Because Microsoft blocked chief prosecutor Karim Khan account, the ICC is moving away from Microsoft to Open Desk.
For anyone wondering: openDesk, the solution they’re using, wasn’t developed from the ground up. It contains standard open source tools like Nextcloud, Matrix and Collabora.
It’s sort of bothers me that government business will be handled in the cloud of some random company. Sure, a lot of these things are open source but… Do we get to compare checksums?
They’d be doing an enterprise install but here’s the gitlab readme for the open desk community edition and with links for a Kubernetes installation:

This is fantastic! First time I hear about this project!
I’m glad they finally had an easy to understand example of why depending on a closed source ecosystem from a foreign country is insane for any kind of public authority.
Especially one that is currently collaborating to help carry out a genocide.
a German-developed software
a […] software
\sigh
That’s like requesting 1 happiness or 11 lovely.
If it makes you feel better, this may be a mistranslation from German where saying “eine Software” is appropriate.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who is bothered by this shift away from software being a noun.
The software in question consists of at least 3 softwares. Thus
1 software = 3 software
Microsoft Office: it’s not even good enough for international criminals anymore ™
