#digitalcoup — Public Fediverse posts

Given the #DigitalCoup and the urgency to transition to #DigitalAutonomy, we’re building up the https://DemocraticTech.Fund. It is a networked approach, aiming to increase our collective capacity, to discover the tech that is already available to us, to deploy it in ways that we can own it, to share learnings of the transition, to move there together, so we can overcome network effects.

It is our intention to identify together the gaps of what is needed to make the transition, to fund that collectively. This can be tech, media to raise awareness for the positive alternatives already out there, and federating our communities. We’re starting as civil society, and we intent to invite institutions – public and private – to chip in and multiply the contributions. Together we can make the impact that is needed.

In the context of the #DigitalCoup Denmark is working towards #DigitalSovereignty.

See report: therecord.media/denmark-digital-agency-microsoft-digital-independence

Interestingly, they have a Minister for Digitalisation. They start with LibreOffice, "with a full transition to open-source software by the end of the year."

Motivations are (licensing) costs and political tensions, to protect data and reduce reliance on foreign tech.

Of course MS can waive the upcoming licensing costs, and they might return to US tech dependency. But many governments are now making similar, or more audacious transitions.

I wonder why the Danes didn't yet join the EDIC for Digital Commons? There's important shared investments being made, e.g. in collaborative workspaces...

#Digital vs. #Democracy
Not tech! People building first!

#Tech people are blind basically building the future trouble.

(We have enough already STOP)

Just use existing great basic things towards and focus on #friendships / increment #trust increase #people togetherness)

Not just solo work to make the next greatest weapon / crap / disposable code / or whatever.

People, not so much tech!

Inside Elon Musk’s ‘Digital Coup’

Musk’s loyalists at #DOGE have infiltrated dozens of federal agencies, pushed out tens of thousands of workers, and siphoned millions of people’s most sensitive data. The next step: Unleash the #AI.

Inspirierender Beitrag von @RainerMuehlhoff zum US-Umsturz, den er digitalen Staatsstreich nennt https://rainermuehlhoff.de/DLF-Radiofeuilleton-Staatsstreich-Trump-Musk/

#ZeynepTufekci nennt es in der #newyorktimes den Autoritären den #root Zugang geben.

Es wäre bezaubernd, wenn wir in Europa nicht die gleichen Fehler machten!
--
There is an intriguing piece by Mühlhoff on the #digitalcoup in the #US under #Trump & #Musk

Tufekci called it giving the #authoritarians root access in the #NYT

Please do not copy-paste, Europe!

IMHO: "Read-Only Access" is just fancy words for "you are free to copy everything you see and do something with it on systems that are neither checked nor supervised"
