@Tutanota das ist lustig, wo in Frankreich doch jeder der open source verwendet, oder nur die Dokumentation von ublock Origin hat, als Terrorist gilt.https://untertauchen.info/2023/06/terrorist/
@HLunke I've struggled with Collabora as it has a tendency to not save changes fast enough, and if you close the tab with unsaved changes, it doesn't even give you a popup. Otherwise love it on my nextcloud
European digital sovereignty: two steps forward and one backward. The European Commission has announced the four winners of a tender for a Europen sovereign cloud, ranking them according to measurable criteria. It’s all very well, but it’s a shame that one of the four winning consortia relies on Google Cloud, which is therefore subject to the Cloud Act, under which the US government can access servers located outside the US. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_833#digitalsovereignty
@jim on the one hand it really sucks that this is the kind of stuff that we have to be doing right now, but also a different part of me is still a bit surprised it took this long.
"four mobile operating systems in the world" not counting UBPorts, PostmarketOS, Mobian, Maemo Leste, and of course KaiOS, which has shipped more units than Sailfish despite the latter's five-year head start
@eparto Valid concern. The trust model in web-delivered code differs from native apps with verifiable binaries — agreed.My analysis is framed from a GDPR standpoint: the relevant distinction is between platforms with routine server-side access to content and platforms where content is encrypted client-side with keys the provider does not hold. That remains significant even acknowledging web trust assumptions.Open-source clients and audits mitigate — imperfectly, but materially.
Furthermore, it is a huge security issue that both the public and private sectors of society have a ‘kill switch’ in Washington.Every year, 264 billion euros flow from Europe across the Atlantic, money that should be taxed here. 264 billion euros that form the basis for 2 million jobs. 2/2#DigitalSovereignty https://www.cigref.fr/technological-dependence-on-american-software-and-cloud-services-an-assessment-of-the-economic-consequences-in-europe
@bodhipaine @loops @pixelfed I like peer tube a bunch. Yah I have not switched to hosting my own instances. But have signed up for accounts on other instances. @_elena might have some more wisdom here.
@_elena @drfyzziks *Reads article*OMG I'VE BEEN QUOTED BY ELENA! 🤩🎉Thank goodness I didn't say anything stupid! I shall await all the requests for autographs and public appearances that my newfound fame will surely bring.Genuinely made my day, thank you.
@terminaltilt Consent is only one basis for handling personal data though, the rest still needs to be documented in a privacy policy. Like saving request logs with usernames and IPs for a while for security reasons, for instance.
New blogpost:"Musings on 'digital sovereignty'"I wanted to jot down some of my thoughts, before I forgot them.The more I think about it, the less clear the whole thing seems...https://neilzone.co.uk/2026/03/musings-on-digital-sovereignty/#DigitalSovereignty #FOSS #SelfHosting
