Die Bilanz von Schwarz-Rot nach 100 Tagen ist enttäuschend: Das Vergabegesetz verpasst es, Tech-Souveränität durch Freie Software zu sichern. Beim „Deutschland-Stack“ fehlen EU-Abstimmung und Transparenz. Keine verlässliche, langfristige Finanzierung für Freie Software. „Public Money? Public Code!“ muss endlich zur Regel werden: Öffentlich finanzierte Software muss Freie Software sein! Die Zeit zu handeln ist jetzt! 👉

After 100 days in office, the German federal government falls short on #FreeSoftware: Draft procurement act fails to secure tech sovereignty by prioritising Free Software. The “Germany Stack” lacks EU coordination and transparency. No reliable long-term funding for Free Software in the budget. Make “Public Money? Public Code!” the rule: Software paid with public money must be Free Software! The time to act is now! 👉

📣 Is "disable" the same as "uninstall"? We do not believe it. Google does. Under the DMA, the FSFE with a coalition of civil-society organisations prompts the @European Commission to open proceedings to investigate Alphabet's (#Google) regarding the uninstallation of pre-installed apps in Android. Uninstalling is completely removing the app, not just disabling it! This is key for #DeviceNeutrality! 📎 📄.pdf #SoftwareFreedom #DMA
