It's a sad world when web designers and developers bother to make websites accessible to AI but don't care about doing the same for people with vision impairments. #AI #humanity techpolicy.press/the...

I thought DOGE cut all the funding for NIH projects? How come cancer research got cut, but we have money for stupid AI tools? #AI #aging #corruption

Tip for startup founders: Most investors won't care whether you vibe-coded the greatest app even in existence. All we will ask you is how many people are paying for it, and when you will break even. #startup

Currently, most of Africa lacks the infrastructure to capture the value its young population could create. Let's hope the recent tech policy can change it. #digitalsovereignty #techpolicy

I'm currently building pedalboards and effect loops for my son's band. There is something about twisting knobs and swapping pedals and modulation settings that I don't think an LLM could capture. #AI #music #guitar #pedalboard

Relying on Big Tech means signing over your sovereignty to another country's laws. #digitalsovereignty

The one great thing about using Jitsi for meetings is that there aren't a dozen plus AI assistants swarming the meeting. #AI #meeting

For the longest time, Chinese AI companies took a sensible approach to AI, focusing on practical applications. Unfortunately, Deepseek seems to follow the US Big Tech mission of finding AGI (whatever that means). #AI #AGI

Let's be honest. In most of these layoffs, AI is just a convenient excuse. As such, AI-proofing your job will do nothing to protect you. However, it might help find the next opportunity, as it shows that you are still willing and capable of learning. #AI #learning #jobloss

So, SpaceX is losing a lot of money on xAI. However, its valuation is driven up by AI potential rather than by the boring rocket stuff. Somehow, I have the feeling I want to keep my sanity and not try to understand the IPO market. #AI #ipo

Welcome to "build your own AI-regulation" with our host, President Donald Trump. For a few measly million dollars in donations to the ballroom, you can now design a custom AI-regulation. It's like Build-A-Bear, just for grown men. #AI #regulation

Free Software Friday! Sometimes, it's the small applications in life, that make the biggest impact. Like KTeaTimer. A nifty KDE tool that helps me brew the perfect tea every time. #opensource #freesoftwarefriday #tea

(paywall) Airbnb's CEO has a good point. In their AI race with China, US lawmakers seem to miss that Open Source means no one else controls your IT infrastructure. #AI #opensource www.bloomberg.com/ne...

Weirdly, some people think that choosing Open Source and Open Standards would lead to isolation. #digitalsovereignty #opensource

It's interesting how reporting on AI regulation seems to focus on the two extremes: A) Trump: Any regulation is too much B) China: 100% surveillance of any AI use There should be some governance model in the middle. Yet, those disappear in the noise. #AI #regulation

AI is now a board-level issue, not just an IT one. I just published a post on the 7 questions every director should ask to turn AI into a strategic asset rather than a hidden risk. #AI #Governance #Board www.korte.co/2026/05...

Looks like even billion-dollar companies cannot secure the marketplaces they run, but tell me again how it is an Open Source problem. #cybersecurity #marketplace #opensource

In IT (and most infrastructures), steady investments are often cheaper than big bursts of replacing infrastructure long past its due date. #itgovernance #budget

It's truly strange how journalists seem to alternate between "AI will change our lives" and "Why the f do countries want to control their AI?" Maybe, someone wants to investigate if there is a connection between the two. #digitalsovereignty #AI

Great trick for data center permitting: If you put your water consumption in cubic meters and the comparisons in cubic feet, not only do you sound more sophisticated, but your consumption also appears 35 times smaller. #AI #datacenter

Most VCs don't understand how commercial Open Source works. Funnily enough, if the vibecoding pipedreams would work out, the commercial Open Source model might be the only way for tech companies in the future. #opensource #AI #VC

The economic future of most countries depends on their digital capabilities. Without control over their IT, most countries will be unable to control their future. #digitalsovereignty

We haven't lost the idea of the "Free Internet." We gave it away for pointless services and social media addictions. #digitalsovereignty

Open Source governance goes beyond IT. www.korte.co/7jeb #opensource #governance #board

Well, hacking npm has now become a contest between different hacker groups. Even if none succeed, everyone in the Open Source community will pay for it, whether through lower trust or donations needed to keep registries online. #cybersecurity #opensource

If you control a country's IT, you can control its future. #digitalsovereignty

If you want AI to screw you over, use it for your travel bookings. #AI #travel

It's fascinating and telling that Vibecoding hasn't taken over but is still very much hyped. Could we admit, that marketing and hype have far outpaced technical capabilities? #AI #coding

Hey, a new medical AI use case. So much for AI making the world a better place. #AI #medical #dental

If you ever wonder what ecosystem control can look like, SAP is showing everyone right now by restricting API access to approved AI partners. Remember that the next time someone claims digital sovereignty is only about the data center location. #digitalsovereignty #opensource

The AI industry doesn't have a PR problem. It has a results problem. Right now, we get all the bad things, including mental health problems and layoffs, that critics warned about. Yet, all the good things proponents predicted are missing. #AI

My Bank finally convinced me to go through the process of opting out of their marketing emails. Who in their right mind would authorize a 1MB email with a looping, red blinking "Urgent" gif at the top about loan rates going up? #spam #banks

Unfortunately, the our government doesn't really care about what the majority thinks. #AI #politics

We all can win in the AI race. We only have to be ready to give up our humanity. #AI

The fact that many university-educated computer science and business majors don't understand the Social and political changes around the Industrial Revolution makes me think we aren't teaching enough humanities in university. #education #AI #industrialrevolution

The real AI race is about neither models nor computing power. It's about political and economic power and control. #AI #airace

Given how much of our lives are controlled by data, asking who controls it is critical for modern life. (Not even to mention a modern economy) Only Open Source can genuinely answer that question. #data #digitalsovereignty

Successful Open Source migration depends on backing, velocity, and integrations. Join me at the Forbes Tech Council to learn more about the successful migrations we led at Univention and what was crucial to their success. #opensource #migration #digitalsovereignty

Free Software Friday! It can be mind-blowing to see how you spend your time on your computer. Thankfully, there is an Open Source solution that can help you (and only you) track what you are doing. #opensource #productivity #freesoftwarefriday

So, their latest cybersecurity model is too dangerous to release to the public. Yet they cannot use it in their own codebase to find errors? #cybersecurity #AI

Open source as digital sovereignty. That frames it beyond engineering. When your infrastructure depends on code you don't control, you've outsourced your sovereignty. What's the governance model that prevents open source from becoming open extraction?

The US government's latest "Data for foreign aid" extortion scheme should have shown everyone how important Digital Sovereignty truly is. #digitalsovereignty #foreignpolitics

Germany had the chance of saying no to this pointless espionage and data collection. Yet, it seems "we don't transfer the data routinely to the US" is all we can hope for. #espionage #data

Open source is no longer just an engineering choice. It’s a boardroom issue. It affects resilience, innovation, vendor risk, and digital sovereignty. My latest post breaks down why governance matters. #OpenSource #governance #DigitalSovereignty www.korte.co/2026/05...

(Paywall) I always thought that lobbying was something you do quietly in the background, not something you celebrate with grand openings and fancy names. I guess we are on the final leg of selling our democracy. #AI #lobbying www.nytimes.com/2026...

Bloomberg has released a list of Open Source projects in its tech stack. Many of the entries are the usual suspects, yet it truly shows how Open Source is running the world. #opensource #news

The curious thing about these AI rankings is that there is no universally agreed-upon criterion for what to rank. Which is great if you need your AI to pump out news articles, but it isn't great if you actually need information. #AI

It is amazing how everyone at the OpenAI trial is nonchalantly admitting they committed crimes. So far we have: - Lying under oath - Falsifying business records - Breach of fiduciary duty All without remorse or even understanding, as if it were just another Tuesday. #AI #business #governance

I'm snickering. I guess getting a 3-minute AI advertisement in an 11-minute commencement wasn't what the students had in mind. Never mind that a college of humanities offers many ways to talk about AI without having students boo. #AI #commencement

The weird thing about asking whether Africa is ready for AI is assuming that a giant continent from Egypt to South Africa and from Senegal to Madagascar is just one monolith. #AI #digitalsovereignty
