Are there any studies done on how much linux can save governments money if they do a whole migration?

Microsoft are deep into the government with exchange and Active Directory with most being migrated to Microsoft365 and Azure.

Add in MS Teams, SharePoint, MS SQL, 30 years of business rules living in old excel macros that ends up running the entire company.

Windows enterprise licences would be a tiny part of their spend and far too costly to mitigate away from. Most large corporations are virtualising old windows version just to keep their existing legacy apps runnings.

Australia’s baby drought underscores challenges facing young workers

It’s interesting to me that you point out how far we have fallen as a society, yet your suggested solution is free childcare to enable more of the same.

As humans shouldn’t we be asking harder questions? Why is our entire family structure working longer and harder for less?

The change we need is single income households being viable again and our elderly being in a position to retire.

Dual income households are only essential as incomes haven’t kept pace with the increase to living costs. The working class were conned into it being the new normal.

You’ve taken it a step further by saying that even grandparents are working longer which reduces babysitting options.

Yet at no point have you identified you’ve been hoodwinked. You just want to keep pressing forward, working harder for longer with free childcare. Worse still you don’t seem to understand that it is a fall as we are all worse off because of it.

“I’ll tell you how I feel about school, Jerry: It’s a waste of time. Bunch of people runnin’ around bumpin’ into each other, got a guy up front says, ‘Two plus two,’ and the people in the back say, ‘Four.’ Then the bell rings and they give you a carton of milk and a piece of paper that says you can go take a dump or somethin’. I mean, it’s not a place for smart people, Jerry. I know that’s not a popular opinion, but that’s my two cents on the issue.” — Rick

The lack of ads!

A temperature system would be good for aged content. Content that isn’t considered hot is dropped from federated instances and only lives on the parent.

If some old thread goes viral years later it is hot again and refederated until it cools. Old content would be replaced with a link back to original instance.

Edit: Drop temp to be server side config as some instances may want to be archives
