Trump presenteert AI-adviesraad met alleen tech-ceo’s, ‘lijkt meer op een lobbyclub’

De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump heeft een speciale raad opgericht die het Witte Huis moet adviseren op het gebied van kunstmatige intelligentie. De leden zijn bekende namen als Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Larry Ellison (Oracle) en Jensen Huang (Nvidia). Ook medeoprichter van Google, Sergey Brin, en Lisa Su (AMD) maken deel uit van de President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). ‘In deze samenstelling lijkt het meer op een lobbyclub,’ zegt Joe van Burik.

@neil Especially the secondhand computers are a great source to switch them to Linux i.e. open source. #Debigtech I did the same with a 10 year old Lenovo Yoga and it brought computing back into my live - exciting like in the '80s with the Sinclair ZX81 (only this time it so much easier)

Première lecture de l'année pour donner le ton.
Pourquoi l'argument "je n'ai rien à cacher" doit être déconstruit.

Simplement pour conserver sa liberté de penser, de vivre et d'exprimer.

Belle et heureuse année 2026

“I have nothing to hide”: Why Privacy Matters

Does this statement make your hair stand on end? Unfortunately, the “nothing to hide” argument has persisted for far too long and often prevents any constructive discussion about privacy protection on the Internet. It’s high time to debunk it.

@Khrys crazy story... I degoogled 4 months ago and taking back my google photos was a nightmare too. But now I am free. I hope he will do the same.

To my fellow #debigtech people I'm going back and forth between @obsidian, Logseq and @notesnook for my notes app. I have over 450 sermons, meeting notes and random pieces of information all scattered around that I want to bring into one. Each of the mentioned apps have their benefits and draw backs. So what say you Mastodon????

As I continue this journey into retaking my internet data, security and privacy I've done the following
- PC OS : Arch - edit now testing Debian
- Mobile OS: GrapheneOS
- Socials: Mastodon and BlueSky
- Photos: Ente
- Email: Tuta
- Notes: Obsidian
- Storage: Mega
- Office Suite: LibreOffice
- Search: Duck Duck Go
- Browser: Tor / Zen

Can of worms I want to open..... VPNS??? Worth it, pointless, waste of money??!

I'm open to guidance with this journey

Had a fun weekend moving our work computers to Linux (Fedora) and installing FOSS alternatives to the Microsoft and Adobe products we were using. Now time to migrate our email off Google.
