August 25, 1991. Helsinki, Finland.
A computer science student named Linus Torvalds was frustrated.
He'd just spent his summer savings on a new 386 computer—powerful for its time, but useless without an operating system he could actually customize for real work.
He'd been using MINIX, an educational system designed by a professor for teaching. It worked, but deliberately limited. The professor wanted it simple for students. Linus wanted something he could actually…

Trump’s authoritarian actions are being mapped by British scientists. The Trump Action Tracker is a British academic’s answer to Trump “flooding the zone” with anti-democratic and anti- rule of law behaviours.

Danish Minister of Justice and chief architect of the current Chat Control proposal, Peter Hummelgaard, even said:

“We must break with the totally erroneous perception that it is everyone’s civil liberty to communicate on encrypted messaging services.”

If Chat Control is passed, opaque AI algorithms will decide whether your personal messages and your private pictures will be flagged or leaked.

X is blocking Signal domain links in DMs, labeling them as potentially harmful or spam

X has begun blocking links to the Signal.me domain, which is used for sharing contact details on the Signal messaging platform. Users trying to post these links in direct messages,…

Creeping totalitarianism is not so 'creeping' anymore. Mask has fell. We all see what is rolled out in UK and USA. Corrupt European politicians do same in Europe. Let me be very, very clear: It was never about "dangerous opinions." It's all about control, it's all about the insatiable machine of more and more and more and more, always more. Pretty much following the same design as does progressivism where fools compete being the most progressive and no one really knows where "progress" really ends.

Recent global political events have up ended the global order. 
Coupled with the EOL of Windows 10, does Desktop Linux have a shot at the mass replacement of Windows in the corporate and government sectors? This wide ranging talk will cover the reasons why I think it does, and how we might achieve this goal. I believe it is easier than we…

TL;DR: There is a new open letter signed by more than 500 scientists who have serious concerns on the latest (July 2025) version of the chat control proposal.

The Chat Control Proposal (Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse)  (CSA-R_Compromise (pdf)) is once again on the agenda of the European Council…

There are three main points when it comes to European tech sovereignty: data, market and capital. The EU is still lacking all of these.

The problem?

👉 We have overregulated our data economy without creating any real value.

👉 We still do not have one common market area.

👉 And we lack the competences to build a true Capital Markets Union. Member states cling to taxation, their pension funds or insolvency laws.

Vi står i en situation, hvor vi kan sætte tre flueben:
1) Enorme prisstigninger.
2) Kontinuerlige nedbrud og databrist.
3) Microsofts egne indrømmelser af, at de er ret ligeglade med vores indvendinger.

- og læg så til en amerikansk præsident, vi ikke kan stole på.

Hvis det ikke er nok til, at vi begynder at tage nødvendigheden af digital suverænitet seriøst, hvad er så?
Det har jeg i dag fået lov til at skrive om på Altinget

Thank you for all your messages and let me assure that I hear and understand your worry regarding ChatControl CSAM Danish proposal. We must stop this. ❗️

👉 The Danish EU Presidency is pushing a new, even more radical and unbelievable, version of the so called Chat Control CSAM proposal. The vote is now scheduled for October 14.

If the Hungarian proposal was bad, the Danish version is…

Neutrality Will Be Treated as Compliance

TL;DR:

It is now clearly visible that the U.S. and Big Tech are openly panicking as the world rejects their digital dominance. Open threats, export bans, and weaponized compliance have backfired, accelerating a global rebellion for digital sovereignty. From China to the EU and the Global South, nations are building independent tech stacks, enforcing new…

Microsoft’s Assimilation of GitHub Is Another Step in the Death of Platform Trust, the Rise of AI Extraction, and the Global Struggle to Reclaim Digital Sovereignty

Microsoft’s full-scale takeover of GitHub is the final blow to developer trust, turning the world’s open source backbone into proprietary AI fuel and erasing any illusion of platform neutrality. Once again, promises were made, trust is broken; just another step in content theft that Big Tech and Big AI think they can get away with. Developers, governments, and organizations worldwide are now at the mercy of corporate and geopolitical power plays. The only way forward is community-led rebellion, a new, truly sovereign commons, before software freedom is lost for good.

Vidste du at vi står midt i et opgør? Nedenfor er en lang og måske kedelig opsummering, primært for mig selv. You have been warned.

Der sker løbende et skred mod lukkede systemer, walled gardens, låste løsninger - og det er ikke kun fordi det offentlige uden omtanke låser os fast til eksempelvis bigtech. Se eksempelvis MitID og andre apps der kræver Google Play på Android telefoner, og derved holder andre mere åbne Android varianter udenfor.…

Way back da jeg stødte på Lotus Notes første gang blev jeg bedt om at lave en slags evaluering af Notes op mod groupwise og outlook (ca. 1996) ..og en ting der var meget slående var en sammenligning som microsoft's reklame afd. havde lavet.. og i deres checkpointsammenligning havde de brugt ms terminologi og i så at sige alle steder hvor de havde sat "nej" til om Notes kunne det samme, var det…
