I took this photo myself at "Outpost One", a great Star Wars exhibition with a lot of fan artwork and love for detail.

I thought could be nice for a sticker.😎

@jzb often, when I click through cookie banners, I think "do you ever check those" in the direction of the website admins.
I could understand a (as in one) cookie to analyse my activity _on that website_. Or of one or two defined ad-services the site is working with (understanding != accepting != wanting).

But when they literally list hundreds of "partners"... Sorry, I have to decline - and my ad blocker activated.

We just published a new text in our museums blog. The title is "Workflowversprechen und Beharrungsagonie – Der lange Weg zur digitalen Selbstbestimmung im Museum". Unfortunatelly it's in german, but a translating machine might do the magic?! It is a text about digital souvereignty, digital self-defence and the duty of cultural institutions to be more aware about the surveillance industry than others.
