bert hubert šŗš¦šŖšŗšŗš¦The IT world has convinced us no new software can be deployed outside of US clouds. We're so sure about this that European governments (including the UK) are handing over vital government functions & data to US controlled servers. In this piece I argue that until recently we somehow could run stuff on locally owned hardware, and that we should urgently relearn that skill, while it is still possible - or end up as digital colony of the US: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/our-self-inflicted-cloud-crisis/
Europe's Self Inflicted Cloud Crisis - Bert Hubert's writings
The short version For decades, governments and organizations could run services based on servers we actually owned. These days, weāve allowed the IT world to convince us no computing is possible outside of US-style clouds, for which we have no European equivalents. And because of this conviction, we are now moving our most precious data and most critical services to US controlled servers. Yet most of European government software still runs on locally owned systems.

krakjoeHey #PHP,
I don't normally market code, I write and leave it on github for you to find.
I can be wrong, I'm happy to be wrong.
But I believe, with every ounce of my being, that this is going to be important for our survival in the long term.
samir, the brown sheepWhen an LLM outputs, āI panickedā, it does not mean it panicked. It means that based on the preceding sentences, āI panickedā was a likely thing to come next.
It means itās read a lot of fiction, in which drama is necessary.
It didnāt āpanicā. It didnāt *anything*. It wrote a likely sequence of words based on a human request, which it then converted into code that matched those words somewhat. And a human, for some reason, allowed that code to be evaluated without oversight.

OpenTech(AUC)"Microsoft can't protect French data from US government access"
"The Senate hearing exposed tensions between sovereignty rhetoric and practical implementation. While French officials promote digital independence, procurement decisions consistently favor non-European solutions for critical infrastructure projects."

Where have we seen this before? Oh yes on our own university: https://opentech-auc.org/posts/2025-04-15-official-launch-of-nextcloud/
myrmepropagandistIt's *technically* more universal, but I know more people who know how to follow people on the fedi than who know what an RSS feed even is or how to follow one.
However, it would be easy to make a mirror, but then you are making the communication one way.
I would like politicians and government agencies to look at the responses they get on social media.
But not do that through a corporation.
