ANY European #marketing or communications agency that invests significant effort into their clients’ (or worse, their own) presence on #GoogleMaps, without even informing them about #OpenStreetMap, cannot be taken seriously any longer. #BuyEuropean, be present on #European maps. 🇪🇺💪

Nicht nur aus Souveränitätsgründen sollte man inzwischen nur noch auf Open Source und selbst/bei lokalen Firmen gehostete Lösungen setzen:

Die (US-amerikanische) Software-as-a-Service-Industrie hat inzwischen einen extrem großen Berg an Schulden angehäuft unter dem Vorwand unendlichen Wachstums ohne echte Profite. (Und KI/LLM-Firmen sind da nur die Spitze des Eisbergs!)

Soundtrack: The Dillinger Escape Plan — Black Bubblegum To understand the AI bubble, you need to understand the context in which it sits, and that larger context is the end of the hyper-growth era in software that I call the Rot-Com Bubble.  Generative AI, at first, appeared to be the panacea

Europa investiert Milliarden in Palantir – trotz Warnungen vor Überwachung und US-Einfluss

Im Vorjahr zogen europäische Investitionen in das Tech-Unternehmen stark an, wie neue Daten zeigen. Gleichzeitig wächst die Kritik an der Macht seiner Software und an der Nähe zur US-Regierung

DER STANDARD

Out of habit, I still read and comment way too much on #facebook. All my 'friends' and information are there.

I'm going to try to upload something here every day, photos of Uli, with #galgo tags because Galgos are my thing. Trying to create a bit of #mastodon life for myself.

Nexi blocks payments to Free Software Fondation Europe

Nexi blocks payments to Free Software Fondation Europe - фeddit.bg

Life would’ve been so much simpler if the major Italian payment provider was not an asshole. But it has always been, even if now US competitors have come down to the same level. >Over the past few months, our former payment provider Nexi S.p.A. (“Nexi”) requested access to private data, which we understood to be specifically the usernames and passwords of our supporters. We have refused this request. All our attempts to clarify Nexi’s request, or to understand how their need for such information was necessary and legal, were met with what we consider to be vague and unsatisfactory explanations relating to a general need for risk analysis.
