no mod points but great post
I find it amazing that nobody sat down and planned this out with this thinking in place - I know in healthcare it's basically impossible to do anything without having to integrate according to ABC standards and aligning to XYZ regulation. It really seems like someone just said "yeah let's use Flock, here's a search engine, have fun!". Truly mind boggling.

'Core Suite' is fully open source and would cover most day to day needs of 'non-enterprise' users: files (Nextcloud), office editing (Collabora Online), email/calendar (Open-Xchange), chat/video (Element/Jitsi), project management, wiki, etc.
'Enterprise Edition' does add paid operational features:
- Automated user provisioning/deprovisioning and central rights management
- Audit trails and administrative dashboards
- Mail high availability/clustering and prioritised security patch channel
- Some proprietary add-ons from upstream vendors (all of whom have solid FOSS products) (e.g., Element Server Suite Pro features, Open-Xchange Dovecot Pro, Nextcloud Enterprise admin/audit/Guard)
On cost, Schleswig-Holstein showed €15M/year licence savings vs a €9M one-off migration/infra investment, which sounds quite effective to me, but remember that cost is only one part of this stuff.

sorry to nitpick but it wasn't 'the UN' that refused to condemn China's genocide. There was a vote at UNHCR in 2022 to set up a meeting to talk about it. The 'wretched hive of scum and villainy' is more accurately all countries below who voted No or abstained:
Bolivia, Cameroon, China, Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Cuba, Eritrea, Gabon, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Mauritania, Namibia, Nepal, Pakistan, Qatar, Senegal, Sudan, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Argentina, Armenia, Benin, Brazil, The Gambia, India, Libya, Malawi, Malaysia, Mexico, Ukraine

"Rupert Murdoch says watching Fox News is 'Non-Negotiable'"
Do we really need a Slashdot story on every single fucking mention of AI anywhere in the universe?? Nowadays it's less 'news for nerds' and more recycling the same thin talking points so zealots on both sides can just argue as much as possible and inevitably end up insulting rsilvergun along with a history of all their posts.

ok so then why haven't we seen stories about other stuff that REALLY REALLY matters here, like the withdrawal of funding for Jodrell Bank Observatory, or the death of Gunther von Hagens ??
