#StrategicAutonomy

I was talking to a colleague last week about what REAL #StrategicAutonomy would mean.

For software in critical infrastructure, I think it would include military hardware-like contractual provisions, requiring eg the full #audit and #escrow of all source code, including for updates… and the right at any time for governments facing supply/continued operation threats to use that escrowed code to recreate their own versions of the software, and use them until the supply threats are removed.

Could Macron be the new leader of Europe?

Emmanuel Macron is Europe's "point man," and in the absence of a formal German government, he is driving France's vision of Europe amid war to its east and incoming tariffs across the Atlantic.

Time for a fully open version? What is there already out there? (Excuse my Android fork ignorance :) #StrategicAutonomy

Librem SocialHans-Christoph Steiner (@eighthave@librem.one)"Exclusive: Google will develop the Android OS fully in private..." Looking again at https://www.androidauthority.com/google-android-development-aosp-3538503/ I really think that was a PR piece, e.g. #Google's PR firm put together the story for #Android Authority. Its got all the markings, the "Exclusive" part, the uncritical eye "Google is simply consolidating its development efforts into a single branch", minimizing harm to custom ROMs, "custom ROMs will largely also see little change" etc #AOSP #PublicRelations #FreeSoftware #ClosedSource

Dining and Cooking · France’s push for strategic autonomy crumbles under Trump’s booze tariffs – POLITICOU.S. President Donald Trump upped the ante last week by threatening 200 percent tariffs on European alcohol. Such a move would disproportionally affect winemaking countries including France, which exported €15.4 billion worth of wine and spirits last year, according to the Federation of French Wine and Spirits Exporters (FEVS), most of which went to the United States. France is the EU’s top exporter of wine and spirits, and the sector is particular influential in French politics and society. With one of its most valuable exports now in the White House’s crosshairs, French leaders appear to be getting cold feet on

Really, #Europarlement, I see nine social media buttons at the bottom of your site at:

europarl.europa.eu/portal/en

All to non public values driven, #privacy disrespecting #socialmedia platforms.

How is it possible that there is no #Mastodon button? Mastodon the only truly decentralized, public value driven, #opensource and independent social media platform.

How wil the #EU reach #DigitalSovereignty and #StrategicAutonomy when its #parlement gives such a bad example.

Practice what you preach!
