I saw this on a Finnish post, so let me reformulate it a bit and post it in English.

Finnish universities 1996:

"Here's an operating system we created for you. Here's a chat network we created you can use with the operating system."

Finnish universities 2026:

"We don't know how to replace Facebook for public communications."

Learned helplessness.

@anttipeltola exactly. It is also absurd how the public sector believes it is ok to pay hundreds of millions of euros to U.S. companies instead of probably spending a fraction of that money build their own solution based on existing open source code and open standard.
