A SOBERANIA DIGITAL BRASILEIRA É POSSÍVEL!

Na semana passada, tivemos um encontro estratégico e animado com Eduardo Moreira para dialogar sobre um tema urgente: soberania digital no Brasil 🇧🇷

Conversamos sobre caminhos concretos para o desenvolvimento de tecnologias de interesse público e alternativas nacionais às BigTechs, fortalecendo um ecossistema digital mais justo, distribuído e sustentável.

Because a LOT of people are missing the point:

No, Elon Musk is NOT serious about putting a million data centres into orbit. It can't work: laws of physics say "nope".

But SpaceX is expected to go public this year.

Elon is talking up his company's future prospects in front of gullible investors because he needs a growth narrative beyond Starlink, which is already priced in. Something to justify the Starship proram beyond NASA's lunar ambitions.

So it's salesman's bullshit, lies for fools.

"If they gun me down
in my own street someday
may my crime be compassion."

These are the opening lines of a powerful poem by Michael Dubois entitled "If They Call Me a Domestic Terrorist" and featured by Joyce Vance today. See below for the entire poem.

sudo isn’t “nice to have.” It’s core infrastructure.

Its long-time maintainer, Todd C. Miller, is looking for a sponsor to keep sudo maintained and secure.

If your company has a security budget, this is one of the highest-leverage OSS sponsorships you can make.

"Britain’s reliance on Palantir, the controversial US data surveillance firm, is a “gaping national security vulnerability”, MPs and tech experts have said, as a Nerve investigation reveals how deeply embedded the company is in the UK’s critical national infrastructure.

The Nerve’s investigation shows the company, co-founded by one of President Trump’s most loyal allies, Peter Thiel, is enmeshed in Britain’s civil and defence structures to a far greater degree than previously realised. The Nerve has found at least 34 current and past state contracts across at least 10 government departments, local councils and police authorities.

The investigation also reveals previously undisclosed contracts between Palantir and AWE Nuclear Security Technologies, the agency that underpins Britain’s nuclear deterrence programme.

The agency, formerly known as the Atomic Weapons Establishment, designs and manufactures the nuclear warheads carried by UK submarines. The Nerve has found £15m worth of contracts for “cloud support” on the Crown Commercial Service dashboard, an agency that works with the Cabinet Office and external suppliers.

These contracts are not on the government’s official contract finder website and the Ministry of Defence refused to either confirm or deny their existence. Palantir did not acknowledge or respond to the Nerve’s inquiries.

The Nerve’s research – shown in two infographics here – shows that Palantir has current and historic deals worth £388m with the MOD across at least a dozen contracts and extensions to contracts, and more than £244m with the NHS (12 contracts/extensions). Government agencies and authorities with smaller contracts include Coventry city council, Leicestershire police, DEFRA and the Homes for Ukraine scheme."
