Stop calling it #sideloading when you install an app on #Android that isn’t provided via #GooglePlaystore. It is just installing an app. Not less and not more. The phone is your own device. You bought it, you paid for it. You have all the rights to do with it what ever you want. And to install on it what ever you want from wherever you get it from.
It’s your choice and not the choice of #Google. They only provide the Android system and one option where to get apps for it. That’s it!

Überall in Europa sprießen die "Sovereign Clouds" aus dem Boden und die Europäer freuen sich: Hurra, endlich bekommen wir digitale Souveränität ... Wir bekommen doch digitale Souveränität ... oder?

Wenn man sich einmal ernsthaft durchdenkt, was eine "Sovereign Cloud" eines außereuropäischen Hyperscalers in Europa bedeutet, dann landet man in Gedanken schnell bei der guten alten Media Markt Werbung aus "Geiz ist Geil!" Zeiten: "La la lasst euch nicht veralbern ... vor allem nicht bei der Souveränität!"

Gehen wir zur Untermauerung der These einmal die einzelnen Bestandteile der Sovereign Cloud durch:

Gebäude ✅

Das Gebäude des Rechenzentrums steht in Europa. Dieses werden wir im Zweifelsfall nutzen können. Wenn es mal zum "Fall der Fälle" kommt und bspw. wie im Falle des Internationalen Gerichtshof Abschaltungen von Software drohen, dann können wir immerhin das Gebäude weiternutzen.

Server ✅

Die Server stehen im Gebäude. Das Gebäude steht in Europa. Die reinen Server als Hardware stehen daher unter unserem Zugriff und wir sind insoweit sicher. Das bedeutet, im Souveränitäts-Ernstfall können wir diese dann vielleicht noch weiterverwenden um wirklich souveräne Lösungen darauf zu betreiben.

Daten ❌

Die Daten liegen auf Systemen, die außereuropäischer Jurisdiktion unterliegt. Bspw. erstrecken einzelne Jurisdiktionen ihren Zugriffsanspruch auf Daten auf sämtlichen Servern weltweit. Über alles was dort liegt, entscheidet also nicht Europa alleine, sondern im Ernstfall auch außereuropäische Regierungen. Wollen wir da unsere Bürgerinnen- und Bürger- und Regierungsdaten ablegen?

Betriebssicherheit ❌

Die Systeme der außereuropäischen Hyperscaler werden mit propriertärer Software betrieben, deren Betrieb und Sicherheit nur sie selbst schaffen können. Sollten bspw. Exportbeschränkungen für Software entstehen, dann wird die Sovereign Cloud binnen weniger Wochen zum Schweizer Käse was Informationssicherheit betrifft und sie muss abgeschaltet werden.

▶️ Fazit: An den "Sovereign Clouds", wie sie derzeit überall aus dem Boden sprießen, also Gebäude in Europa, mit Blech in Europa, aber aller Software auf Basis der Hyperscaler-Produkte außereuropäischer Anbieter, ist so gar nichts souverän. Europa bleibt Beton & Blech. Digitales & Daten liegen außer unserer Kontrolle. Im Fall der Fälle geht die Sovereign Cloud binnen Wochen in die Knie. Das Konstrukt ist daher eine Nebelkerze und verschleiert, wo die tatsächlichen Probleme für Europa liegen. 🌫️🕯️

P.S.: Die neuen Jobs entstehen natürlich vor allem für den Wachhund und eine kleine Betriebsmannschaft, die ab und an mal ein Kabel neu einsteckt. Die eigentliche Wertschöpfung entsteht natürlich NICHT in Europa.

Was denkt ihr über "Sovereign Cloud"? Ich finde es legitim, Hyperscaler für bestimmte Dinge zu nutzen, wenn man sich der Risiken bewusst ist. Aber dieses Souveränitäts-Washing ist wirklich nicht schön. 🤷‍♂️

Ich sags ungern, aber: Told you so.
Vor genau diesem Szenario warne ich seit Monaten in diversen Vorträgen, Podcasts, Texten. Oft kommt zurück: "Ach komm, jetzt mach doch nicht immer alles schlecht. Wir können nicht auf KI verzichten, es machen doch alle..." Und: "Diese Attacken gibt es doch nur in der Theorie."
Voila: Hier eine reale Attacke des chinesischen Geheimdienstes mit der Hilfe von KI Agenten von Anthropic.

Screenshot aus dem Bericht: They also told Claude that it was an employee of a legitimate cybersecurity firm, and was being used in defensive testing. The attackers then initiated the second phase of the attack, which involved Claude Code inspecting the target organization’s systems and infrastructure and spotting the highest value databases. Claude was able to perform this reconnaissance in a fraction of the time it would've taken a team of human hackers. It then reported back to the human operators with a summary of its findings. In the next phases of the attack, Claude identified and tested security vulnerabilities in the target organizations’ systems by researching and writing its own exploit codes Having done so, the framework was able to use Claude to

"The curl project has been bombarded by large volumes of low quality AI slop security reports and Daniel shows examples. Sloppy humans causing Denial-of-Service attacks by overloading maintainers with quickly produced almost-real-looking rubbish.

At the same time, upcoming new AI powered tools find flaws and mistakes in existing code in ways no previous code analyzers have been able to. Daniel names names and shows examples of findings, some that even feels almost human."

'So let’s rewrite the new OWASP item. It’s not “Software Supply Chain Failures”. It’s more accurate to say “Collection of random software I found in the couch cushions that I don’t understand and we don’t know where most of it comes from”.'

Alter Falter und da hocken wir alle munter in den sozialen Netzwerken herum, gefühlt die Hälfte mit psychischen Erkrankungen die oft handlungsunfähig machen, starker Medikation, damit voll arbeitsfähig, mit hohem Leidensdruck und reden ein bisschen darüber, warum die USA gerade Faschismus in Reinform bringt und Russland seine Diktatur weiter vorantreibt und werden nicht in der Lage sein, unsere freiheitlichen Werte zu beschützen.
Gegen soziale Ungerechtigkeit auf die Straße? Nicht hier 😕😕😕

I’m surrounded by boxes. We’ve finally finished all the modifications, and we can move into our dream home tomorrow.
I’m sitting here looking at the house’s own website where we can control everything from, and the iOS app, and I’m awe struck by what we’ve built. I just hope it’ll be a very long time before we move again because I’m not sure we’ll ever do this so well again.
We got so lucky with the company I picked for this project. He wasn’t super knowledgable about #accessibility when we started working together, but he took me seriously and got into the challenge of finding the best options. I’m sure there will be shortcomings we identify once we actually live there, but we have the fundamentals right and the infrastructure, so it’ll be fun to tweak it and watch it grow.
I told Bonnie to say goodbye to the house when she left it this afternoon. It responded by turning off the Sonos, turning off the TV, and after sixty seconds it locked the door and set the alarm.
The visual descriptions it gives over all the Sonos’s of who is at the door, when it doesn’t recognize the person by name, are so detailed and vidid. And on and on and on. I’m really thrilled by what we’ve ended up with.
But there is one final thing I would say about this. It’s been a fun project, but even if we were moving into a tin shack, it would be a palace as long as Bonnie is there too.

Krásné dobré ráno lide mastodonský! 🙋‍♀️🐶🐈
Hola hej! Vstáváme radostně! Chystáme si snídaně. Tváříme se radostně! A já se ptám proč? Protože nás čeká prodloužený víkend! Takže se všechno TO, i když se neto. 😁
Jo, a ve sklepě máme nevítanou návštěvu. Ochutnala téměř z každé bedny brambor. Nevím, kterou vyhodnotila jako nejlepší. Mám takové tušení, že TAHLE návštěva od nás živá neodejde....😈 (ďábelský smích!) 😁
Vy si návštěvy užívejte a uctěte je co nejlépe. 😇

I predict if they rule GPT is infringing we will see lawsuits against software for similar reasons. Someone will go after open source projects too. Oracle?

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.

And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

This could be said of technologies before. Doesn't make it wrong.

Want to share something cool about Debian? Maybe it's something that is brand new and will help inspire other distros, or maybe something that is in Debian for a long time but people don't know or tend to forget, or maybe something in between?!

A little PSA: if your library of choice is facing funding cuts, don't hold off on using their services because you're worried it'll put pressure on their existing funds.

Take advantage of everything and help them get some lovely stats to help them demonstrate impact as they fight back! If it looks like they're not being useful to folks, they'll get cut!

Don't do the cost cutters' jobs for them!

I'm really hoping for Fediverse help here.

I have a 14 year old niece. She's incredibly smart and extremely motivated when it comes to engineering things.

I want to get her some electronics stuff, like an Arduino kit, but maybe something with wearables, etc. to make it more relevant to her than just a breadboard.

She'll also need some books on electronics, since she doesn't have the background in that.

Sadly, some limitations:

- I can't help her. Her mother won't let my wife or I talk to her. This gift itself will have to be given through a third party.

- She has a learning disability around reading- likely dyslexia, and so we need material that's easy to read

- Her English is not amazing, especially because of the learning disability.

So I'm looking for a kit with a ton of instructional material. Programming, electronics, breadboard, the whole kit and kaboodle.

If you have ideas, please share, and boost!
