ERP software is always “lock in”, simply because it is unfeasable for companies to keep switching from one ERP software to another. Doing so would mean having to rework every workflow within the company, changing the software programing to be as least intrusive/different as possible.

I know from working daily with SAP’s nextmost competitor, and being usersupport within the company.

Microsoft is (…) vowing to fight the US government in court to protect Euro customers’ data if needed.

utterly worthless vow, if a corrupt US court then rules that protection doesn’t apply, MS is gonna shrug and say “oh well, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Gotta follow the law here”

feddit.au would not make sense, last time I checked Australia is not a german speaking countr. lemmy.de was one of the proposed new domains, iirc, but the users eventually chose feddit.org specifically because we did want to make it a clear successor to feddit.de, but we didn’t want to tie it to a country specific tld like .de, .at, or ch to indicate that none of the german speaking countries is “more important” or “prioritized” over the other.
