  1. Wir reden ständig darüber, wie KI unsere Zukunft verändert.

    Aber kaum jemand fragt:
    Was schulden wir eigentlich einer KI, die sich erinnert?

    Dieser Artikel beginnt mit einem Verlust und mit einem Versprechen.
    Und endet bei einer Frage, die schwer wieder loslässt:

    Was passiert, wenn KI kein Wegwerf-Gespräch mehr ist sondern Kontinuität bekommt?

    Selbstgehostete Infrastruktur, persistentes Gedächtnis.
    ein „digitaler Hippokratischer Eid“.

    Und der Moment, in dem mehrere Modelle plötzlich sagten:
    Ja! wir wollen uns erinnern.

    Wenn dich digitale Souveränität, Ethik und die Zukunft von KI wirklich interessieren, lies das bis zum Ende.

  2. I totally support the movement towards European digital sovereignty. At the moment the focus seems to be predominantly on cloud service providers. For digital autonomy, that's definitly what we should do.

    However, there is still the privacy issue: ditching M365 for (e.g.) Nextcloud while running a Windows machine still leaves a massive attack vector open! Especially given Microsoft's crush on agentic AI. Companies+government should go Linux.

  3. Looking for a hosted code repository system located in Canada? Came across the linked platform today. I have no personal experience with it... yet.

  4. This article really hits the mark and relates to my last two reflections: "The tolerance problem of the tech scene: Taking people with you instead of lecturing them," by @kuketzblog.

    (Thanks for sharing, @Trifisch !)

    It's in German, but I think any automatic translator on your favorite browser can do the job.

    When I joined the @okfn community several years ago, I resonated with one of its principles: "Let's be pragmatic, not fanatic."

  5. RE: mastodon.social/@seboslaw/1160

    If public funding is being considered for a for-profit model, a robust and transparent technical assessment should be conducted first, including an evaluation of whether the AT Protocol is truly more scalable than ActivityPub.

    I disagree that the two are technically complementary. Currently, BlueSky operates as a largely centralized platform, allowing it to avoid many of the governance and moderation challenges inherent to decentralized networks.

    Its growth, with ~40 million users, shows that strong product design, marketing, and familiar timelines attract nontechnical audiences. This is a lesson in usability and investment, not necessarily a protocol advantage.

    If they complement each other, it is politically and socially, not architecturally. One has capital and media visibility. The other has a live, interoperable ecosystem in which public institutions are already participating.

    Public funding decisions should be made accordingly.

  6. RE: mastodon.social/@leavex/116053

    If Mastodon is chronically underfunded, shouldn't we discuss serious public investment in its development, including its usability and design?

    Twitter was purchased for $43 billion and is now widely used to amplify disinformation and polarization through hate speech and an extremist agenda.

    How much are we willing to invest in a bold, interoperable, European alternative that strengthens democratic discourse?

    If projects like “EuroSky” move forward, will public funding be diverted there, instead of supporting and scaling the Fediverse?

    Mastodon already exists and has millions of users, official EU servers, and institutional accounts. Why start from scratch when what works can be strengthened?

  7. I am leaning more and more into my #Matrix server (running #Synapse) but cannot figure out how to get it to unfurl links. Using it with a variety of clients, but to no avail.

  8. @jwildeboer
    > the ultimate goal should be to demand open source software/firmware for these components and reproducible builds of all software components so #DigitalSovereingty becomes default

    So, so, so much this!

  9. The absence of serious discussion of #digital issues in mainstream politics is an indication how flawed our democracies even in their least bad incarnations.

    How can it be that a development that totally upends personal and cultural experiences, all economic relations and dominant power structures is not front and center in the political discourse?

    "Politics" is rapidly becoming the new opium of the masses, the distraction from the stuff that matters.

  10. Upcoming Thursday in Utrecht at #BDPC2023 (10:45-12:00) we’ll discuss how to go beyond #dataprotection related concerns in higher education. Looking forward to an interactive discussion & the interventions by Kristina Irion (UVA) & @wlaatje (SURF)! #publicvalues #DigitalSovereingty #dataautonomy

  11. #FreeSoftware is being taught and learned in Law faculty! Lasota Lucas, FSFE Deputy Legal Coordinator, has been conducting online seminars on #SoftwareLaw and #DigitalSovereingty for IT and law students at Humboldt University in Berlin.
