@Vivaldi so, uhmmm, we should be adopting a browser which is essentially a thin skin on Google™ Chromium™ ?
@Vivaldi I am moving my email from M365.
@Vivaldi asking a bunch of nerds this like most of us haven’t already known this for decades about Microsoft. Kind of preaching to the choir here. FYI
@scottytrees hahaha fair point but still a discussion that needs to be had
@Vivaldi Don't rely on proprietary software. USA got screwed even though Microsoft is a domestic company.
@Vivaldi * laughs in Linux *
@Vivaldi
Not a thing, surely.
@shansterable
@Vivaldi this question needs to be asked in c-suites, not on the social network for people who know how to troubleshoot issues with linux drivers
@Vivaldi No, because a souvereign cloud or european datacenter can and will fail too.
What this teaches is the importance of business continuity plans, and backup and recovery procedures
Souvereign/EU cloud, great but for entirely different reasons
@Vivaldi Don’t get me started about the vulnerability of putting all your eggs in the cloud.
@Vivaldi the same thing the various cloudflare outages did: zilch
@Vivaldi It's a meaningless buzzword. Software from private companies can never be trusted, no matter what country it's from.
@Vivaldi
yes: if you are sovereign, you cant take this day off.
@Vivaldi thank you for your #browser 🙏
