Of course it fooking has.

> There was a recent incident where Microsoft somehow allegedly blocked a mailbox of a sanctioned individual. Any organization highly depending on MS products that might come into the crosshair should ask - can this happen to me? What would be the cost? How much I invest into prevention of this scenario?

Canadian #climate scientists brace for cuts to climate science infrastructure and data

U.S. President Donald Trump's attacks on climate #science are putting our #Earth-observing systems, both in the #oceans and in orbit, at risk. Canadian scientists who rely on U.S. led climate #data infrastructure worry about losing long-term data that would affect our ability to track our changing climate.

For my personal calendar, I have #Radicale 3.4.1 installed on a #Debian VPS. It works great, accessing it from #Thunderbird, or the "Fossify Calendar" (from #FDroid) in #Android. I can read and write events from both clients.

I was gifted an iPad, and the default Calendar app lets me have read-only access (only!) to Radicale. When it comes to writing events, that lofty privilege is reserved for iCloud Calendars only, not those riff-raff Calendars that use CalDAV.

Edit: I eventually sorted it out.

I opened a Github "Discussion" thread (for Radicale) on this:
github.com/Kozea/Radicale/disc

I guess the moral of this story is: Thunderbird, and Fossify Calendar, thanks for being sane! Also, kudos to #Davx5, which I also rely upon a lot in Android, for my CardDAV contacts to work properly - also stored in Radicale.

PS: #Apple is really hoity-toity. I would never choose into buying an Apple device myself, ever again. #DataSovereignty is next to impossible. #OpenSource

‘A threat to autonomy’: Dutch parliament urges government to move away from US cloud services.

The Dutch parliament approved several motions to build a national cloud and reduce dependence on US cloud technology.

The Netherlands Court of Audit found that many government ministries have used public clouds hosted by Google, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services without being aware of the potential risks.

📢 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.
