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.

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.

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

ITK skifter til europæisk cloud-hosting leverandør ITK tager sammen med Kultur og Borgerservice i Aarhus Kommune konsekvensen af uroen mellem EU og USA og flytter cloud-hosting fra Azure til Hetzner.

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.

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

Schon wieder Der Aufstieg der NSDAP/AfD

The rise of a fascist party in Germany - a repetition of history? This page by @michaelkreil.bsky.social illustrates the chilling similarities. datajournal.org/schon-wieder/

Try out the new Beeper Desktop and iOS beta It’s been a while! Since joining Automattic last year and merging with the Texts team, we’ve been building brand-new apps for desktop (on the foundations of the Texts desktop app) and i…

Fantastic update of @beeper.com iOS and Desktop! Wouldn't want to miss the luxury anymore of using only one chat app for all the networks. Living the dream of client-side #interoperability based on @matrix.org.

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.
