This is why the cloud was a bad idea for so many use cases in the first place. Security and privacy are often things that aren't considered nearly as carefully as they should be... This kind of threat could have been foreseen.

I am sooo xxxx pissed. The EU had all the time in the world and all incentive imaginable to develop an "EU-OS" and an "EU-Office". Linux and other FOSS software was always there to build upon. And with EU founding it could have been an easy solution, making the world a better place in the process.

But instead so many xxx politicians rather made some nice deals...

Now we reap what the EU parliament did.

The article's specifically about Dutch data, but I suppose it's probably very similar with the most of European countries, or?

[–] folaht@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

Very likely.
But the Netherlands has been exceptionally trusting of the US over all other nations.

Well deserved.
And surely this news will send a strong signal towards Russia that we are more united with our allies than anyone else and that we've got nothing to hide from them. /s

I'm from the Netherlands

(and the second sentence has been the actual thought process for years from anyone but me here 😢).

Yeah they couldn't figure out how to use foss

Probably takes a whopping 5-10 developers to set up the systems in question from scratch with FOSS. "From scratch" as in, not accounting for whatever insane backwards compatibility requirements exist, though that's not some impassable obstacle either.

They could, but they didn't want to.

That building looks like a 4080 founders edition

i didn't check but I'm guessing they gave him top secret clearance a long time ago

edit: looks like he's had top secret for a while but that's not supposed to give him access to payment data and all this other shit
