file identification (e.g., MS Office docs). If you use magic-rs, update now to avoid false positives:

                🔗 Rust: crates.io/crates/pure-magic
                🔗 Python: pypi.org/project/pure-magic-rs/

                ⚠️ Also, don't forget to update your command line file detection companion wiza (What is Zat?): crates.io/crates/wiza

                  I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' rpki-client to 9.7 here:

                  https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/30763

                  GitHub's Continuous Integration checks passed!

                  It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

                  For whatever reason? The rpki-client.org website main page hasn't been updated to reflect the release of 9.7 yet, but it's there on the mirrors (and I verified the tarball with signify) and an undeadly.org story was posted, so I am guessing I didn't really beat anything to the punch so much as the World Wide Web isn't a first class citizen contrasted with those toiling in the realms of securing routing protocols, as it should be.

                                  ⚠️ Digitale Souveränität in Gefahr?
                                  US-Behörden können unter bestimmten Umständen auf europäische Cloud-Daten zugreifen – auch bei Microsoft. Fachleute warnen seit Langem vor genau diesem Risiko.
                                  Umso unverständlicher ist die Ankündigung, Bayerns Verwaltungen umfassend mit Microsoft-Lizenzen auszustatten.
                                  Angesichts der aktuellen globalen Sicherheitslage ist eine kritische Neubewertung der IT-Strategie dringend erforderlich.
                                  Statt neuer Abhängigkeiten braucht es jetzt eine Stärkung europäischer Anbieter und echte digitale Souveränität.
                                  👉 Hoffnung bleibt, dass Bayern diese Entscheidung noch einmal überdenkt.

                                      The EU, as well as every country in the world, should be taking seriously the importance of sovereign systems for communicating and disseminating information.

                                      The ActivityPub protocol is proven and makes many platforms compatible and accessible to each other, allowing for effective information sharing and communication.

                                      The only reason many people do not leave X is that many important services and public figures remain on that platform. Therefore, if countries truly care about digital sovereignty and resilience, they should adopt and promote the use of open source platforms and networks based on the ActivityPub protocol, whether it is Mastodon, Pleroma, Vebinet, or another platform.
