This time, the US government put sanctions not on individual members, but to the international criminal court itself. I would expect that's the end of contracts with and services from Microsoft. The prenotice period is 6 months. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/09/sanctions-icc-trump #endof10 #DigitalSovereignty #ICC #Microsoft #DAWO #EU_OS

🤔 It might be worth finding out which nonprofits were affected and whether this was, in fact, a mistake, kinda like the "mistake" of shutting down the ICC prosecutor's email account. "Microsoft accidentally wiped some nonprofit customers' M365 data before their retention period expired." "We have now investigated the recovery options, but unfortunately, the data cannot be recovered." The Register: Microsoft tells nonprofits their deleted M365 data isn't coming back https://www.theregister.com/saas/2026/09/28/microsoft-tells-nonprofits-their-deleted-m365-data-isnt-coming-back/5299433 @theregister@geeknews.chat @carlypage@mastodon.social #Microsoft

Problemen med AI eller rättare sagt stora språkmodeller (LLM) är inte att vi kan dödas av artificiell intelligens som börjat tänka själv. Helt enkelt för att det inte är möjligt att de ska kunna tänka själva eller vara självmedvetna. Det bara ser ut så då LLM:er använder vanligt språk som ett programmeringsspråk. Självlärande program har dock funnits mycket länge men de har tidigare bara använt språk som specialskrivit för att vara programmeringsspråk.  https://blog.zaramis.se/2026/09/28/problemen-med-ai/

Cześć #fediverse 👊 Dzisiaj ostatecznie pożegnałem #windows z mojego starego, kulawego laptopa. Jakiś rok temu zainstalowałem jako drugi system, tak na próbę #linuxa #kubuntu. Okazało się, że ten mój staruszek, odzyskał wigor. Na tyle dobrze się sprawuje, że odkąd dokonałem tej próbnej instalacji ani razu nie wróciłem do systemu #microsoft. I tak oto zdecydowałem się dzisiaj ostatecznie wywalić to zbędne obciążenie tej leciwej jak by nie patrzeć konstrukcji. Paozdrawiam @czach@mastodon.argilus.online 👍

RE: https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/117331226695571377 More on this: […] If U.S. threats to occupy Greenland had European countries thinking about digital sovereignty, the Trump Administration forced the issue itself by imposing sanctions against the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Microsoft reportedly cut off email and other services to its lead prosecutor, a "kill switch" that convinced officials across the continent of the need to move to infrastructure beyond U.S. control. https://boingboing.net/2026/09/25/dutch-government-to-replace-microsoft-windows-with-nixos-based-operating-system.html #icc #microsoft #usa #gazagenocide #palestine
