That's great. I wish Visio/Vizio were not such common names for software and hardware. We done did those already. Do something else.

Beautiful. Trump is causing the US to lose its grip on the world in yet another way.

The French use "Visio" kinda like a generic term to talk about a video call (short for visio-conférence), I find that much better already than that W nonsense.

Every 2-3 years, the French government announces that they released a brand new homemade app that will replace some bigtech because sovereignty or whatever bureaucratic bullshit communication they fancy at the moment. Then they issue a BIG contract to an IT consulting company to develop the thing, who get tons of money to send junior devs to release a buggy tool that no one will ever use because migrations cost a lot. This new app will die like the others.

Visio? Don't they have to pay for copyright on the name "Visio" to Microsoft?

Stop replying on U.S. companies for technologies that provide the backbone of our governments!
