The new 🇩🇪German Coalition just made an explicit commitment to #EuroStack - the plan for digital strategic autonomy supported by European industry which doesn’t rely on a Brussels fund showering taxpayer money on projects w no commercial prospects, that no one wants - like #AI_factories. Big deal.

German government's "Centre for Digital Sovereignty" (ZenDIS) develops open source collaboration suite "openDesk" by bundling multiple great OSS projects - and deploys into public administration. Exciting! @sovereign.tech
Framework agreement: MS-365 alternative OpenDesk to conquer the Bundeswehr
The IT system house of the BWI has concluded a framework agreement with Zendis for "sovereign communication and collaboration solutions" such as OpenDesk.

The municipality of Aarhus in Denmark moved its cloud hosting from a US provider (Microsoft Azure) to German Hetzner. This brings data within EU borders, ensuring data protection and digital sovereignty. Most surprisingly, it even reduced costs by 2/3. itk.aarhus.dk/nyheder/proj...

I have never seen anything as disgusting as that. Genuinely no words.
BBC News now has the footage on their live page - you can rewind slightly to the beginning of the broadcast from the Oval Office if need be.

If it’s technically possible, it will inevitably be abused in illegitimate ways. A clear NO to encryption backdoors and chat control.

Challenging @timbl.bsky.social's view that internet concentration has a technical fix. The issue is network economics & social institutions. SOLID/EWADA has great use cases (e.g., healthcare) but can’t decentralise multi-sided platforms. @oxmartinschool.bsky.social

My doctoral research at @oii.ox.ac.uk deals with the Political Economy of Internet (De-)Centralisation. In particular, the governance (and power implications) of internet platforms. Bluesky (alongside the Fediverse/Mastodon) are both quite interesting cases I look at.

Hello Bluesky! I have been in a social media freeze lately, with all the centralised internet platforms and their worrying governance. Much of my crowds have come here - so, let's give this a try.
