Brussels pushes ‘buy European’ procurement plan

Thanks!

You can add that as a link and have the picture still, would make it easier than looking for the source in comments.

As a Canadian I have seen our government crumble to for-profit entities. The issue is that a lot of governments do not want the liability of something if it fails.

Will EU countries that planned to use open source options and their own staff, already on the payroll, still likely create a procurement plan for maintenance and ongoing tech support?

How, putting the link in the post and the image on the subtitle?

For things like government data, they sort of have to run that infrastructure. I certainly do not want my tax data or the like on a Google server or similar. Also people will blame the government anyway, if something goes wrong.

However non government entities can certainly develop software. There is a lot of it used by governments, which is also of interest for private entities and having that sort of tech support is interesting to companies as well. Also it being open source creates competition for getting those sort of contracts. As multiple companies can work on the same project.

The image link ( https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2c8f66b8-f152-44fd-8b84-709907ab0f93.png ) can go into "Thumbnail URL"

Thanks, but for some reason I don't have the option for using thumbnails

I guess it's because of the instance?

[elrecoal19_0@lemmy.world]

Anyways, the bypassed paywall page was turned into a XXX page, I'm guessing they got hacked...

I'll wait to see if it goes back to normal to post the link again.

Havent thought of that; yes, this communities' instance uses Lemmy in a small version before this feature (nothing bad in it otherwise, I know firsthand updating this can be a pain).

So yeah, leaving either the pic or the link in the body might be the best there is to be done for now.

Yeah, lemmy.world is still stuck on older version that does not have option to do it.

I get triggered when a for profit entity (like ESRI) uses open data and then sells it to governments..

Americans want and have spyware in te very core of our infrastructure. Look at what happened when they offered to help Greece with their comms for the olympics, they killed a network designer who found their spyware.

What did you write?

[yes_this_time@lemmy.world]

Ah, I deleted because I wasn't familiar with the community.
I just said OVH looked nice, and that a lot AWS features are just things you can yourself but pricier.

I was looking at OVH a couple of weeks ago.

If I was a provider outside the big 3, I may consider a strategy that focused on great documenation/guides/templates to enable users to spool up common services with just the hardware service on my platform.

I totally agree...

Apparently, OVH data centers burn down and lose your data in the process.
