The so-called "Learning Management System" (LMS) that we use at the #UniversityofAmsterdam and #AmsterdamUniversityCollege is called "Canvas".
#Canvas is owned by Instructure, which in turn was bought in 2024 - for 4.8 billion USD - by #KKR, a US investment firm that has close ties with the arms industry and - as such - to the #IDF.
In July #Instructure signed a deal with #OpenAI to work towards the total integration of OpenAI's AI technologies into Canvas: https://www.forbes.com/sites/rayravaglia/2025/07/23/instructure-and-openai-harness-the-power-of-ai-to-transform-learning/

Hey there! On Wednesday, I completed the ILLC's Master of #Logic at the #UniversityOfAmsterdam :dr_tobydance: My supervisor and the rest of the committee were super nice to me, as were all the friends who have helped me throughout these two years. Amazing programme full of amazing people btw. :blobcat_heart:
I am starting my #PhD next month. I'll be working on the foundations of programming languages under @[email protected] at #SDU's #ACPSection in #Odense, #Denmark. I am super psyched! -

We at OpenTech(AUC) wholeheartedly support this petition by @Nhelberger and @claesdevreese (both professors at the #UniversityofAmsterdam ) that calls on the university's board of directors to work together with @SURF to reduce our dependence on Big Tech.

Universities have a responsibility to show the way.
Better late than never!

Today employees of the #UniversityofAmsterdam #UvA are on #strike to protest against the budget cuts for education that are pushed by our far right government.
Universities are a place of wonder, curiosity and resistance.
This world is in desperate need of all of these things.
Update: there were 5000 of us today. And a student and I even made it to the main newspaper pic. 💅

Given the ongoing #coup in the #UnitedStates and the ensuing increased security and privacy issues, I am refusing to actively contribute to the usage of the #Microsoft #email service of the #UniversityOfAmsterdam.
I am archiving my incoming email to my own server, which is based in the #Netherlands and I only respond from my own email address.
https://mishathings.org/posts/why-we-should-no-longer-use-microsoft-email/
Yes, it's largely symbolic, but at this point, when it comes to forms of resistance, we can't be picky.

Remember the names Arnoud Boot, Peter Hoffmann, Luc Laeven, Lev Ratnovski, as signatories to the death of all privacy and the opening of universal surveillance in all commercial and financial dealings.
Under the remarkably anodyne title "What is Really New in Fintech" and published by the International Monetary Fund blog, these four men proposed that credit ratings be improved by "tapping various nonfinancial data: the type of browser and hardware used to access the internet, the history of online searches and purchases".
https://blogs.imf.org/2020/12/17/what-is-really-new-in-fintech/
Everything you do online, transferred to, assessed, rated, and stored permanently, one would suspect, by that most highly egalitarian and trusted of all institutions, the global financial system.
Arnoud Boot is professor of Corporate Fiance and Financial Markets at the #UniversityOfAmsterdam, in the country whose census records were used during WWII to prosecute the Holocaust on the Netherland's Jewish population. Of 107,000 deported Jews, only 5,200 survived.
Peter Hoffman is an economist working at the Financial Research Division of the #EuropeanCentralBank (#ECB), researching microstructure of financial markets, but apparently neither ethics nor privacy and surveillance.
Luc Laeven is Director-General of the Directorate General Research of the #ECB, and previously worked with the #IMF, #WorldBank, and #ABNAmroBank.
Lev Ratnovski is Sr. Econoist at the #IMF's research department.
These men would sell your entire informational history to gain a few fractions of a percent of interest income.
The banality of evil indeed.

From the Amsterdam Student Encampment:
'❗️WE HAVE TAKEN OVER SCIENCE PARK! JOIN US AT WALID DAQQA CAMPUS❗️
Join us at Science Park 904 right now and bring tents, sleeping bags, flags and banners!
Today marks the establishment of the fourth encampment at the University of Amsterdam. We have reclaimed the university in the name of freedom fighter and political prisoner Walid Daqqa, and all Palestinian imprisoned comrades in Israeli prisons, as well as in the Netherlands, and beyond.
Daqqa was martyred on the 7th of April, after 38 years of imprisoned, but his resilient spirit will never die! When our knowledge institutions silence the freedom movement and those fighting for liberation, we reclaim the power by raising our voices in unison.We are loud in reclaiming our universities and showing solidarity with all Palestinian political prisoners!
JOIN US AT SCIENCE PARK NOW'

From Palestine Action Amsterdam:
"Palestine Action Amsterdam closes Nakba day by spraying Roeterseiland with red paint as a sign of solidarity with all student encampments.
Tonight, at the end of the 76th memorial day of the Nakba, Palestine Action Amsterdam is showing solidarity with the struggle for a free Palestine by daubing the ABC building on Roeterseiland with red paint and the words ‘Shame on UvA’.
This protest highlights the ongoing struggle of Palestinians against oppression, occupation and the current genocide Israel is committing against the Palestinian people. We also stand in solidarity with students worldwide who speak out against injustice and oppression. Even if that involves damaging property. The time for asking nicely has passed."

Today #students blocked the entrance to Amsterdam University College (#AUC) to protest against AUC's official (supposedly neutral) position in the face of the murderous violations of human rights and international law by the state of #Israel.
#Police came to break up the blockade.

One million euro stake. Let's see how long it takes before we get an angry email from IT.
WHO PRESSED THE BUTTON!?
(But seriously what is this nonsense?)
"Oracle has announced they will start charging for the use of Java. They will use a very acute model: whenever a single employee of a company or institute downloads Java, Oracle will immediately charge the entire company or institute for all employees."
