Ich schätze, dass einige etwas übertrieben finden, wie sehr ich darauf rumreite, dass #DigitaleSouveränität ein problematischer Begriff ist.
Großartiger Text dazu, und aktuell zum Iran:
"..the current wave pushing digital sovereignty as the key to ending dependency on American and Chinese technology is negligent of its Eurocentric bias. Despite democrati…

Reeker has some strange acting and dialogue, is of odd overall quality, and has a questionable ending, but it has some wild effects in it, even early on. And Michael Ironside is in it. It's not too bad for 2005 😂
