I’ve been doing research on candidates for the 2027 French presidential elections and the picture is pretty depressing when it comes to their technology use and views on AI.
Many candidates are totally AI-pilled… and they mostly communicate on Big Tech social platforms.
There is one exception though: @marinetondelier@piaille.fr who has accounts on the fediverse and ATmosphere AND incredible positions about #OpenSource and #DigitalSovereignty 🙌
“When a reference #museum arrives on the #SocialWeb, it does not merely solve its own #digitalsovereignty problem. It legitimizes the space, attracts its audience, and demonstrates that it is possible to have a quality digital presence outside the major platforms.
The demonstration effect is powerful. And it is exactly the kind of leadership #theFediverse needs to grow beyond technological circles.”

@samvie@chaos.social Sehr interessanter Abend, auch gut besucht! Vortrag zu #digitalsovereignty beim österr. #Bundesheer war mE das Highlight des heutigen #Netzpat :-)
I’m working on a video about European #TechSovereignty and the #EU #OpenSource strategy for the #MadeInEurope channel!
Ask me interesting questions (but stay polite pls), and I may feature your comment in the vid!
Also leave a comment if you know any #European #tech solutions, that I may not be aware of yet!

🥱 Microsoft has announced “digital sovereignty”. Again.
Every time, it’s new terms that mean little when a foreign government can still demand your data or cut off your services.
The stack, licensing, updates and rules stay under Microsoft’s control, not yours. That’s sovereignty-washing.
We go into more detail in our latest article on the topic: 👉 nextcloud.com/blog/…
Why we built OpenFeed, in 86 seconds.
Most of Europe’s social life runs on platforms owned elsewhere and paid for by advertising. We wanted one European network, run by one accountable company, with no ads, no profiling and an open API anyone can build on.
Yes, the video explains why we didn’t choose federation. We know many of you see that differently, and we’re happy to talk about it.

I truly admire the #foss revolution at @landesregierung@social.schleswig-holstein.de @digitalhubsh@social.schleswig-holstein.de driven by @dirkschroedter@norden.social @CIO@social.schleswig-holstein.de @AlexRosenthal@norden.social
Very often during my talks I mention them being role models making the change happen. Step by step, moving away from closed source. I love to see the passion for #digitalsovereignty which they all have.
Together with @Gina@fosstodon.org & @ldubost@framapiaf.org we had the privilege of chatting with them at the #sccon26. Fingers crossed for the #foss revolution in #SchleswigHolstein
RE: nrc.social/@MarloesdeKoning/…
Dutch bank ABN Amro (one of the big 3) is at risk of being hit by US sanctions, because of services it provides to the ICC.
Worst case scenario ABN AMRO would be excluded from the international banking system, which would be the “corporate death penalty” and has already caused another bank, the Amsterdam Trade Bank, to go under.

Nuttig stuk van RTL. Ik mis nog wel wat: ABN is voor veel transacties afhankelijk van het netwerk van Visa/Mastercard. Bij de Italiaanse thuusbankier van #AutisticiInventati zorgde die afhankelijkheid wrvoor dat ze hun rekening blokkeerden.
Today the @NRC@nrc.social reports that the Dutch police confiscated a server allegedly used by the Italian antifascist network #autisticiinventati
The Dutch police acted upon a request from the US government.
The server was hosted in a data center right next to our university building.
It is hard to overestimate the political significance of this intervention.
#DigitalSovereignty was never more important.
Amsterdam police seized a server belonging to Autistici/Inventati (A/I) from a data center at Amsterdam Science Park, acting on a US legal assistance request. Police digital experts are making an image of the drive, which goes straight to the US.
A/I spent 25 years providing free web hosting and email to about 20,000 left-wing and anti-capitalist groups. In August the US branded it a terrorist organization.

Moin! Du bist auf Jobsuche im #freesoftware Bereich? Schau mal hier, @univention@univention.social stellt ein!
“Let me spell it out for you. This is a Commission initiative. It’s not an EU-wide order to abandon Microsoft software. I’d love that myself, but that’s not what’s happening here. Teams will remain the principal platform, while Element provides a fallback intended to reduce dependence on an externally operated communications service. Got it? I hope so!
Mind you, there are other good reasons to dump Microsoft Teams. I’m not a fan. For my sins I have to use it and every other groupware program out there. And, I might add, I’ve been using them since Lotus Notes rolled out the door in 1990.
Digital sovereignty isn’t just a good idea. It’s essential. Or, as an EC July staff memo put it: “In practice, this means having greater control over our data and systems so that we can reduce risks and limit disruption to our work, wherever possible.” Exactly so.
Element’s architecture is well suited to digital sovereignty. Built on Matrix, an open standard for real-time communications, the platform supports self-hosting, decentralized operation, and interoperability with other Matrix-based systems. Element also supports end-to-end encrypted messaging and calls.”
Es geht los! Anja vom Frauenhaus Kiel und @dirkschroedter@norden.social haben diese Woche den Finanzierungsvertrag für Flora, einer neuen datenschutzfreundlichen Verwaltungsapp für Frauenhäuser, unterschrieben. Dank des Landesprogramms Offene Innovation vom @digitalhubsh@social.schleswig-holstein.de kann ich mich nun ein Jahr voll und ganz auf die Entwicklung konzentrieren. Ich freu mich drauf und werde euch auf dem Laufenden halten!
The US just sanctioned the entire International Criminal Court. Banks froze accounts, US tech vendors cut off licenses and updates, and YouTube pulled 700+ videos of possible war crime evidence. ⚖️
If one executive order can switch off a court, your family photos aren’t safe on American clouds either. 🇪🇺

Goedemorgen! Het is zondag 4 okt. Tijd voor D̶i̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶a̶g̶ #DoeiDag!
Vandaag is ook onze eerste fysieke #DoeiDag in Amersfoort. Met een select gezelschap gaan we deze DoeiDag vanaf 13:00 vieren.
Op het programma staat:
@elmine@deepthought.infullflow.net leert ons hoe je je email weer onder controle kan krijgen.
@BjornW@mastodon.social deelt zijn ervaringen met apps en een bijna Googleloze telefoon.
Doe ook mee!
Wat ga jij vandaag doen om weer een stukje digitaal onafhankelijker te worden?
Welke toffe tips heb je voor apps en diensten die je daarbij helpen?
