11·15 hours agoWell, LibreOffice and other free office suites use by default .odt, but all are capable to open and export any other document format, even more than MSOffice is capable to do. In Spain since years administrations and companies are usin LibreOffice and OpenOffice without problems. Spain is one of the most advanced countries in the EU respect OpenSource-
Open Source Initiatives and Events in Spain
Spain has several notable open source initiatives and events spanning education, government, and industry:
Government Initiatives
The Galician government launched Mancomún in 2006 to promote free and open source software (FOSS), achieving significant cost savings by migrating public administration to LibreOffice and other open source tools[1]. By 2018, the government completed migration of all workstations to open source productivity suites, reducing licensing costs by 50% (€1.7 million annually)[1:1].
Major Events
Open Source Summit Europe takes place in Spain, with the 2023 event held in Bilbao from September 19-21[2]. The summit brings together developers, technologists and community leaders to advance open source innovation[2:1].
Education and Resources
Several Spanish-language open educational resources support learning:
- El Atareao (atareao.es), a Spanish blog focused on GNU/Linux and open source topics[3]
- Español Abierto, a collection maintained by the University of Texas for Spanish language learners[4]
- LibriVox’s Spanish audiobook collection featuring public domain works[4:1]
Business Adoption
Major companies recognize Spain’s open source expertise. In 2016, Accenture acquired Spanish firm Tecnilógica to expand its open source capabilities, noting the company’s skill in “using emerging and open source technologies”[5].
I think that it don’t mean the Steam website, but steam pressure.
Agree, better to call it LLM, because intelligence is needed by the user, not a thing of an algorrithm. And yes, Swiss is known for good products, but as said before, also other EU countries use products which are even better as the ones from the US. Only rest to also use these. See eg. the German KDE and its products, even the US forked these, eg. Blink and WebKit are forks from the KHTML engine by KDE, used by its Konqueror browser (Linux only).
Read about the procedence of the Apertus Data, there isn’t any copyright violation scrapping.
It’s an recurrent claim by the right wings, but same as the Chatcontrol, rejected, because incompatibility with the privacy rights in the EU which would be violated with Palantir and the Chat control… There isn’t any reason to introduce the control, because the current law permits an individual chat control in an crime investigation with an court order, but not an global control, which would be the same as open and controlling private cards and correspondence, which obvious is a no go.

Well, compared to the energy used by the LHC, anyway, the Swiss use mostly Hydro-electric plants for the Energy, normal in Alpine zones. (~65% of Swiss energy is renevable (Hydro, Solar, Eolic). Even used the heat produced by the CSCS.
Anyway, there are tons of EU alternatives, even superior, to US products and services. It’s not a tecnically but an political problem to switch, which at least is on the way.
Well, respect AI, there is a big one from Swiss, Apertus with its PublicAI, using the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS), also used by the CERN. All 100%FOSS and privacy centred. I currently use the PublicAI in my bookmarks (free account (nick,mail). The Apertus dataset can also be downloaded if someone want to selfhost it (~90 GB min)
31·1 day agoIt’s nothing new, steganographic encryption is used as long I remeber, to hide messages into texts, images, videos and even music. There are a lot of tools out there which everyone can use. The advantage is, that an normal encrypted message can cause suspicions, but not so an inocent selfi from the beach, a cat photo, an mp3 of an summerhit, or an “unencrypted” text message, all these can be a container for hidden messages. It can also be used for invisible watermarks for an copy protection, but also for evil uses in autoexecutables malware in images or mp3 files, as seen in the past.

Account is free, minimum data (nick and mail, if you want, use an disposable one), well, also Lemmy need an account like almost any other service you use. The account is not shared, but with account you can customize it with plug ins and for an API. Otherwise you can selfhost it, but than you don’t have the power of the supercomputer from the swiss datacenter, the same used by the LHC of the CERN, but only the server you use to host it. It don’t store previous chats if you don’t want, otherwise only stored in your HD.

Maybe already members of the ICE agents.
Apertus PublicAI is also capable to translate in a lot of lenguages, among other uses. Swiss made, privacy focused and FOSS. On eye level to the most advanced US AIs. It use the infrastructure of the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS)
