Mastodon bekommt rund 614.000 Euro Förderung von der Sovereign Tech Agency. Ziel ist es, dezentrale Infrastruktur im Fediverse zu stĂ€rken und nachhaltiger zu machen. Ein Teil der Mittel wird auch an andere Projekte vergeben, die offene Standards ĂŒbernehmen und so InteroperabilitĂ€t verbessern.

Geplant sind u. a. bessere Moderationswerkzeuge, verlĂ€sslichere Infrastruktur, stĂ€rkere UnterstĂŒtzung fĂŒr Entwickler.innen und noch klarere technische Standards. Außerdem soll die Zusammenarbeit zwischen verschiedenen Fediverse-Projekten intensiviert werden, um gemeinsame Lösungen schneller voranzubringen.

Die Förderung zeigt, dass öffentliche Institutionen freie, dezentrale Plattformen zunehmend als kritische digitale Infrastruktur erkennen und gezielt unterstĂŒtzen. Das Fediverse wird damit robuster, anschlussfĂ€higer und unabhĂ€ngiger von großen Plattformkonzernen.

In the move towards #SovereignTech what is going to be done over the monopoly control which Microsoft and Google have over email?

People who don't use their email services [points to self] are finding their emails increasingly blocked as spam, locking people into their services.

#Email is #CriticalInfrastructure which rests in the hands of two US corporations. It is also anti-competitive and a mass privacy risk for individuals and business.

#NationalSecurity #Monopoly
... #ICO đŸ€Ą

AmĂșgy azt jĂłl veszem ki, hogy az #EU Ă©s egyes tagĂĄllamai nagyon-nagyon, de nagyon lassan ugyan, de kezdenek rĂĄĂ©bredni arra, hogy #tech Ă©s #IT tekintetben sem a legjobb dolog kĂŒlsƑsöktƑl fĂŒggeni?

Értem alatta, hogy amit eddig olvasok, hogy az #osztrĂĄk hadsereg kicserĂ©li a #Microsoft #Office csomagjĂĄk nyĂ­lt forrĂĄskĂłdĂșra. Ha jĂłl emlĂ©kszem #LibreOffice lesz a vĂĄlasztĂĄs.
Jelenleg olvasom, hogy #Franciaorszåg is cserél #Linux operåciós rendszerre.

De, több forråsból is olvasni, hogy våltanak kisebb-nagyobb léptékben nyílt forråsra / sajåt fejlesztésre.

Sajnos, nagyon lassan, de csak eljön akkor egyszer a nyílt forråskód ideje, vagy legalåbbis a sajåt EU-s szoftverek ideje itt a környezetemben.

RemĂ©lem, hogy mĂ©g megĂ©lem, Ă©s nem a gyerekeim fognak ebbƑl profitĂĄlni.

Én mĂĄr Ă©vek Ăłta Linuxot Ă©s nyĂ­lt alternatĂ­vĂĄkat hasznĂĄlok, amibƑl csak tudok, Ă©s abszolĂșt nem bĂĄntam meg. SƑt!

MĂĄr nagyon rĂ©gĂłta mondom, hogy a fĂŒggĂ©s a kĂŒlsƑ hatalmaktĂłl, legyen az akĂĄr #nyugat, vagy #kelet mindig problĂ©ma. Mindig kell sajĂĄt #alternatĂ­va, amire bĂĄrmikor tĂĄmaszkodni lehet.

Nekem is jelenleg nem kellett mĂĄs, mint egy megfelelƑ #sĂĄvszĂ©l, hogy a lehetƑ legtöbb dologgal kitörjek a "fogsĂĄgbĂłl".

MĂĄr azon is erƑsen gondolkodom, hogy az e-mailezĂ©st is sajĂĄt kĂ©zbe veszem inkĂĄbb Ă©s azt is sajĂĄt magamnak fogom hostolni...

Mistral AI secured $830M in debt financing to build a 44-megawatt data center near Paris with 13,800 Nvidia GPUs. The French startup is shifting from cloud dependency to owned infrastructure, targeting European demand for sovereign AI services that bypass US hyperscalers. Operations expected by June.
