    The point is that learning institutions should not prefer one commercial companies solutions vs another.

    In fact, they should not use or be dependent on commercial companies at all.

    Learning stuff and implementing what you learned should be available for all. Not just people with the money.

    Companies know this so they give away their stuff for free to these schools knowing they will contain these people for life.

    We need to break out of that extreme vendor lock-in.








  • “If you want to destroy Hamas, you have to kill the civilians who are being used as human shields,”

    According to Dershowitz, the innocent civilians need to blame Hamas for putting them in that position.

    Well, how about Israël taking some of the blame in creating Hamas in the first place?

    You cannot keep subjugating and belittling a people and not expect them to rise up sooner or later.

    First peacefully. And Israel did not listen. Then, somewhat more forcefully. Israel did not listen. Now Hamas is trying a third time to make them listen.

    It’s almost like Mozes pleading with the Pharaoh. And the Pharaoh is not listening.

    Israel government needs to wake up.

    P.s. I’m not talking about, or against, the Jewish faith. I’m talking about the Israeli governments actions towards living breathing people. And that is NOT anti semitic.

    Ubuntu is moving towards a closed environment with their snaps (when using apt install firefox, it installs a snap. That is just plain wrong). But they are doing other weird things as well.

    RedHat, well: IBM. They mangled the whole Centos thing right before eol of the old one and the intro of a new version. Currently, when you legally decide to share the source code of Redhat, you are allowed to do that (according to the GPL) but Redhat will cancel your subscription after you do that,

    So, yes, technically you are allowed to share the source code, but they will kick you out of the building.

    All in all, Debian is the only one left for serious consideration in my servers / desktops.
