The full list:
I approve of all these except GIMP.
GIMP is just terrible.
EU and its contries are pro open source and I fucking love it.
…and…and I am going to find a European girl and suck her nipples for as long as she wants.
Haven’t they also been trying to put back doors into everything for the last decade?
EU is democratic, which also means everyone can propose a law. Never have EU put a backdoor into anything, but its true that there have been law proposals for it.
Never voted through.
EU is not democratic. EU’s ruling entities are formed by governments of member countries. Which are supposedly democratic.
And about never voted through - sometimes putting pressure is enough.
I wonder if we could get EU to take over some states if we got enough votes to secede in some areas.
EU could potentially make a group category like for Norway or Switzerland, and then take in other countries all around the world to cooperate more and stand together with the EU on some issues.
Canada would be a great candidate. Maybe even Australia, but I dont really know anything about their politics.
To be clear. This is a government agency endorsing the software as safe and effective. So bureaucrats and employees can’t be reprimanded they use them.
This isn’t the French Prime Minister announcing the country will cancel Microsoft Office subscriptions and build a fund to support FOSS projects. Gimp has nowhere near the ressources they actually need.
😍 they know the good stuff
But also, I’d like we should be able to use internet without having to use uBlock Origin…
Yeah, whenever I hear people complaining about ads, I’m like “You guys are seeing ads?!”
I could understand if you needed to be some 1337 hacker to block ads, but uBlock is one of the easiest extensions I’ve ever used. You just set it and forget it. There’s zero configuration you need to do.
Of course, if there’s some ad that slips past, then you need to do some hacking, but that almost never happens nowadays.

Hold on. That page does not list VLC or KeePass. Is there more info about this other than the list? Or is the info in the title of this post incorrect?
[edit]
I see now. The page does not list VLC or KeePass, but those two both do come up if you put them into the search box. The software listed on the page is a very long list, but it is apparently on the ‘most popular’ stuff - not the entire list. (Although it is strange to see a heap of niche stuff, and stuff I’ve never heard of on the ‘most popular’ list while VLC doesn’t make the cut.)
I’m not sure this list is a very strong endorsement by the French Government. It seems to just be listing free software options, and then asking other people to sign up to say which ones they use.
