Yea, I'm in the process of converting our complete ETL infrastructure from SSIS/SQL Server to Python/PostgreSQL. Next step is Office 365, which will be more difficult, but doable since we are a small company anyway.

But now he's anyway at the table with them? Bullshitters all around. Fully open-source models are the only way.

Hopefully Mistral or open-source can get similar models working. At the moment on the Max subscription with Claude Code, need to get away though.

Very excited for this! Just recently moved my Google Pixel Pro 10 to GrapheneOS.

Accountability has gone out of the window a long time. The only way it will come back is when the people fight back.

Why has the world not made an open-source zero trust dating app? It's such a basic need it seems for people, but the current app landscape is filled with scams, dark patterns, selling your data, trying to keep you locked in,...

Scary that so much of the basic internet infrastructure is being managed by US companies. Maybe now the rest of the world will change and become more independent. We should have learnt our lesson long ago though.

One can only hope a company like Framework, Nothing, or Fairphone actually can produce and maintain some flagship devices running GrapheneOS or similar. The only reason I have been using Android is because of the freedom I have in my apps, customization, alternative app stores,... I hope the EU fights this with all their might.
