Following a #FreedomOfInformation request, I can reveal that in 2005 — almost two decades ago — the #EuropeanCommission trialled the deployment of an Open Source stack (#Linux desktops with #OpenOffice) and that trial was mostly successful.
Here is the Commission's report on that trial 🔗 ⬇️

🇩🇪 Politische Erpressung: Das EU-Parlament koppelt die Verlängerung der freiwilligen #Chatkontrolle 1.0 offenbar an die Einigung zur verpflichtenden #Chatkontrolle 2.0. Das erzwingt eine schlechte Ratsposition & widerspricht der Position des Parlaments gegen Massenüberwachung!
MEP in meiner nähe ist kontaktiert!
Per Brief, hoffentlich noch rechtzeitig und hoffentlich hat es eine Wirkung(#CSU).

One of the first results you get when I search for 'romani resistance victims remembrance day' is this page, at Harvard;
https://fxb.harvard.edu/2018/08/02/roma-resistance-reclaiming-our-story/
And this year, I am hesitant to link to it, since I have to wonder how long it is going to stay up 😬
"The Holocaust memorial is located in central Bucharest, the capital of Romania. But for a long time, the country had not planned to include the Roma and Sinti people murdered during the Holocaust here. It was only pressure from local civil society groups that eventually saw a Roma wheel in stone added, to commemorate the thousands of Roma people deported to their deaths in Transnistria during World War II."
"The presence of the new president, a pro-European candidate who beat right-wing candidateGeorge Simion in May 2025 elections, was more than just symbolic. It was an appeal: Romania needs to grapple with its own history properly and it needs a basic change in a public discourse often marred by hate speech and racism."
Another way in which who governs really does matter.

when i wrote my piece on Epstein's #crypto connections I forgot that #IsabelMaxwell (#Ghislaine's sister) was connected to #BrockPierce even before she invited Pierce to speak at epstein's #Mindshift conference.
Brock Pierce is a big nexus of connection from #Epstein to things like crypto and confirmed pedophile rings (other than his own).
both Maxwell & Pierce were socially close to a crypto broette named #AutumnRadke who died under extremely mysterious circumstances back in 2014. most people think she "fell out of a window", putin style.

The EU-US deal restores stability and predictability for citizens and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic.
It secures continued access for EU exports to the US market, preserving deeply integrated value chains and safeguarding jobs. It provides the basis for continued collaboration.
The deal sets out the parameters of the EU-US trade relationship. It is the first step in a process that will be further expanded over time to cover additional areas and continue to improve market access.
the former head of research at #coindesk - someone who spent most of a decade deep inside the crypto industry as a true believer - has written a long form piece titled "Money By Vile Means" about how the crypto industry has become something deeply evil, fucked up, and wholly dependent on the government systems it once sought to disrupt.
"From libertarian ideal to cynical state capture, I debunk the myths of #Bitcoin and reveal its dark reality."

A good repeat for today: Vivafalastinleen from 2024. This is about genocide, but the same goes for fascism, which is much closer than you think, or only statements against war crimes, or working together with anti-democrats, or millions to the surveillance state while letting old people and disabled people prematurely die because they cost too much.
