The Danish Ministry of Digitization is to completely abandon Microsoft in the coming months and use Linux instead of Windows and switch from Office 365 to LibreOffice. Minister Caroline Stage (Moderaterne) announced this in an interview with the daily newspaper Politiken. It comes just a few days after the country's two largest municipalities initiated similar steps. This summer, half of the ministry's employees will be equipped with Linux and LibreOffice. If everything goes as expected, the entire ministry will be free of Microsoft by the fall, Politiken summarizes.

The Ministry of Digitalization's move away from Microsoft is therefore taking place against the backdrop of a new digitalization strategy in which the Kingdom's "digital sovereignty " is given priority. According to newspaper reports, the opposition is also calling for a reduction in dependence on US tech companies. Just a few days ago, the administration of the capital Copenhagen announced its intention to review the use of Microsoft software. The second-largest municipality, Aarhus, has already started to replace Microsoft services. Stage has now told Politiken that they should cooperate and that it is not a race. All municipalities should work together and strengthen open source.

When asked how her ministry would react if the changeover was not so easy, Stage replied that they would then simply return to the old system for a transitional period and seek other options: "We won't get any closer to the goal if we don't start." So far, she has only heard from employees who welcome the move. But in her ministry, which is mainly concerned with digitalization, she expects a lot of interest anyway. She also assured them that the initiative is not about Microsoft alone, as they are generally far too dependent on a few providers.

As background to the move, the article also refers to the events at the International Criminal Court, where an email account operated by Microsoft was disconnected. This caused an uproar across Europe. In Denmark, there is also the fact that the new US President Donald Trump has been announcing for weeks that his country wants to take over Greenland. The island in the North Atlantic is a self-governing part of Denmark, and the outrage at Trump's proposal is huge. The desire to reduce dependence on US companies is therefore evidently even greater there than in the rest of Europe.

O Ubuntu não é a única distribuição Linux planejando uma grande mudança, pois o Manjaro KDE Plasma também planeja migrar para o Wayland.

Em uma postagem no fórum do Manjaro, Artem Grinev, responsável pelo KDE, intitulada "Manjaro KDE Plasma planeja migrar para o Wayland", ele afirmou: "Tenho usado o Wayland há um bom tempo, e as coisas estão mais ou menos estáveis (com o driver proprietário da NVIDIA). Acho que é hora do Manjaro migrar para o Wayland por padrão, tanto para a sessão Plasma quanto para o SDDM."

A postagem é curta e direta, com um pequeno FAQ e algumas opções de votação para os membros do fórum do Manjaro relatarem sua experiência atual com o Wayland.

Esperamos que, quando a mudança for realizada, tudo ocorra sem problemas.

Mais detalhes na postagem do fórum.

Segundo os comentários, os subreddits r/europe_sub e r/canada_sub também podem estar envolvidos.

Tradução

r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, r/tech_news

Você pode ter visto posts do r/world no seu feed popular esta semana, especialmente sobre os protestos em Los Angeles. Esse é, de fato, um subreddit "novo". Muitos dos posts populares do r/world que chegam ao r/all não são apenas postados pelos próprios moderadores do subreddit, mas também são explicitamente projetados para retratar os manifestantes de forma negativa. Todos esses posts são exemplos disso:

• Protestantes anti-ICE agora estão jogando pedras na polícia
• Presidente Trump ordena intervenção militar
• Vídeo: manifestantes atiram pedras em agentes
• Perspectiva de agentes da Patrulha de Fronteira

Um dos moderadores recentemente adicionados ao r/world parece ter ligação direta com a Palantir: Palantir_Admin. Para quem não conhece a Palantir:
Arquivo NYTimes: Trump e Palantir rastreando dados de americanos

Um usuário do subreddit percebeu isso e fez um post denunciando:
Quem mais percebeu que esse sub é uma operação psicológica?

Aqui está Palantir_Admin solicitando controle do r/world via r/redditrequest:
Pedido de posse do r/world (inativo por 9 meses)

Dois moderadores em específico, Virtual_Information3 e Excalibur_Legend, estão postando em massa propaganda óbvia no r/world. Eles também moderam os outros três subreddits mencionados e fazem a mesma coisa lá. Adicionei abaixo, mas reforço: Virtual_Information3 é moderador do r/Palantir.

• r/newsletter tem 1.200 membros. Todos os posts são desses dois usuários. Nenhum tem engajamento. Esse subreddit está sendo divulgado no r/world como um subreddit satélite.
• r/investinQ (typosquatting intencional, aliás) tem 7.200 membros. Quase todos os posts são desses dois usuários. Quase nenhum tem engajamento.
• r/tech_news, 508 membros. Todos os posts são deles. Zero engajamento.

Acredito que estamos testemunhando um esforço coordenado para subverter subreddits populares e substituí-los por versões propagandísticas ligadas à Palantir. Talvez seja exagero, mas isso não cheira bem.

EDIT 1: r/cryptos, r/optionstrading e r/Venture_Capital também parecem suspeitos.

EDIT 2: Faltei mencionar a maior prova – Virtual_Information3 é moderador do r/palantir.

EDIT 3: Palantir_Admin foi removido da equipe de moderação do r/world.

Isso depois do YouTube derrubar a página do A Nova Democracia. Marquem minhas palavras, em 2026 vão derrubar até página de partido com registro eleitoral.
