 @29b9efc5 hmm. I'm not sure you're seeing the same vision I am, so I guess you'll have to wait to see my explanation. But proprietary software has no place in crucial gov't services, nor in the storage of crucial data to the people and posterity. To date, we've paid to be colonised digitally, to the detriment of our culture and our sovereignty.    @44a8e2ed @3862d25e 
 @d72d5211 @44a8e2ed @3862d25e As I've said in the past, I don't think that idea is fundamentally wrong. 
 @29b9efc5 ok, well that's a start :) - so we need to work out what needs to change to make obvious the negative impact of the status quo, and to make that approach no longer workable. Realising, of course, that these corporations (who have vast back-room influence globally) have literally tuned the global trade and local policy decisions to make what they offer the *only viable option*. We need people who fully realise this to be making policy decisions.   @44a8e2ed @3862d25e
