    You gotta love your :)

    If that's true ofc, all the public institutions should prepare for right now actually. I've been in a process (with my law office) of leaving Microsoft for Nextcloud since November and though it was totally worth it, it proved to be difficult because MS won't let you go that easily.

    @koop has been helping a big deal. Thanks guys!

    I highly recommend tech sovereignty. It's very rewarding.

  3. 🇪🇺 EU weighs restricting use of U.S. cloud platforms to process sensitive government data, sources tell CNBC

    「 Proposals would not prohibit overseas companies’ cloud platforms from government contracts entirely, but limit their use in processing sensitive data at public sector organizations, depending on the level of sensitivity, they added. The officials said that talks are ongoing and yet to be finalized 」

    @CiaraNi - ’Denmark Switches.’ A national campaign to collectively move off Big Tech. March 20th is Big Switch Day. I’ve named my goal now. I’m already almost deMicrosofted, except for my photo archive. I moved to Libre & Tuta mail and have been purging photos as I await the release of Tuta drive. Now I’m committing myself to just get the photos off OneDrive and on to my computer, that I own, in my house, by March 20th. Then I’ll delete Microsoft. Then I’ll boast about it on the Fediverse.

  29. We Don’t Just Fork Code. We Shift Ecosystems! 🫡

    I’m moving all my projects from GitHub to Codeberg — and the community is moving with me.

    My main project (3000+ followers, running Autodesk Fusion on Linux) is making the jump too.

    10+ new Codeberg signups just this week.
    The shift is happening. 🚀

    Regarding the implementation of the scheme, @fsftn calls for an alternative approach that fosters #TechSovereignty. We have highlighted such sovereign initiatives from #Kerala and #Karnataka

  31. RE: mas.to/@Techaltar/115694998710

    The US’s geopolitical maneuvers—real or perceived—remind us that sovereignty isn’t a gift; it’s a practice.
    If tech stacks can be weaponized or alliances destabilized, the question isn’t whether we’ll take sovereignty seriously, but who gets to define it.

    @Techaltar post hits the nerve: states guard borders and currencies, yet outsource the foundations of modern life—software, hardware, and data—to a handful of corporate monopolies. That’s not just technical risk; it’s political dependence.

    Sovereignty today isn’t about flags or treaties. It’s control over protocols, algorithms, and the tools that shape how societies think and act. FLOSS and open hardware aren’t ideological luxuries—they’re the only credible path to digital self-determination.

    Relying on closed, proprietary stacks means sovereignty on lease. When platforms can silence nations, throttle access, or hide backdoors, sovereignty becomes a slogan, not a system.

    Institutions rarely lead change; they react when crises force the issue. Real transformation starts bottom-up—from a culture that values curiosity over convenience, and commons over consumption.

    So what does it mean to take sovereignty seriously?

    1. Treat open technology as public infrastructure.
    Fund FLOSS and open hardware like we fund roads and clinics—stable, public investment. Tools like open-source procurement mandates, R&D tax credits, and redirecting portions of defense or digital transition budgets can anchor this shift.
    But funding is not ownership: transparency laws and community-led governance must ensure open projects don’t become state surveillance tools.

    2. Make tech literacy a civic right.
    Sovereignty requires a public that understands the tools it depends on—not just code, but critical thinking about systems, incentives, and control. Tech education should be public, accessible, and lifelong.

    3. Build alternatives, not only critiques.
    The Fediverse, RISC-V, Framework, and Fairphone aren’t fringe—they prove ethical, functional alternatives exist. The goal isn’t purity; it’s adoption. Use and fund the systems you want to survive.

    4. Recognize that openness ≠ isolation.
    Open-source is interdependence under shared, auditable terms. Supporting open-source hubs in the Global South and funding translation, localization, and inclusive participation ensures sovereignty isn’t just for wealthy nations.

    Regulation like the GDPR is a start, but true sovereignty means owning the stack, not patching around its edges.

    The US’s geopolitical games may hasten this reckoning, but waiting guarantees dependency. Treat open-source as critical infrastructure now—not for ideology’s sake, but survival’s.

    Because digital sovereignty isn’t a speech or a policy.
    It’s something we build, line by line, together.

  32. The Cloud and AI Development Act 'should embed a sovereignty provision that curtails the current “sovereignty-washing” practiced by US hyperscalers in partnership with European firms. Here, sovereignty means fostering genuine competence and capacity inside the Union, rather than relying on complex legal tricks that depend on foreign-controlled technology.'

  33. In Brussels next Saturday? Come to the HackerSpace @HSBXL to hear my presentation on "Federated immersive learning, why and how" about my on-going @nlnet project!

    We'll discuss VR in the context of pedagogy and thus why software freedom is at the heart of an education that can not be vertical. I'll unfold the goal of the project and how we might reach it together.

  39. "The European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud" aims to foster the development and deployment of next generation edge and cloud technologies." The Alliance brings together businesses, Member States representatives and experts. "The work of the Alliance is facilitated by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology #DGConnect."

    A new thematic roadmap was released on 8 July 2025. This 68-page document proposes and details an action plan to position open source software as a pillar of the Union's strategy for strengthening its technological autonomy vis-à-vis non-European players.

    The report starts by noting Europe's dependence in the cloud, edge and IoT sectors, and proposes 70 actions to try to remedy the situation. The most significant measures include:
    • the introduction of a public procurement policy that systematically favours European open source solutions,
    • the creation of a dedicated funding vehicle for critical projects,
    • the application of open interoperability standards to counter vendor lock-in.

  40. Alexandre Roure of the Computer & Communications Industry Association, whose members include many Big Tech groups, says the debate about blunt market access restrictions for non-EU tech companies “only distracts policymakers from the real task: finally delivering a functioning digital single market with clear, simple and practical rules”.

    In private conversations, several Big Tech lobbyists and executives also express confidence in their ability to continue dominating the European market given the paucity of homegrown alternatives and the lack of urgency among many consumers.

  42. The analysis in "Anatomía del esfuerzo español en defensa" underlines our core mission. It's not enough to invest; we must invest smartly. This is particularly true for dual-use technologies like semiconductors, which are vital for both industrial resilience and national security.

    We advocate for targeted investments in sovereign capabilities.

  43. Spain is making a significant move to bolster its defence capabilities and align with European partners. The government has announced a substantial increase in defence investment, aiming to reach 2% of GDP in 2025. How can we ensure this investment translates into real, tangible security and industrial strength for Spain and the EU?
