Denmark really needs to step up its game here. We function on a public tender system where behemoth private corporations bid on public sector solutions (like our digital ID system, public childcare app, corona pass, digital post, etc.) None of this code is OSS and the result is very shady behavior from certain giants (I'm looking squarely at you Netcompany) who hold our digital infrastructure hostage. I've worked directly in this sector as a SWE for a few years now and I can tell you it is rotten. We pay vast quantities in taxes and what we pay to these parasitic corporations out of our taxes is exploitive. I hope we can turn this ship around but we're so deep in the muck I don't know how we can extricate ourselves without getting pulled down in the consequent riptide.
