Let’s back our own EU Tech industry. At & The Big Fish, we’re exploring a move to European IT solutions, like; • TUXEDO OS (instead of Windows) • ONLYOFFICE (instead of Microsoft Office) • Nextcloud Hub, EU-hosted (instead of Google Drive) Admittedly a bit opportunistic and I know large organizations can’t pivot like this easily. But SMEs and startups can! Using this stack or joining this movement? Drop your thoughts or tips below! #europeantech #cloud #digitalsovereignty #executivesearch #gdpr #buylocal Marloes Pomp Techleap TUXEDO Computers GmbH ONLYOFFICE Nextcloud www.andthebigfish.com

They even want to buy computers from @tuxedocomputers and use @nextcloud

It is the company's responsability for people dumping the plastic. If they made as much publicity for responsible disposal as they do for comsumption of their products, people would be better. They can also produce less or in better recipients.

    The company makes the plastic bottles, which don't need to be plastic, and then uses marketing to promote consumption. The people are not to blame for being exploited by the scheme of the corporations. If this company stopped existing tomorrow, I'm sure people would consume less just from the lack of advertisement.

    Schleswig-Holstein, one of Germany’s 16 states, on Wednesday confirmed plans to move tens of thousands of systems from Microsoft Windows to Linux. The announcement follows previously established plans to migrate the state government off Microsoft Office in favor of open source LibreOffice.

    I'd argue agents often participate willingly because they are conditioned to view the people as enemies threatening their lives. The phrase "just following orders" is used afterwards to ease guilt and shift responsibility.
