  So Denmark's Open Source test seems to have failed because Microsoft has so many badly documented and poorly implemented features in MS Office that the software breaks every competitor. Sounds almost like a hostage situation. #digitalsovereignty #vendorlockin https://www.tomshardware.com/software/microsoft-office/denmarks-bid-to-ditch-microsoft-office-for-open-source-alternative-collabora-collapses-in-under-six-months-employees-cite-issues-with-style-formatting-and-tracking-changes

  Interestingly, the biggest issue holding back EU-Canada cooperation is the lack of IT standards. It also underscores the danger of proprietary default values. #digitalsovereignty #standards https://www.cigionline.org/articles/toward-a-canada-europe-alliance-building-a-global-bridge-for-ai-and-digital-infrastructure/

  I love Anthropic's IPO documents. The Risk Factors section details, in 93 pages, every possible nightmare they might cause. Perfect for writing a dystopian novel. Maybe we should reduce the number of issues before we further enable AI to act on them. #AI #riskfactors #riskmanagement #dystopia

  OK, so apart from all the three-letter agencies, we now get a "super intelligence force." I somehow feel like our government has too much time and money. #AI #military https://abcnews.com/Politics/president-donald-trump-announces-creation-super-intelligence-force/story?id=136986122

  AI companies win on more than model performance. Deliberate governance turns speed into sustainable growth and trust into a competitive advantage. Better AI still needs human judgment. Governance isn't the opposite of innovation. It makes innovation last. #AI #governance https://www.korte.co/2026/10/29/why-ai-companies-benefit-from-deliberate-governance/

  Nothing about Microsoft's posturing would help you if the US decides to sanction you or subpoena your emails from Microsoft. In the end, unless you can choose your provider, all the changes they make are just smoke, mirrors, and a lot of marketing. #digitalsovereignty https://www.cio.com/article/4238389/microsoft-expands-sovereign-cloud-offerings-as-data-control-concerns-grow.html

  Microsoft's argument in South Africa is interesting because they acknowledge what sovereignty is. Yet, in the next step, they say you should treat sovereignty as an absolute, but as a sliding scale, which would move Azure from "no" to "court order needed." #digitalsovereignty https://iafrica.com/microsoft-sets-out-a-six-part-definition-of-digital-sovereignty-to-south-african-officials/

  Billionaires brief the UN on the need to regulate them. Why not members of civil society? Climate scientists? Laid-off people?

  It's sad how malware is targeting community projects around Open Source software.

  China's rise in providing Open Source AI isn't just putting the US's technological leadership into doubt. It's a challenge to our financial and business system.

  Misinformation is shaping the digital sovereignty debate, but most claims don’t hold up. Open Source, decentralization, and real-world IT experience tell a different story: more control, not less.

  A few days old, but it's fascinating that Ireland is now jumping onto digital sovereignty, especially as it's home to most US tech companies' European or global operations. #digitalsovereignty https://www.theregister.com/public-sector/2026/07/22/ireland-stalls-1b-microsoft-tender-amid-digital-sovereignty-questions/5276149
