A screenshot of the new Plasma 6.6. On the background of abstract-looking evergreens, you can see three open windows, one showing Plasma's System Setting utility on the left, KDE's software management app Discover in the center, and the calendar widget open in the bottom right hand corner.
Along the bottom you can see Plasma's classic floating panel.

What matters is not whether software is developed or sold by European vendors, but whether all users are allowed to use, study, share, and improve it. A stack is sovereign only if it is 100% #FreeSoftware, guaranteeing data sovereignty, the ability to adapt and switch providers, and full transparency.
Trumps Cyberpolitik zwingt Europa zur Wahl: US- oder China-Tech-Stack. Die Souveränität des alten Kontinents ist Thema der Münchner Cyber-Sicherheitskonferenz.
They are "Open Weights." This means the company allows you to run the model, but you have no right to see how it was made or what data it was trained on.
We need to stop letting companies redefine "Open Source" to mean "available for download." Words have meanings.
If a company claims they are open source but plans to "someday" release the code, or hides the training data, they are a poser. This is "Open Washing." They are co-opting the term to earn the community's goodwill for marketing without actually respecting the four freedoms.
500 Millionen Euro? Ob es da nicht ein bisschen Einsparpotenzial gibt?
Die digitale Abhängigkeit des deutschen Staates von einem einzelnen Tech-Giganten nimmt besorgniserregende Ausmaße an: Fast 500 Millionen Euro hat die Bundesverwaltung allein im Jahr 2025 für Microsoft-Lizenzen ausgegeben! 😱
Das Bild zeigt einen Standort des Bundesverwaltungsamts. Im Bild steht: "Deutlicher Anstieg gegenüber Vorjahren
Bundesverwaltung gibt fast 500 Millionen Euro für Microsoft-Lizenzen aus".
