Writing a piece about why @spatialised does not do geoAI (aka #geoJMSU ) and noting a hard uptick in the Australian (and global) froth and noise level in the geo* sector about how geoAI is the future...
So. If you're after cartography, field data collection, drone mapping, project development that isn't made up - and keep bumping into #geoJMSU vendors - reach out!
Based in #Bendigo, Victoria, Australia.

BigTech built walls. We break them.
Decentralized. Secure. Untouchable.
BigTech refused to build a world with 100% privacy & security – because it would end their business model.
If we don’t act now, their control will be irreversible.
This is already bigger than they expected – and growing every day. If you believe in real digital sovereignty, prove it. Boost this. Spread the word. Join the movement.

@LehtoriTuomo @actuallyautistic I've always had a distrust of big corporations, wary to depend on them any more than absolutely necessary. I tend to set up something or other every once in a while, which gives me such independence you speak of. Lately, it's been the "radicale" CalDAV calendar server.
#DataSovereignty #SelfHosting
Whether or not you use LibreOffice, it's very wise to save your documents in a free and open format on a medium that isn't controlled by a third party – so that you don't get locked out of them in future! Learn more on Document Freedom Day, coming up on March 26: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/02/26/dfd-at-libreoffice/ #foss #OpenSource #DataSovereignty
Interested to hear Dr Taiuru and the Microsoft rep discussing how moving Family Court data to the Microsoft cloud is acceptable... RNZ's Ninetonoon just after 9. (hint: it's not, ever. US Cloud and Patriot Acts make it untenable, regardless of where the 'cloud' actually is. Expect Karaitiana will be fairly strongly against it.)
There's a nonprofit whose website I support that monitors the far right. They want to set up a mirror site in Iceland (or other country with strong data sovereignty laws) in case the Trump administration takes down their website.
Does anyone have Icelandic hosting companies they recommend? The website is in #Drupal
boosts appreciated
Does anyone in the #PDX area have the appetite to pool some resources and make a move to self hosting? Some folks in Denmark have started https://data.coop/, and I’d like to follow that example.
Especially in these times, getting my data out of Google Drive, iCloud, etc. onto hardware *we* own and control feels enticing. But doing it alone isn’t economically viable.

Yes, enabling for #DataSovereignty. But, also some properties of #Fediverse imply others can do with (their copies of) the data what they want, too; which is in tension with that sovereignty.
A good article exploring how one user is Taking control of their life with #OrgMode

I'm glad of my choice to put everything by default in #OrgMode @pauleveritt
Being #PlainText, it's trivial to integrate with existing workflows for backup, version control, synchronisation, analysis, etc.
And of course being #FreeSoftware it'll never be locked away from me by the actions of others.

Where would you feel most comfortable storing your encrypted off-site backups? Any insight you can provide would really help us as we ramp up.
In #Warsaw now, last week #Budapest, reflecting on contrasts:
While #DataCooperatives spark interest in the #US (citizen-driven sovereignty), in #postcommunist Eastern #EU, they [ #cooperatives ] still evoke state-owned associations, needing clarity
From my decade in #Mondragon exploring promise of #Cooperatives for #Web3 + #AI
The rise and capture of national statistics programmes by #bigtech is captured well in this piece: https://botpopuli.net/statistical-sovereignty-democracy-and-big-tech-challenges-of-datafication-for-nation-states/ #data #datasovereignty
