It's a good initial screening when going to the polling booth. People who deny truth are not fit to govern.

Denying truth may bring popularity if the truth is unpopular, and it certainly can bring bri^H^H^H lobbying cash, but a leader that cannot or will not face truth with courage and honesty is no leader at all.

@jakebroe is one of the best analysts for the Ukraine War & the reality of US politics' effect on it.

Reading the FAQs, the whole situation smacks of changing for the sake of change. It seems like some important functionality of the old system isn't available in the new system, but they're pushing it through regardless. Combined with this downplaying of Linux support, perhaps some political representatives with low technical skills have been talking to some lobbyists. And unless the Finnish school system has bought into Chromebooks in a big way, they seem unusually eager to support ChromeOS.

I wonder if the whole Secure Boot/Microsoft shim key issue is a part of this.

This doesn’t make any sense. Web apps are by their nature universal, but even if you needed to target individual OSes for some reason the app engines that one would use like Edge Webview or Electron run on all the OSes mentioned…

The only way this really makes sense is if they are going with something stupid like Lockdown Browser which, while based on chromium as far as I know, has no official Linux support.

The Finnish Marticulation Examination

It's 'matriculation', right? Both times? Is that part of the test?

Having worked as an admin for both systems, this absolutely sucks... The cost of running these servers is going to at least quadruple due to the new system requirements, and tens of thousands of USB sticks are going to become e-waste.

We used to run these servers on old laptops, but now with the new system requirements (which I won't disclose here, as I am not sure if they have been publically stated yet) the cost of running these servers is going to quadruple for most institutions, moreso for ones buying it as SaaS from OpinSys.

Not a fan AT ALL, but hey, at least I have 200 stickers advertising the new version 🙄

Easy fix, forbid the sales of computers in Finland that do not let user boot on the OS of choice, including of course Abitti.

Sure a small percentage of Fins might not buy their computers in the country via a national online shop but I bet it's a minority.

For the few who still do, make a RPi5 or equivalent available instead of a USB stick. It's a bit more expensive but not so much.

L'immagine è un quadrato di fumetto che racconta una conversazione tra una donna e un uomo seduti su un divano. La donna, con i capelli biondi raccolti in una coda, chiede all'uomo se ha una banana in tasca o se è solo felice di vederla. L'uomo risponde che effettivamente ha una banana in tasca, spiegando che c'era un'offerta al supermercato. La donna, con un'espressione sospettosa, chiede se ha un'altra banana in tasca. L'uomo risponde che sì, c'è un'altra banana, spiegando che era un'offerta 2x1. La scena è semplice e comica, con un tocco di romanticismo.
