Un billet pationnant de @whiteflag : https://belibre.be/souveraine/article-1/
La Belgique ne peut pas se permettre que Microsoft tombe en panne : Un signal d’alarme sur la souveraineté numérique
Nous utilisons Microsoft au gouvernement belge ? Et alors, ce n’est pas un problème, non ? Ça fonctionne bien et tout le monde l’utilise. N’est-ce pas ? C’est le choix sûr, après tout. “Personne n’a jamais été licencié pour avoir choisi IBM Microsoft.” “Hey Amérique, je pensais qu’on était amis ?” Cette question n’est plus rhétorique. Alors que les menaces tarifaires s’intensifient, que les guerres redessinent les alliances géopolitiques et que l’infrastructure numérique devient la colonne vertébrale de chaque service critique, l’Europe fait face à une vérité inconfortable : nous avons externalisé le contrôle de notre avenir numérique à une poignée d’entreprises américaines.
Seems that our favorite tech' bros are now very open about their actual political agenda...
And there are still leaders in the EU who believe it's OK to do business with them in sensitive domains.
(And lots of EU tech' bros who are avoiding to publicly comment such political statements...)

( Tooti'n from the void )Dutch government: Release report on dangers of using American hosting
Also Dutch Government: Signs contracts with American hosting companies
Still the Dutch Government: removes their own report on American hosting services, because it now makes them look bad.
Dutch gov't pulls report on dangers of American cloud service after criticism
The Ministry of Justice and Security removed a report on the risks of Amazon’s “European Sovereign Cloud” service shortly after publishing it. This followed critics saying that the report underestimates the service’s dangers and illustrates the government’s tunnel vision regarding American big tech, the Volkskrant reports.
Emeritus Prof Christopher MaySo, Matthew Swindells (a senior NHS official - joint chair of four NW London NHS Trust) urged his colleagues to put more patient data into Palantir's patient record system, at the same time that he was a paid consultant for Palantir.
Once again, the privatisation of NHS functions is riddled with conflicts of interest; the move to private provision is hardly a 'reasoned' decision but rather is the result of the corrupt purchase of influence.

@woody They may recreate the Griffon 2 ;) (Which was an interesting experiment actually).

Maarten AertsenThe @EUCommission published draft guidance on the #CyberResilienceAct, including a detailed chapter on #FOSS. EC staff has worked on these and previous drafts for quite a while, and have been open for concerns/clarification from #opensource community members. If this topic interests you, be sure to have a look. I would be interested to hear your thoughts, I’ll likely write up some feedback.

Not sure I like this trend where journalists write articles entirely without interviewing scientists (and thus get some facts wrong, Laura Revell is an atmospheric chemist, not an astronomer...) but I'm glad that people are talking about satellite pollution!
