@miki_lou Thanks for sharing Lois. I was surprised that more people didn't show up to present. I don't think anything will happen soon with the city and the #fediverse but it's great to make a small amount of progress. Also, thanks @cabinradio for giving so much space to my arguments and thanks for your continued and active presence on #mastodon #yellowknife #canada #canpoli #digitalsovereignty

The letterbox passes the test. The hospitals are still on AWS. The framework knows this and has decided, for now, that this is acceptable.
Whether the European Parliament agrees when it reads Annex II is the next question.

The Letterbox Test

The EU's new sovereignty framework is the most serious attempt yet to define what sovereign cloud actually means. It then flinches.

I’ll present on 29 June about the 3-30-300 rule and on 30 June about #DigitalSovereignty. I'll also give the Hydrological Analysis in #QGIS workshop on 3 July. This is part of an
AWS Masterclass: https://awschool.com.au/training/qgis-masterclass/ and during the event you can get 20% off with the code AWS-FOSS-20

Dear #European #digitalsovereignty and #datasovereignty people, Just because the company is from the #EU doesn't make the company some kind of angel. For example, one of the "Co-CEO's" of #Mullvad has been quietly funding Far-Right Swedish parties. If you're only goal is to replace an oligarchy with your own, then you're just a capitalist exploiting people. I'm so sick of this. Why can't we have digital services without funding fascists? #technofascism

Washington's response: gate the closed models behind vetting. Meanwhile Qwen 3.5 and DeepSeek V4 Pro ship under open weights with permissive licences. No Commerce Department letter reaches them.
The cave is open. The thieves are not coming back for more.
