3rd plenair session on #NCDT2025

PDF is not evil. Ignorance is.
By: Lacobien Riezebosch.

A view that while interesting, seems to ignore security problems inherent with PDF’s and its nature as an Adobe originating Standard. (Which while the PDF 2.0 is an ISO standard can’t truly shake)

Also, we should use more FOSS for PDF’s since getting those compliant is easier than trying to get BigTech to “consider” changing their ways.

Just saw the Keynote of @erikKroes
On #NCDT2025 , he has some interesting ideas on how to anchor accessibility in your organisation.

I don’t know if I fully agree with them, but we first need to have such a thing before we can start improving it to become better (imho).

It has started. The 10th edition of the “National Congress Digitale”.

Let’s share knowledge on how to make (digital) content accessible for all users.

This morning I read on @Tweakers that the Dutch government was going to continue using American Big tech for their cloud services.

But than I heard that @geertwilders decided that he could not continue with this administration and decided to retract his and his parties (the PVV) from its participation in said administration.

All I can hope at this stage is that the new administration will not take such an un European and un Dutch approach by continuing a “monopoly” from a foreign power that has shown to be untrustworthy when it comes to data and sovereignty.

And I also want to wish all of our political parties and their members a good and safe election cycle (since that’s what I expect will happen now).

To anyone going to T-Dose as a speaker…. Someone (I Will not name and Shame) dicovered that the mails regarding the schedule and most importantly the Speaker only event details were not send. Check your application mail box for the details and reply to them … before it’s “too late….”

Someone I know on discord found this gem, a cautionary tale about how hard it is to do secrets right, and how hard it is to trust other parties with your secrets.
