This is why we need real digital sovereignty.
We need a Canadian free desktop and mobile Linux distro, Canadian data centers, and Canadian services.
We could have a few good devs build and maintain an open universal blue distribution and seed it for all Canadians to use freely. Completely open.
I think this is a great idea. Also find the "a few good devs" bit pretty laughable. Like it's be expensive and worth the money. Although I'd rather see schooling and hospitals get the money first
They need IT infrastructure as much as everyone else.
Canadian data centers
Computing Canada has been promising this for almost two decades. Fucking useless agency, Carney should kill it.
Right, let's keep giving money to Amazon instead.
I'd love to work on digital sovereignty but the government won't fund it and they'd pick all the wrong people to do it.
