"The best time to get shut of the American internet was 15 years ago. The second best time is right fucking now.
NOW!"
#digitalSovereignty #internet

In the rush to pursue #digitalsovereignty , there must be a temptation to consider whatever isn't foreign-owned and -controlled to be sovereign. But sovereignty is only real if it supports the foundational values of the nation; Canadian digital resources that erode charter rights or democratic principles must be considered anti-sovereignty.

Oh I like that scale,
#digitalsovereignty

In order to download EU law documents from #DigitalSovereignty is going great.

Irgend jemand scheint unter "Digitale Souveränität" etwas ganz anderes zu verstehen als der Rest der Welt.

"Austria’s military has already dumped Microsoft and moved to open-source services hosted in Europe, and some German regional governments have done the same. Danish schools were told to abandon Google laptops by the Danish data protection authority in 2024. The new Dutch government says digital sovereignty will be a national priority"

Just arrived at #ChemnitzerLinuxTage . Exciting to see what is going on here!

If you're in favour of ditching digital services/platforms run by US billionaires, there is a Westminster debate this afternoon on #DigitalSovereignty. It is broadcast live online, and that debate is third of three debates starting at 14:30. Hard to say exactly when it will start, so check back a few times over the next hour or so:

The 130GB backup has completed and is now being transferred to the new server. #SocialBC #MastoAdmin #ServerAdmin #BC #DigitalSovereignty

Open Source als Schlüssel zur digitalen Souveränität
Soeben ist mein Artikel im Swiss IT Magazine erschienen. Happy reading. Bin auf Feedback gespannt.

I'm off to bed while James continues! The backup transfer should complete by around 1AM, then the real migration and standup of the new server will take place.
If all goes super smooth, things might be up and running before I wake up around 8AM... or we might not. Fingers Crossed for smooth sailing and next updates in the morning!

It's the last day to sign up as an NDP member and be able to participate in the Leadership contest.
I want to take this moment to make a pitch for Tanille Johnston.
@…
It's not just because she's on #SocialBC 😊, and understands #DigitalSovereignty. 💪
It's not just because she's a Liǧʷiłdax̌ʷ woman, boots-on-the-ground social worker, #health worker, and City Councillor.
It's not just because she wants #UBI for all Canadians.
It's because she's the future of the #NDP, and of #Canada.
She is a bright light in a dark time. She gets it, all of it. She's smart and tenacious and she works really really hard.
There are a number of great candidates for Leader of the NDP, but I think Tanille is one of the best. She's the 'dark horse' to use one of those outdated terms that pundits love.
Join up and participate in what will be one of the most important leadership races in NDP history... at probably the most consequential moment for Canada since WWII.
Click the link, check out her bio, then hit Donate to sign up for a membership tonight.

Big thanks to @… for having me on his podcast. While I never actually went to Ottawa (though I have visited!), it has been quite a journey since landing on the Fedi in 2022.
The struggle continues to try to get our Canadian politicians to understand that *they* will drive viewers no matter what platform they're on.
Also, I am just one person. There are, thankfully, a whole bunch of people trying to accomplish the same goal!

How should the #EU support #OpenSource companies and communities? How about the #Fediverse?
