In case anyone was still under the assumption that US Big Tech and the Trump regime aren't one and the same:

The US has ordered its diplomats to lobby against EU attempts to regulate US tech companies 🚨

We need ethical open alternatives.

It's cool that we're all choosing open EU alternatives to Big Tech because we want to protect our data..

..but it would be nice if the argument for these alternatives would also focus on ethical consumerism.

Aka is it right to financially support companies that sponsor certain regimes (Oracle), violate human rights (Apple), are hostile to their workers (AWS), promote surveillance capitalism (Google), are detrimental to the planet (Microsoft) etc, when there are ethical alternatives?

How do we ensure that the #opensource components we build upon are also sustainably maintained? 🤔

@opensource@social.overheid.nl organized a conference on Open Source Procurement today.

70% to 90% of all software contains open source components. 60% of those are run by 1 person. That's a fragile ecosystem.

With a purchasing volume of 116 billion euro, the Dutch gov can make an impact - if they reserve a portion of funding for open source projects in every procurement (MVOI).

Our Dutch gov delegation had a great work visit in @landesregierung@social.schleswig-holstein.de and learned a lot about Schleswig-Holstein's #opensource journey. 🔥

These lessons will be integrated into our own #digitalsovereignty strategy. We'll also keep collaborating with SH, Germany and France to work towards a sovereign workspace.

Thanks again @digitalhubsh@social.schleswig-holstein.de for organizing!! 🇩🇪🥨
