RE: mastodon.bsd.cafe/@82mhz/11572

In my experience, 95% of the situations I follow could transition to totally open-source solutions without major problems. Some others could do so by implementing a progressive plan.

The limitation is almost always human: people accustomed to working in a certain way for years, and a lack of willingness and commitment to change, even minimal change. If in private sectors, this happens under the "threat" of a drop in productivity. If in public sectors, under the threat of severe inefficiencies.

I saw a local election won (in part) thanks to a promise not to change anything.

Inertia, at times, causes incalculable damage.

① 대전광역시장이 빵을 드는 행위가 처분성을 지닌 권력적 사실행위로 판단된다면, 이에 대해 헌법소원을 제기하여 헌법재판소로부터 대전광역시장이 빵을 듦을 무효로 한다는 판단을 구할 수 있겠군.

My home state of Bavaria is planning to spend 1 billion Euros in the next five years on Microsoft products. One fucking billion Euros!
Meanwhile, the state of Schleswig Holstein has been transitioning to open source software and estimates that it will save them around 15 million Euros a year.

Maybe it's time to move. People up North seem to be smarter.

Cloud: Row in Bavaria over billion-euro Microsoft contract without tender

The open-source camp, computer scientists, and the IT industry warn of the loss of digital sovereignty in Bavaria and call for a halt to Microsoft negotiations.

운명의 신비로운 여정

1. 모든 선택은 나의 길을 만든다
2. 우연은 없고 인연만 있다
3. 내가 믿는 대로 세상이 움직인다
4. 어려움은 성장의 기회일 뿐
5. 두려워하지 말고 앞으로 나아가라

새로 산 전기포트, 그냥 쓰면 안 돼요···“물 끓이고 버리기 최소 10번 이상 해야”

서울시보건환경연구원 조사 결과 새 전기포트를 사용할 때 물을 여러 차례 끓여 버리는 ‘길들이기’ 과정만으로도 미세플라스틱 노출을 크게 줄일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 연구원은 플라스틱·스테인리스·유리) 3개 재질 총 11종의 전기포트를 대상으로 200회까지 사용해 미세플라스틱 발생 특성을 실험한 결과를 14일 공개했다. 그 결과 모든 재질의 전기포트는...

I pulled all my e-books off Kindle yesterday because of this. It effectively ends my writing career because, despite everyone complaining that Amazon is evil... nobody buys books from the many other stores my books are available on.

I am sad. I am angry. I am *exhausted*.

I am ONE indie author. I am nobody. My protest is utterly meaningless in the face of this ever-expanding AI takeover. Unless all indies do this, and all tradpub authors pressure their publishers to fight Amazon, my pulling my books is not going to do a damned thing to make Amazon stop doing this. All it will do is end whatever tiny little chance I might still have had at having a real writing career.

But I am so sick of AI being shoved into every aspect of my life and not even having the right to opt out of it. This is the ONLY protest I CAN make. So that's what I'm doing. And at least I know they won't be able to use my books this way.

Kindle's New Gen AI-Powered "Ask This Book" Feature Raises Rights Concerns - Writer Beware

In a recent press release, Amazon noted that some new features were coming to Kindle. We’re adding new AI-powered reading features that preserve the magic of reading on Kindle. Story So Far lets you catch up on the book you’re reading—but only up to where you’ve read without any spoilers. For our endlessly curious readers,Read More

Authors are not okay, folks. Between AI destroying the industry and wrecking people's careers, and the big spike in piracy since people decided the solution to boycotting Amazon is *stealing* from people who are literally making *pennies* (21 cents per day... that's what I made in book sales in 2025. I calculated it yesterday), we are not okay.

Please, please, please support authors. If you can buy books in places other than Amazon, please do so. If you can't buy books, please borrow them from your library. Request that your library pick up titles from your favourite authors (most libraries have form you can fill out to do that). Leave reviews everywhere you can. Sign up for author newsletters, and follow authors on social media. Repost social media content. Talk about your favourite books - help other people discover that they exist! All of these things *matter*, and you really have NO idea how much they mean to most authors.
