More #enshitification from #apple. Trying to migrate my contacts from iCloud to #NextCloud by exporting to VCF file then importing to the new system.
Turns out that apple #VCF files are different to everyone else’s!
What’s the point in having #standards if #BigTech are going to ignore them to make it difficult for you to leave their platform?
Spaßfakt:
Ein Netzwerk, das niemandem gehört, kann auch niemand am Stück kaufen. Kein Milliardär am Algorithmus-Regler, keine Chefetage, die sich je nach politischer Wetterlage neu sortiert. Nur tausende kleine Server, betrieben von Leuten mit zu vielen Raspberry Pis. Widerstand war selten so nerdig, und so spendenfinanziert.

It is 'funny'. Countless people today express how #AI has made it so much easier to figure stuff out that previously involved a whole bunch of manual activities and investigation.
Basic example are the AI summaries at the top of search results, that may obviate the need to click through to individual websites (to the detriment of site content creators).
But also way more complex tasks, such as "Plan my 2wk sightseeing trip to Thailand with this and that price/quality criteria and personal preferences".
Today a #LLM may honor that request. But as our corporate web is based on #Ads and #SurveillanceCapitalism, as soon as there's consolidation in the AI sector you can bet that #LLMs services will pounce in these practices too.
And it will bring #Enshittifaction to new unprecedented heights. With #BigTech in firm control, elites and shareholder raking in the Big Money, serving marketeers, normal people truly become the product: Lambs to the slaughter.
"Is Palantir the most toxic company in the world right now? So far this year, it’s been a central plank of the brutal ICE removals of alleged illegal immigrants in the US. Its software was used to bomb a girls’ school in Iran, killing 168 children. Its CEO, Alex Karp, published a “technofascist manifesto” from the company’s X account that accused “some cultures” of being “regressive”.
And through it all, it continued to build the NHS’s Federated Data Platform (FDP), handling the entire nation’s sensitive health data. It’s a £330m contract and it’s now up for renewal. There’s no doubt that Palantir has been twitchily watching as public antipathy has grown. Campaigners, MPs and news outlets – including the Nerve – have raised questions the company has largely refused to answer. Most saliently of all: is it even fit for purpose?
A body of experts say not. And, the killer point: not one but two parliamentary committees have conducted thorough inquiries which resulted in headlines advising the NHS to ditch it.
Palantir has fought back. Louis Mosley, the UK CEO, has attempted to tweet his way through it and, in September, the company splashed out on an expensive new hire: the former deputy leader of the Labour party, the Baron of Wyre Forest otherwise known as Tom Watson.
A consummate political insider who knows the entire Labour leadership and, according to one MP, knows where the “bodies are buried”, he’s been working his contacts. But behind the scenes, campaigners were confident that – as the deadline on a break clause in February 2027 loomed – the Burnham government would have to reconsider the contract.
Would Burnham really waste his political capital on a widely reviled firm whose Trump-loving co-founder, Peter Thiel, has vocally announced that he believes in neither democracy nor the NHS? "

Widerstand gegen KI-Rechenzentren
Nicht nur in den USA entwickeln sich Widerstände gegen den Bau immer größerer „KI“-Rechenzentren. Die Entstehung einer Bewegung liegt auch in Europa in der Luft – gegen „KI“ als Ungleichheit verstärkendes Herrschaftsprojekt, gegen die ökologische Zerstörung durch Chipproduktion und Rechenzentren und gegen die gesellschaftliche Zersetzung durch die Entfesselung faschistoider BigTech-Phantasien. Was können wir von Kämpfen verschiedener Widerstands-Zyklen lernen? Welche Erfahrungen hinsichtlich ihrer Organisierungsversuche und Ausdrucksformen (u. a. Riots, Streiks und Sabotagen) sind in Bezug auf eine breite und vielfältige Bewegung wertvoll? Welche Strategien des Widerstands lassen sich daraus entwickeln und welche wären in einer völlig vernetzten und „KI“-durchsetzten Gesellschaft kaum noch denkbar?

Muito animado de estar nessa rede social. Não posto muito, mas diariamente vejo ideias legais que vcs andam postando. A cada dia mais entusiasmado com o Fediverso.
E estou voltando a ter um entusiasmo com software livre também. A verdade é que quanto mais dados deixarmos nas mãos das Big Techs, mais será usado contra nós em nome do lucro em algum momento.
Ainda preciso repensar vários dos meus usos diários da tecnologia, principalmente quando se fala do lado pessoal. Mas ao mesmo tempo, já comecei. E também me sinto bem em estar mais consciente disso tudo que está acontecendo. Nós usamos as plataformas e pagamos com nossos dados, que são valiosíssimos, principalmente agora na era da IA. Não sou contra a IA, fiz mestrado nesse assunto quando nem era moda e trabalho com elas diariamente. Mas sou a favor que elas sejam usadas não só para corte de gastos, mas realmente para problemas que nos afligem e precisam ser resolvidos: resolução de crimes, buscar curas para doenças intratáveis, expandir a educação, etc.
Em breve vou passar a compartilhar um pouco mais das tecnologias que ando usando (ou experimentando), alternativas ao que as big techs nos oferecem.
"A top national security official warned months ago that the country's reliance on Microsoft risked a "disproportionate impact" if the tech company suffered an outage.
And just last week, the federal government ran a simulation of a cybersecurity incident with its agencies and private companies, including Microsoft, to identify and prepare their responses in the event of a crisis.
Speaking on the InnovationAus podcast in August, Home Affairs national security head Hamish Hansford referenced Australia's deep reliance on Microsoft services, and directly warned of a "disproportionate impact" if the company was hit by an outage.
"[Big tech providers] underpin our national security. They underpin the functioning of the economy, and they are individually important for how we operate," he said."

"For PC builders and hardware enthusiast the reported admission is validating, and quite glaring. Jensen Huang, instead of allowing excess TSMC wafer capacity and memory flow back into reasonable priced GeForce products and broader DRAM production, allegedly scrambled to use its own balance sheet to finance data center buildouts so AI startups and absorb Nvidia’s over-ordered chips.
Reports of glut of unsold hardware have been around for a while, but only now mainstream media is catching up to what Nvidia was reportedly doing. Many industry analysts including Ed Zitron reported months ago how Nvidia and other companies have exposed themselves to devastating financial risk, and also made sure to channel stuff META, Google, Amazon, and others by leveraging their FOMO.
Zitron estimated that at least $200 billion worth of Nvidia AI chips are sitting idle in warehouses, purchased by cloud giants that lacked the electrical grid capacity or immediate end-user demand to plug them in.
The bottom line is, AI demand is no way near as high that it would consume this much silicon."
Il recente blackout di Outlook non è solo un bug, ma un segnale d'allarme sulla nostra dipendenza dai Big Tech. Quando la PA italiana si affida a pochi colossi globali, la sovranità digitale diventa un'illusione e l'operatività dello Stato un rischio.

"Nvidia’s computer chips are at the heart of the artificial intelligence boom, driving the company’s value above $4 trillion."
The Trump administration has completely handed the keys to this incredibly powerful technology - that feeds off all of us & the planet - to just a few men, & they can do what they want. This, with all their vagaries, mishaps, corruption & gluttony.
Two tough (but important) reminders for the US this week:
1. You can't rely on Big Tech.
2. You need a national high speed train system.

Platforms as foundational infrastructures of society
* "They increasingly function as infrastructures of everyday life that organise communication, commerce, cultural production, logistics, education, and artificial intelligence itself. Platforms shape communication, consumption, labour, entertainment, and visibility through interfaces, recommendation systems, monetisation mechanisms, and moderation policies."
"Once actors become deeply integrated into platform infrastructures, switching away becomes increasingly difficult. Platforms therefore shape not only digital culture, but also the broader organisation of contemporary societies."
"Platformisation—extends platform logics far beyond social media. It reorganises sectors such as transportation, retail, entertainment, education, finance, public services, and artificial intelligence around platform infrastructures and ecosystem dependencies. They increasingly organise the conditions under which social, cultural, economic, and political life takes place. " >>

Wait, wait, wait... Why are Australian intelligence agencies reliant on Microslop?
It makes absolutely no sense for covert agents to be using the services of a company that literally hardcodes the locations and activities of your every device.
In general, public institutions and governments should stay away from a company that doesn't respect people's privacy and rights.

‘É preciso regular o modelo de negócio e o monopólio das Big Techs’, afirma pesquisador
It's a good time to remember the underlying belief systems of all these tech bros.
TESCREAL is the real threat, not a pretty woman.
Tech companies don't want you to own anything, in order to keep you buying, upgrading, and subscribing to things you don't really need. Even though we have all the technology and resources to do anything we want, they try to keep us dumb

Great read, though as with any addiction, the main culprit is the addict. Companies and users willingly traded their independence for "convenience," handing a monopoly to a handful of tech giants.
I recently wrote an essay on the psychological side of this trap—how closed ecosystems and tech marketing breed digital Stockholm syndrome. Feel free to check it out (in Polish, just click "Translate" at the top):

A Microsoft outage renews European calls to detox from US tech.
Lawmakers across Europe call for action to reduce reliance on a handful of foreign tech companies.

Quando as #bigtech demoram horas a resolver problemas, parece que o mundo para. Não é assim que a internet deveria funcionar. No meu caso, fiz a minha rotina normalmente como se nada fosse, já não sou dependente das #bigtech. No meu ponto de vista, estas estas empresas centralizam demasiado o que deveria ser descentalizado.
A única coisa que tenho da #Microsoft é a conta da universidade (e pouco uso dou), mas eu tenho o hábito de reencaminhar tudo para outros e-mails (controlados por mim) de forma a evitar abrir o Outlook, e ter mais uma coisa instalada a consumir recursos.
Neste caso tinha e-mails da universidade que consegui ler através de meios alternativos que de outras formas não conseguiria. Estes meios são simplesmente outras caixas de correio que recebem o que foi reencaminhado.
Sabendo que, os e-mails são federados, ninguém deveria ser obrigado a utilizar um único provedor, ou neste caso escolher uma #bigtech como provedor de e-mail. Para quem tem domínios, consegue usar múltiplos provedores como alternativa caso o de maior prioridade ( o principal) falhe.
Para escrever documentos uso o #LibreOffice ou então tenho uma instância própria com #Nextcloud.

"Dat neemt niet weg dat de algehele trend nog steeds is naar groeiende afhankelijkheid en toenemend gebruik van de Microsoft-cloud. In overheidsaanbestedingen wordt niet expliciet naar digitale autonome oplossingen gevraagd. Het kabinet geeft ook toe er geen geld voor te hebben."

The outage has affected businesses and organisations across the world that use Microsoft products.
OpenAI said it was investigating a problem with Microsoft connectors in which new connections may be broken and tools were not working as expected. Anthropic said it had identified an issue with an upstream provider affecting its Microsoft 365 connector.
Friedrich #Merz und die #bundesregierung müssten ein Sofortprogramm auflegen, um die IT-Infrastruktur frei von #Bigtech souverän und resilient aufzustellen.

Volledig niet gerelateerd, uit mijn bijdrage bij de afgelopen commissievergadering van 4 november. En dan die laatste zin. 😇 😇 😇
De NDS moet oplossingen gaan bieden op het gebied van de soevereiniteit van de eigen digitale voorzieningen. Heel goed, hoe eerder hoe beter, alleen, heeft het Rijk wel NDS maatregelen bedacht, maar geen extra budget beschikbaar gesteld om ze uit te voeren. Terwijl de chaos in de VS steeds groter wordt, we nog maar moeten afwachten of de blauwe golf daadwerkelijk iets zal gaan verbeteren, en heel veel van onze software Amerikaans is. We kunnen het ons niet veroorloven om nog langer te wachten. Dat konden we eigenlijk 2 jaar geleden al niet, en nu helemaal niet. Ga met de Unie en het Waterschapshuis aan de slag om zo snel mogelijk los te komen van Amerikaanse tech. En fijn om te lezen dat bij de crisisbestrijdingsstrategieën ook rekening wordt gehouden met opzettelijke verstoringen van onze digitale infrastructuur. Dan zou ik nog willen meegeven dat het misschien helemaal geen verkeerd idee is om een Cloud Out stresstest te houden om eens te kijken wat ons dan overkomt.
The Microsoft outage is a reminder of how much of our digital lives depends on a handful of corporations.
But alternatives exist, from open-source email to community-controlled collaboration tools.

Termintipp für Montag, 16.11.: Wer Lust auf gepflegte Realsatire hat, sollte bei der Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung vorbeischauen.
„Gemeinsam gegen die Macht großer Digitalkonzerne“ heißt es dort.
Ja, genau. Die Stiftung, die sich an Zoom klammert, als wäre der Abschied davon ein Angriff auf die Demokratie.
Auf dem Programm: eine Werkstatt für digitale Unabhängigkeit und Improtheater.
Wobei die eigentliche Impro-Show wohl darin besteht, gegen die Macht der Digitalkonzerne anzutreten, während man selbst bei der Vorstellung, sich von einem ihrer Produkte zu lösen, Schnappatmung bekommt.
Digitale Souveränität ist eben eine feine Sache. Besonders, wenn man sie anderen empfiehlt. 🙃

Following many requests, I'm stoked to finally offer a self-paced version of the popular Cloudbreak live training.
15 lessons spanning 38 topics guide you all the way to a beautiful, truly private, post-big-tech & data-sovereign cloud deployment, all of your own. Along the way, you learn best-practices applicable to any self-hosted server build.
And just like the live training, no prior experience is needed.
That moment you check out an until now unknown #FLOSS project from someone you know & respect. Checking their code & commits. Seeing their name & Claude on the commits. Feeling sad & tired.
Apparently they don't see the problems I see.
Using #bigtech #genAI built upon stolen data, occupying land with data centres, exacerbating our poly crisis predicament with it's abuse of energy & water. Impacting labour, mental capabilities, craftsmanship & future of so many people.
And for what?
99,9 Prozent Verfügbarkeit, das sind 43 Minuten Ausfall im Monat. Exchange Online hatte dieses Budget gestern um 18:00 Uhr verbraucht. Seitdem läuft die Zugabe.
74 Länder binnen einer Stunde die wie Dominosteine kippen. In Japan haben Ministerien auf Papier gearbeitet, Neuseeland hat die Visa-Bearbeitung gestoppt. Microsoft hat über Nacht fünf Erklärungen geliefert, eine bestätigte Ursache war nicht dabei. Copilot kann dazu nichts sagen, er ist selbst betroffen.
Mein Mitgefühl gilt den Admins. Sie können nichts reparieren, weil ihnen nichts davon gehört. Ihnen bleibt die Statusseite, und nicht einmal das Admin Center lädt zuverlässig. Als Trost winkt laut SLA eine Gutschrift. Aber nur auf Antrag!
Und irgendwo sitzt jemand, der neulich „alternativlos“ in eine Vorlage geschrieben hat.
Befangen bin ich natürlich: Ich verkaufe das Gegenmodell, bei der Heinlein Gruppe mit #mailbox.org, #OpenCloud und #opentalk . OpenCloud und OpenTalk sind Open Source, ihr könnt beides ganz ohne uns betreiben. Wer vorerst bei Microsoft bleiben muss, bekommt bei mailbox mit #EVAC eine zweite Kommunikationsplattform im Standby. Ja, das war die Werbung.
Auch unser Zeug fällt irgendwann aus. Aber nicht in 74 Ländern gleichzeitig.
Souveränität heißt nicht, dass nichts ausfällt. Sie heißt, dass ihr dann Optionen habt.
One outage. One Plan B. One less excuse.

The nepotism isn't the problem here. It's the fact that bartenders, skiers, and bakers are selling you on AI and robotics when they themselves know absolutely nothing about these things.

Suddenly I understand the lack of action by organisations in becoming more digitally independent. Or to use something else than #MS365.
If your organisation has achieved #DigitalAutonomy or #DigitalSovereignty from #BigTech you would be able to continue your work through the current ongoing major outage at Microsoft.
You'd completely miss out on the #Microsoft induced fun leisure time. 🤪
