I’ve been thinking deeply about how social media turns people into products.

Your body, your skin, your mind—none of them are broken. They just haven’t been commodified. And that’s not a flaw. That’s your freedom.

You’re not failing for not being “monetizable.” You’re still human.

I don’t want followers. I want connection.
If you feel the same way, let’s talk.

[Inspired by my conversation with an AI]

I've build a stack for an open productive environment 🚀

- Core (MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Adminer und Traefik)
- Website: Drupal
- Version control: Gitlab
- Mail: Mailcow
- Drive: Nextcloud
- Office: OnlyOffice
- Project management: OpenProject
- Notes: Hedgedoc

It needs 6cores-16GB-RAM-something to run 🏃

If this works out: good bye github, google, onedrive, msoffice!

Is It Time for European Technology Alternatives?

Europe’s reliance on US tech giants raises concerns about data privacy, compliance, and digital sovereignty.

The good news? Open source solutions provide transparent, flexible, and secure alternatives—giving individuals, businesses, and governments full control over their infrastructure.

A great example for #DigitalSovereignty done right is the French city of @echirolles that not only signs declarations but also uses #FOSS in practice, like #ZorinOS, @bigbluebutton, @libreoffice, @nextcloud and @peertube.

European cities, take note.

Especially those that are members of this coalition: citiesfordigitalrights.org/cit

Information about the UK #cybersecurity Bill coming out today:

Missing:

* Protections for encryption
* Explicit discussion of #digitalsovereignty and the need to transition to #opensource #foss
* Safeguards against future self inflicted cybersecurity disasters through hiding vulnerabilities leading to incidents like WannaCry

@openrightsgroup will be making the case for these changes
