Previous efforts have been to try and get more favorable pricing from MS but we'll see.

das ist lustig, wo in Frankreich doch jeder der open source verwendet, oder nur die Dokumentation von ublock Origin hat, als Terrorist gilt.

@Okuna WOW, wusste gar nicht, was für ein gefährlicher Mensch ich in diesem Sinne bin. Dachte immer nur, Privatsphäre ist selbst verständlich.... Schlimmer ich gebe das meinen Kindern mit auf den Weg. Aber sein Haus abzuschließen, wenn man es verlässt ist scheinbar noch vertretbar.

@Tutanota. I've sent an email this morning, bu still nothing, how long will it take. I'm currently on free plan, but I will upgrade to revolutionary plan once you provide subscription over Google play store

@maroje Technical support for free users only helps if it's a technical issue, and it can take a few days. You can also ask our community.

I am thrilled! 🤗 My partners secretary uses OpenOffice in the Technical School here in Luxembourg. Happy to see the others moving in the right direction, it is far less toxic!

I wish there was a larger movement. Europe seems to sort-of get it. We will see what will be after the orange man is no longer in power. I suspect Microsoft's lobbist are already at work and prepping for the next big thin in EU.

We need to start making choices based on the real value these products offer. Windows 11 for example is so so poor and gets hammered by tech support and tech reviewers for its glitchy, AI soaked core. Where can we turn these 'features' off? I am just one person so won't shake Microsoft's profits, but I won't be upgrading my operating system. MS can stick their latest version of Windows. By the way I note that this demands a high spec PC. I won't be upgrading that either.

That's a good news, but some of these countries also lean into age verification.

Perhaps they just want sovereignty, yet not respecting privacy.
