Attended a great talk yesterday at @dedependance hosted by Nuria Ribas Costa with @Mer__edith and Evelyn Austin (@bitsoffreedom) about #Signal, AI and Europe's "Big Tech Initiatives" (amongst other things).
They had an interesting perspective on how Europe can catch up on the US with regards to Big Tech, "the cloud"¹, hyperscalers, etc.
Their perspective was: should we even want this? Should we want to copy the US's Big Tech template and perhaps end up like them?
¹ such a dumb term

GPS collars used to control farm animals may soon become allowed in Sweden.

Meanwhile, GPS thingys used to control humans have been in use for quite some time. 😉
So we can look forward to that soon, both farm animals and humans will be controlled in the same way.

🌟 Exciting News in Digital Freedom! 🌟
Starting next month, Denmark's Minister of Digitization, Caroline Stage, plans to phase out Microsoft and other tech giants' programs within her ministry. This bold move aims to reduce reliance on U.S.-based tech companies and embrace open-source alternatives.
Half of the ministry's employees will transition to a new computer system, replacing Windows with open-source solutions. Specifically, they will adopt LibreOffice, a free and open-source office suite, as an alternative to Microsoft's Word, Excel, Teams, and PowerPoint.
"I want to take the lead and try it out. When the opportunity presented itself, it would be crazy not to seize it. I am very much looking forward to seeing how it works in practice," says Minister Stage.
This initiative aligns with Denmark's broader strategy to achieve digital sovereignty and reduce dependence on large tech corporations. The goal is for the entire ministry to be free of Microsoft by the fall. However, if the transition faces significant challenges, there is flexibility to revert temporarily.
The push for digital sovereignty is gaining momentum, especially in light of current global dynamics and concerns over data protection. Political parties like the Red-Green Alliance and the Alternative have also voiced support for reducing ties with American tech giants.
Let's celebrate this shift towards freedom, collaboration, and innovation in the tech landscape! 🎉

Laptop sticker update!
A few new, a few new-old, as I removed a large one to make space for a few I've had around for a while 🎉
Can you find one of yours, or one you also have?
The Danish government is planning to reduce their use of Microsoft's software.
During the summer of 2025, half of the employees at one government agency are to start using LibreOffice, with the goal that the whole agency should be free from Microsoft by autumn.
This is part of a strategy that aims at strengthening Denmark's digital sovereignty and reduce their dependence on US tech companies.
Ur NOSADs Nyhetsbrev juni 2025:
"Danmarks Digitaliseringsminister planerar att minska användningen av Microsofts programvaror. Under sommaren 2025 ska hälften av medarbetarna börja använda Libre Office, med målet att hela departementet ska vara fritt från Microsoft Office innan hösten. Åtgärden ingår i en ny digitaliseringsstrategi som syftar till att stärka Danmarks digitala suveränitet och därmed minska beroendet av amerikanska teknikföretag."
