Combining French snobbery with Linux snobbery could set off some kind of chain reaction.
How soon until Quebec joins the Bloc de L’nux?
Like Tux but with cool sunglasses and cigarettes.
Don’t forget the baret and baguette.
You think there might be a self-sustaining snobbery fission chain reaction?
How soon until Quebec joins the Bloc de L’nux?
Wasn’t this foretold in Infinite Jest?
J’utilise le Arch de Triomphe, btw
As a French, I wait before believing it. The DINUM does not really hold authority above the rest of the government and all the other administrations. Our gendarmerie switched to ubuntu more than 10 years ago, but the police planned to change all its computers to accomodate to windows 11, and the DINUM advocated to for dong to stop using american cloud providers, but we have a shit ton of public stuff running on american cloud, including the health data hub.
L’Nux
Why not Des Nux?
Le Nux
Hello, this is Le Nus Torvalds, and I pronounce Le Nux as Le Nux.
La or Le?
They won’t go back. once you start getting used to having logic that responds to your commands it really is hard to give that up to ai slop.
So I can no longer make the joke about removing french language packs using
rm -fr /?No, you can make it even harder now that they’re going linux
I just tried this! OMG whadoidowhadoidowhadoido
lol
Meanwhile in the UK our government is strengthening ties to palintir. We always have to be the losers of Europe
You guys literally wrote the book on Orwellian governments.
UK is US-lite.
Nah. That’s Canada. They even have their own MAGAts/deep south in Alberta.

Feck, wish I could argue with you!
Eh, Germany is currently doing the same, so we’re both losing
Afaik France still has contracts with Palantir
No doubt, but this is a step in the right direction. If it works it proves the value of further breaking away from the US. While we still buy whatever they’re selling, and provide support loading their bombs for their wars.
Hey at least you aren’t getting natural gas from those guys. You know those extra super duper bad guys.
I mean, technically y’all aren’t part of Europe anymore…
Yeah they are? Just not the eu
Hon_Hon_OS??? Sign me up.
This is how you renegotiate with MS.
Hopefully the time for negotiations is past
Yeah, I think/hope this is their “Find Out” era.
Someone way better at editing gifs than me should edit the 5th element “We’re sending somebody in to negotiate!” Scene to have tux superimposed over Bruce Willis

It’s fine, they’ve sorted out sleep mode on most hardware a while ago
Let’s hope they’ll use Gendarmerie’s almost 20 years of experience on that.
Glad I found this comment. It was my first thought when seeing the headline: haven’t they already been doing that for decades?
I like that they went with “Gendbuntu” instead of a boring official sounding acronym.
Between this and expedition 33, France is coming up with some Ws these days.
Zomg, they will not allow you to sudo remove le French language!!!
Okay… Fire ze missiles!
