There was a time when OSX was the clean, intuitive, and highly functional desktop, but since Steve Jobs died, Apple's UX has gotten more and more cluttered. Jobs was a piece of shit (and that does NOT justify the next thing I'm going to say), but he did keep the UX *clean*. Gnome feels like was OSX could have evolved into. Although I does take about a dozen extensions to achieve that. :)</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/FLOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FLOSS</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a></p>

Semaphor<p>Skal vi gi’ op eller kæmpe for digital suverænitet i det offentlige Danmark? </p><p>Med Trumps tiltrædelse i januar i år er digital suverænitet kommet højt op på den politiske dagsorden. Panderynkerne er kun blevet dybere med Microsofts lukning af en ICC-chefanklagers konto. Det gælder ikke mindst i Danmark, som af FN er blevet kaldt verdensmestre i offentlig digitalisering. </p><p>I denne debat zoomer vi ind på den offentlige sektor og spørger: Hvad skal der til for at opnå digital suverænitet? Er det overhovedet muligt – og til hvilken pris? Og er det et sandsynligt scenarie at der bliver lukket ned for amerikanske platforme i Danmark? </p><p>Deltagere: <br> • Michael Ørnø, Direktør, Statens IT<br> • <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://semaphor.social/@fonsmark" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>fonsmark</span></a></span> Tobias Fonsmark, Direktør, Semaphor<br> • Mette Lundberg, Direktør for Politik og Kommunikation, IT-Branchen <br> • Peter Christian Bech-Nielsen, Redaktør, Radar/Version 2 (moderator)</p><p><a href="https://semaphor.social/tags/dkpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dkpol</span></a> <a href="https://semaphor.social/tags/digitalsuver%C3%A6nitet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>digitalsuverænitet</span></a> <a href="https://semaphor.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a></p>
