Impressed by how well DeltaChat works nowadays!
https://delta.chat/en/
I could easily create an account without sharing any details. Connect with a friend's Android based phone & an iPhone. We could videocall & send small apps like a game or a shared list.
Apparently I can host my own chat relay & don't need to use someone else's infrastructure, but I haven't tested that yet.
This might be my Signal replacement. Well done @delta@chaos.social

Folks, can you share this post more widely? I haven't heard anything about digital sovereignty for social networks in Korea or Japan, or in Oceania, both of which are hotspots of the Fediverse. I want to know about and connect with people doing this work. #DigitalSovereignty #DigitalAutonomy

Hondenmens en men zegt dat ik onverwachte eindjes met elkaar verbind. Heb gewerkt als loopbaanadviseur & projectleider in de culturele en recreatieve sector. Ben fan van Open Source. o. a. Linux en e/OS. Eigen keuzes maken, daar praat ik vaak met mensen over. Sinds april 2022 met pensioen: nu het afkicken. En nu probeer ik minder te vinden en meer te zien. Flevobike trike & BMW R69/S Veel gebruikte 'Gebruikersnaam': dirkjanl

Zo, hier wordt even wat duidelijk gemaakt. Euro Office wordt door de EU als #Opensource gebracht, maar dat is dus helemaal niet waar. Lang leve #libreoffice

Dutch civil servant fired because he spoke up against the takeover of #Solvinity that provides the #DigiD service. DigiD is the central system that is used in the #Netherlands to log in into official government and related services.
Solvinity, the company hosting DigiD will probably be taken over by Kyndryl, a US company. Putting the login functionality of the Dutch official digital services under US #jurisdiction.

It is me talking. I had yesterday a talk with the title "Cloud Services and Digital Independence". The event was for LUT alumni and now it is publicly available. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJSNiiOk7Yk #cloud #sovereignCloud #digitalAutonomy
