@DCR spannend!
@ThatCrazyDude @Sophistifunk great, now i'm hungry for fried stuff xD
@ThatCrazyDude @Sophistifunk fries could be pretty good, but probably not worth the price yeah

lol, sicherdoch xD
@ThatCrazyDude @Sophistifunk wait, a rotating cage is pretty cool!
@dcc @theorytoe @djsumdog have we seen the hole in the ear in footage? i'd be interested in that.
@mangeurdenuage
oh, absolutely. spooks and military are a giant money transfer machinery!

> That's not how it work everywhere here in france for example in education the licenses are a "gifts" which MS gets taxes deductions on it.
yeah in education the licenses are "free" as well here.
i think the other licenses for the bureaucracy aren't free but the usual volume licensing.
> taxation
may help short term, but it's an arms race ;)
> That's a big part of it but it's also because they're tech illiterates.
then they should ask people who know what they are talking about. they actively choose to believe salespeople instead of doing their job.
i maintain that without corruption it would be no problem to go free software in most places. for example: munich had done LiMux for years, then some friend of MS got elected and they killed the LiMux project going back to MS again.
@mangeurdenuage ah, it's 1.2 billion for all kinds of software licenses, 198 million went to MS. most of the other licensing costs were by things like the defense ministry and ministry of interior so it was spend for spook software.
@mangeurdenuage 1.2 billion in 2023 going to MS from germany alone

> the proprietary stuff is as big because states buy it.
iirc something german gov recently renewed microsoft software for millions.
@mangeurdenuage
the proprietary stuff is as big because states buy it. i think all these monopolies we have are due to governmental spending (very likely due to "lobbying"/corruption). taxation wouldn't help, they'd tax MS and then just puchase it back with as much in price added as they added taxes in the first place.
all the bullshit they are spending money on. most of which isn't even helping their own population, only enriching their friends (like the pfizer deals). they really need to get _that_ side in order before even thinking about taxing some more or creating more inflation by making more money backed by nothing.
state licensed lolbert and hypernatalist with a breeding kink. never watched rick & morty and i'm proud of it.
don't only rely on my words, read what happy customers wrote about me: "10/10 would buy again", "top seller, great value", "wildly incorrect", "teil des problems", "without imagination", "Repeated provocation using copy/paste.", "if you take a dump in my mentions, I just might notice the smell", "log out and never login again", "Du redest wirr.", "My brother in Christ, this is such a ridiculously dumb statement that I will no longer entertain this silly conversation.", "Auf Derailing-Diskussionen habe ich keine Lust.
