I hope France sparks a global following, in its attempts to unchain itself from American hi-tech platforms like Zoom, that makes the world's one-time adoration of Brigitte Bardot seem like a nothingburger.

@EugeneMcParland surprised Visio was the move instead of just hosting their own Jitsi instances? I mean isn't Jitsi french anyway?

@EugeneMcParland Great move

@EugeneMcParland Countdown till Microsoft starts suing them for trademark infringement... Visio is part of Microsoft Office.
