Starting from the top, #EU implements #digitalsovereignity
--- #Qwant will replace #Google as default search engine on European Parliament computers,” officials told lawmakers in an email. The change is being made “in line with the Parliament's commitment to digital sovereignty and the protection of users' personal data.”

European Parliament ditches Google for French search firm over privacy concerns

The switch lands as EU officials prepare a broader push to wean off US tech.

As I've said, I want to make a version of my "My Tech"-site, but this time not for country of Origin, but Open vs. Closed Source.
But before I start, I need two emojis for both. Any ideas? I really think the emojis are important and they should be easily recognizable. What can I use for #OpenSource and what for #ClosedSource?

So #euroOffice was created to avoid US tech like #microslop because, well, there is no #privacy with US companies and countries need #digitalSovereignity. But it's based on #onlyOffice which, I thought, was distrusted for it's Russian links? I guess it's open source so someone will have assessed the code they forked for security... Right...?

Best news of #today, and probably of the recent period. Our government is blocking the sale of the hoster of #DigiD after all!

All our fighting to keep the data of milions of #Dutch citizen outside of foreign hands has paid of. Time to party 🥳🎉🎉🎉 .

American cloud providers are proving why we need to leave american cloud providers #digitalsovereignity https://mastodon.energy/@Sustainable2050/116622751211244647

Microsoft - a preferred supplier of Dutch government - and Meta shared names of civil servants and scientists involved in European regulation on tech companies with the Trump regime. Scandalous and intimidating, as one of them Claes de Vreese, says. https://nos.nl/l/2615391

Important contribution by #HateAid to #rp26, reminding us how civil society needs robust #EUAlternatives in tech, finance and social media to maintain their independence.

#Europe needs to stay united, apply its the tools like the #DSA consistently. The adversities we face indicate to me that we are on the right path!

We need more and more people and companies working on digital solutions that don't come from Palo Alto California USA.

Definitiv nicht #neuHier, aber jetzt mit einem eigenen beruflichen Profil.

Nachdem ich mich über die toten, kalten Augen der Leute auf der letzten DevOpsDays Konferenz amüsiert hatte, als ich sagte, dass ich weder bei LinkedIn noch bei Xing bin, fiel mir dann aber auch auf, dass ich außer meiner E-Mailadresse keinen echte öffentliche Kontaktmöglichkeit habe und vor allem nicht im schönen Fedi. 🥰

Deshalb poste ich jetzt hier über meine Arbeit als Senior DevOps Architect bei der devoba GmbH. Da unterstütze ich meine Kund*innen in den Themenbereichen Infrastructure-As-Code, Automation, CICD, Clouds etc.

Gerade stoße ich in die Richtung Digital Sovereignity vor, um Kund*innen bei der Unabhängigkeit von BigTech zu unterstützen oder sie mit sauberen Lösungen bei dem Weg zurück nach onprem zu begleiten.

Zudem bin ich schon seit Langem in der Open Source-Entwicklung und -beratung verwurzelt und poste hier dann auch mal über meine kleinen privaten Projekte in dem Bereich und wie Kund*innen Open Source effizient einsetzen können.

Ich freue mich über einen interessanten und schönen Austausch.

Allgemein bin ich unter anderem interessiert an folgenden Themen:
