Even onszelf wat moed inpraten:

@bert_hubert inderdaad, en vooral niet dieper in de stack duiken over grondstoffen enzo.

Klassieke coping fase van verliesverwerking.

@SolarDavy kan je wat meer typen wat je bedoelt?

@bert_hubert ik bedoel dat ja in NL maken we de fabrieken die chips maken etc.

Maar waar komen die grondstoffen vandaan?

Hi @bert_hubert it is fun that "we" might have some leverage here, but this isn't really #TechnologicalSovereignty.

The key problem with politicians talking about sovereignty is that they think we can be sovereign if we'd have European Googles and the likes.

But until we build truely #DigitalCommons, as you know well, with open standards interoperability, decentralised and distributed architectures and community-driven open source, we can overcome bigtech and maybe even preserve our democratic foundations.

Keynote opening Digital Commons EDIC: Moving beyond the Digital Uncommons - Bert Hubert's writings

Last Thursday, 11th of December, saw the launch of the new Digital Commons European Digital Infrastructure Consortium. In attendance were delegations from the launching member states (and the observers). Also present were the many forefathers (and mothers) of this initiative. Of particular note, the launch also included demonstrations of LaSuite software from France, as well as the OpenDesk software from Germany. The Dutch government showcased their amalgamated suite MijnBureau, which joins parts of the German and French initiatives.

@bert_hubert en begin maar met overstap naar Linux. Simpel en scheelt heel veel geld voor dure applicaties. Ik gebruik al jaren Linux Mint op mijn oude dag.
@PeterGroen ik doe linux sinds 1992...
@bert_hubert ik nog niet zΓ³ lang, wel eerder wat mee gespeeld maar nu 5 jaar alleen nog Linux. Supersoftware.
@bert_hubert Zit daar een killswitch in?
@bert_hubert β€œyou can do computing without the US cloud” - yes we can!
