Nope. That was rolled back: https://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-not-windows-why-munich-i...

And, again, I'd very much like Microsoft to lose here, but, there are real issues here

> You must be German

Oof, that's just offensive!

Anyway, most German Linux 'mandates' were indeed regional, and (for good reasons!) failed to migrate 'upstream'.

Whether the French mandate takes hold remains to be seen. "We're not Germany" is not the end-all argument it might seem to be to you.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying, If your mythical 30-person teams were achievable, a lot of major US 'cyber'security firms would be in major trouble. Pop-quiz, hotshot: what does Citrix (market valuation: USD 16.5B), technically, have over your team (market valuation: USD 0B)?

> they were effectively "bought out" by Microsoft

Yeah, let me dispute that. They were, at least on three occasions, forced to roll back due to "citizen sent me X and can't open it" and/or "sent Y to citizen and they can't open it" concerns.

Mind you: these issues still persist in a fully Microsoft/Adobe "solution environment", but less so than in the "disregard all and move to Linux" situation.

And to be perfectly clear: that's all unacceptable. But it adds another, say, EUR 2B to the equation.

I'm not aware of Microsoft's economic footprint in the Munich region, but I doubt it's significant.

The complaints that lead to the several-reversions-to-Windows at the time, as I recall, were all around "citizen sent me X, can't open X"

And those are all addressable issues, but not without significant know-how and funding.

I'm... not so sure? The French government has, widely seen, 6M employees. Given retail pricing of EUR200/seat/year (and they definitely have a better arrangement), that's 1.2B, and I'm not sure that's enough to provide an identity management plus office apps plus file storage solution? And at 10% of that? Absolutely forget it...

It's... an admirable goal, but it pretty much remains to be seen if "France"[1] follows through.

Previous attempts to "ditch Windows" have not ended that well. Munich in 2003, the entire Federal German government in 2009, Munich again in 2013, Munich again in 2021, and so on. Most common end-result: back to Windows.

Breaking points are typically the lack of an "Office 2016" compatible suite, lack of "Adobe PDF" tooling, and a mishmash of legacy apps. The latter seems trivially addressable by a "Remote Desktop/RemoteApps" environment, but there are definitely issues, mostly surrounding printing and clipboard handling.

All of that can be solved, but definitely requires more funding and, crucially, coordination, beyond "Open Source Cures All."

[1] Oh, I just love it when an entire culturally-diverse region gets lumped in together, or, when, as in this case, ~6M French government employees are treated as a homogeneous group.

I have truly no idea what this is all about. OAuth login issues aside (which have been a thing on-and-off for a while now, and I hope they fix soon), Claude's performance and responses have been entirely stable for me for like, forever.

Other than that the graphs look good, I don't have much to say about the code (not a Python person), but I think the approach is great, mostly because I like using custom-generated SVGs for visualizations myself as well.

The only downside I've experienced is that it's pretty much impossible to get data-dependent interactions (tooltips and clickable links that vary based on section) to work reliably: additional Javascript has gotten me to like 80% on desktop, but not on mobile.

> the way he went about it — the accusatory tone, the refusal to compromise or even acknowledge that others might simply have honest differing opinions

...is entirely familiar and not a recent phenomena. He dismissed me as a "BIND company shill" during an IETF meeting in... 2008(?) for pointing out some (minor) implementation issues I saw with DNSCurve.

Sure, any wannabe-but-not-entirely-educated World Leader would love to own Greenland.

And why not? It's strategically located, rich in natural resources, and...

Until, well, you actually visit the place and realize that 95% of its surface area is pretty much inhabitable and its population centers are pretty much indefensible, on account of being, well, fishing villages.
