A brief note: the Social Web Foundation, Qlub and FediHost are presenting a day-long Fediverse conference in Montreal, Canada on February 24, 2026. FediMTL features speakers from across the Fediverse, including Cory Doctorow, Christine Lemmer-Webber, Julian Lam, and yours truly, Evan Prodromou. The theme of digital autonomy for Canada has never been more important. Tickets are on sale now for both in person and streaming attendance. I look forward to seeing you there!Let's be clear:
#NS could very well have not chosen for an US company. They could have put something regarding political #independence and digital #sovereignty in their #aanbesteding. They also could have looked more at quality, where this cheap US firm scored lower than competitors.
NS claiming they had "no choice" is bullshit to hide behind now that people are critical.
Also doubt they have no clue about ABRO extending to them.
NS gaat deel automatisering uitbesteden aan dochter van Amerikaans bedrijf
Contract voor zes tot twaalf jaar.
Niks geleerd? Of niet te omzeilen wegens aanbestedingsregels?
The talk has sparked some discussions and interesting conversations. The discussions were also intensified in a panel talk on digital sovereignty, security communication, and the future of cloud computing.
Many thanks to everyone who made this event possible, from organizers and managers to the audience. Hope to see you all again! 5/n
In 1829, when Englishman Thomas Peel tried to establish an agricultural colony on Australia, something unexpected happened: his workers simply abandoned him en masse; a 19th century style Great Resignation. Despite Peel's large amount of capital brought over from England, these workers didn't need to subordinate themselves to Peel's capital, as they could just... move over to the next plot of land and continue to go into business for themselves. Peel's capital had no command, as labourers still had access to The Commons. The enclosing of The Commons was the necessary to shift the power from landowners to owners of capital, and for capitalism to bloom.
Similarly, today, frontier AI labs command no control, unless they enclose The Commons:
- I have no reason to go to Claude or ChatGPT if I can readily find the information I need in an online encyclopaedia
- I don't need to reach for Claude Code if collaborative QA platforms thrive (yes, I'm aware StackOverflow had it's share of issues even before AI)
Resisting AI today is the modern battle against enclosing our Digital Commons. I don't think that protections from scrapers are going to work, as they're most likely going to damage to discovery of content and knowledge.

"Private Unternehmen sind längst mächtiger als Staaten, wenn es um digitale Infrastruktur geht. Musk hätte Russlands illegale Starlink-Nutzung schon 2022 unterbinden können – tat es aber erst jetzt. Vermutlich eine Mischung aus politischem Druck, wirtschaftlichen Überlegungen und persönlicher Laune. Das ist das eigentliche Problem: Ein Milliardär entscheidet nach eigenem Ermessen über kriegsentscheidende Technologie."

signal wäre auch noch eine Möglichkeit. Bei uns in der Region ist WhatsApp selbst den Hausmeistern und Sozialarbeitern für dienstliche Kommunikation und auf dienstlichen Endgeräten verboten. Signal ist hingegen i.O.
Es ist ja nicht so als gäbe es keine Alternativen:

TikTok wordt onderzocht door de EU omdat het ontwerp mogelijk verslavend is en grote hoeveelheden gebruikersdata verzamelt.

Het kan wél! Hopelijk zullen meer gemeentes volgen, iets met een schaap en een dijk enzo. Hopelijk kijkt de #vng mee en deelt de inspiratie #digitalAutonomy
I was so sad to see only the X and facebook logos on the page of the French lawmaker whose complaint started the French criminal investigation into X. On the heels of #FOSDEM where the desire for #digitalautonomy was articluated repeatedly, when I see stuff like this, I really wonder if Europe has the will to follow the talk with action
