For Open-Source to work, we all need to come together and contribute. Even without money or coding experience, there are many ways to help, including administrative support, forum moderation, marketing, documentation, security reviews, and mentorship. #opensource #giveback

The EU Commission plans to move away from Microsoft Teams. Given the speed, it shows how little Teams has managed to integrate with legacy tech stacks. #teams #techintegration #digitalsovereignty

'The "i" in "LLM" stands for intelligence.' The register has a lovely take on why Enterprise IT often overhypes products and what that means for AI. #enterpriseit #AI #hype

That's what we need! AI-generated online betting advice. #AI #betting

I got my new Framework laptop. Assembling it was a bit like building a LEGO set as a grown-up :-) #laptop

I got told that a speech of mine about Digital Sovereignty sounds like a bunch of conspiracy theories. Thankfully, big tech companies create enough references to prove it. #digitalsovereignty #tech #speech #conspiracytheory

BNN has an interesting take on AI, Privacy, and Canada's dependency on US tech. #digitalsovereignty #tech #AI

Interesting take from Malaysia on how control over social media and datasets threatens to turn nations into digital colonies. States that are at the mercy of foreign countries and companies. #digitalsovereignty #colonialism

Knowing how your data travels around the globe can be both empowering and a bit scary. However, new open-source tools now enable us to assess how interdependent our networks and services are. #opensource #data

Free Software Friday! Sometimes we overlook the power some simple tools can have. tmux for example, can help you view multiple terminal sessions on one screen and keep them alive even if your network connection drops. #opensource #freesoftware #terminal

Like every bubble, AI companies might soon run out of other people's money. Unfortunately, it will hit employees at Microsoft, Amazon, OpenAI, and Co. before it hits overconfident CEOs and inattentive Boards. #AI #bubble

Digital Sovereignty isn't just a state-level concern. It's a part of making ourselves and our organizations more resilient to external threats and pressures. #digitalsovereignty #resilience

Sometimes I wish journalists would be more accurate. China didn't outright warn that Claw is insecure. They warned that many users run it with insecure settings. (Or said differently, the users didn't follow the setup instructions) #cybersecurity #AI #user www.reuters.com/worl...

In AI scale ≠ progress. Real AI must earn its keep through measurable ROI, not moonshot hype. Read more 👉 www.korte.co/2026/02... #AI #AGI #TechLeadership

"Don't look at the big mountain in the distance. Look at concrete steps you can take to start." is excellent advice, both for achieving digital sovereignty and for life in general. #digitalsovereignty

Indeed. They're supposedly "disabled" right now (if you can trust Flock on that detail) and we're waiting on the council to terminate the contract and get these removed.

The stupidity of the US political system. Choose between what is better for the people and what will get you sufficient campaign funds. #AI #uselections

It's great that people are becoming more aware of why their privacy matters and how to take steps to protect themselves online. #privacy

Once you know what a Flock camera looks like, it quickly becomes scary how many of them are around. There doesn't seem to be any road leaving Redmond, Washington, that doesn't feature at least one of them. Or said differently, if you leave Redmond, Flock, the police, and ICE will know. #AI #camera

The UK has begun offering free AI courses to employees. Unfortunately, they are almost exclusively marketing material from Big Tech companies. We need independent education about AI, not companies using public funds to sell their products to consumers. #AI #education

"Should the FDA make sure it's safe?" I think the SEC would be the better regulator. Mandate that the CEOs and their families of the respective companies must be the first users. That will ensure safety. #AI #regulation #medicine

Germany's Bundestag is showing that the biggest obstacle to digital sovereignty isn't the features that proprietary big tech provides. It's our own unwillingness to change and adapt our habits. #digitasovereignty #human #users

It's our mindless choices that enable surveillance. www.korte.co/0p8f

It looks like, in the drive to deploy AI systems, most companies are forgetting about even the most basic cybersecurity practices. However, for me, that's a fault in the human oversight, not rooted in the AI being open-source. #AI #cybersecurity

It's an interesting perspective that the global movement for Digital Sovereignty will cause a larger stock correction in US tech stocks than in AI. #digitalsovereignty #stocks

How is the requirement to disclose AI even remotely controversial? Either your AI is good enough to be proud of its results, or you might want to consider not using it. #AI #journalism #culture

Given how much data there is about each of us, it would be interesting to see how long an AI could pretend to be one of us. #AI #privacy

Asking NVIDIA about concerns with their AI deal is like asking someone with an addiction about their latest purchase; they will deny there is a problem until it is far too late. #AI #openai #bubble #addiction

AI might be the first technology that hits more educated workers first. Until then, it serves as an excuse for routine layoffs. #AI #tech #jobs

The test for a sovereign cloud isn't just who controls your data, but also who else has access to it. #digitalsovereignty #cloud #data

It's oddly liberating to complete a bunch of 5-minute todos from the backlog. Somehow, I keep piling these up in the important-but-not-urgent category until the list is so full I cannot find anything else. #productivety #todo

Strangely, Gartner thinks Nations must spent 1% on AI. To give some global comparisons: Education around 5%, Defense around 2%. #AI #spending

It is critical to protect yourself, your data, and your privacy before jumping on any tech trend. #AI #privacy

Between US politics and Big Tech's AI choices, nations are cutting their reliance on US tech and choosing Open Source alternatives. #digitalsovereignty #cybersecurity

Believe it or not, today marks the end of the first month of this year. Somehow, all the chaos in the world made January feel really long. #time

Digital Sovereignty doesn't just mean controlling your tech right now. It also includes having a plan in place to change providers, if circumstances change. #digitalsovereignty #exitstrategy #dataexit

The Linux Kernel finally has a succession plan in place. Given that Linux runs most of the world's networks, this should have happened two decades ago. I guess better late than never. #successionplan #linux

While U.S. Big Tech may be entrenched in Canada at present, Europe shows that it only requires a bit of political will to break these limits. Now, it's just up to politicians to find the will to pivot to open-source. #opensource #digitalsovereignty

Free Software Friday! If you are curious about Linux, installing it can be the first hurdle, especially if you want to try out multiple different flavors. Ventoy can help you get started and make it easy to try various distributions. #freesoftwarefriday #linux #distrohopping

Finally, a valid use case for AI automation. AI can help us turn the US into a more efficient authoritarian state ... Somehow, that doesn't sound appealing. #AI #authoritarianism #AIusecase

Gartner predicts that by next year, a third of the world will be locked into region-specific AI. I find that number weirdly low, especially given the current political climate in the US and China and how both are using tech for economic leverage. #AI #digitalsovereignty

Encrypting your data is worth little if someone else has a copy of your keys. #digitalsovereignty #encryption

The internet runs on surveillance capitalism, but your data doesn’t have to be the product.​ Read my new blog on how to start protecting yourself from digital tracking, choose privacy‑respecting tools, and turn privacy into a daily habit. www.korte.co/2026/01... #privacy #opensource #surveillance

The problem with tech in education might not be more technology. Going back to worksheets and writing assignments by hand might help overcome the current wave of AI problems. #AI #education www.npr.org/2026/01/...

If you look at the timeline, it's weird how long it took the world to realize how the US government and Big Tech abuse their power. I guess it needed the caricature of a president to make us all aware. #digitalsovereignty #espionage

Most US cities lack the cash to fix the potholes in their streets. AI is not going to help with that. #AI #cities

From a speech in Canada: Around 1900, the British built the All-Red-Line to keep all communication within the Empire. Today, we happily transmit our communications around the world without a thought for sovereignty, privacy, or security. #history #communication #digitalsovereignty

Same Old story coming from North Korea. They are once again trying to gain access to open-source projects to use them in cyberattacks. #opensource #cybersecurity #northkorea

Even if Digital Sovereignty wasn't an objective, saving a million Euros per 100k users makes switching video conferencing providers a very sound governance decision. #digitalsovereignty #videoconference

Sometimes I wonder what goes on in our brains. Countless studies show that TikTok manipulates people, and they get ignored. Now, Trump indirectly controls the manipulation, and people flee from TikTok. Ask: Could Trump take over Facebook and Microsoft? #politics #socialmedia
