Ik had laatst een leuk en lang gesprek met @katjabego@mastodon.social, onderzoeker bij de 'geopolitieke denktank' Chatham House over zeekabels, waarover zij na vier jaar research onlangs een boek uitbracht. Het ging over de macht die zeekabels geven en de dynamiek waarbij een steeds hoger percentage daarvan in handen van grote (meest Amerikaanse) techbedrijven zijn. Dat maakt ons in Europa dus nog afhankelijker. „Over zo’n tien jaar zijn alle oude kabels uit de roulatie. Het risico is groot dat er dan geen trans-Atlantische kabel meer is zonder fors aandeel van Amerikaanse Big Tech." https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/11/10/expert-zeekabels-het-systeem-dat-we-hebben-werkt-in-vredestijd-daar-zijn-we-niet-meer-a4940916 Schrijven is schrappen, dus ik heb er ook veel uitgelaten. Mocht je nog wat willen aanvullen, dan is dit een goede plek Katja. #Zeekabels #BigTech #DigitaleAutonomie #Datacenters #Internet

Hey, I haven't checked yet, but have the pornography sites survived the certificate and php issues? Asking for a friend. I, of course, only want to know because porn and kittens have been the incentives of internet use for a long time. I can still see kittens, so we're at around 50% incentive safety. 🤣 #internet #fediverse

Unter dem Vorwand von #Alterkontrollen zum #Jugendschutz scheint die autoritäre #EU nun ernst zu machen und möchte, dass sich Menschen zukünftig per Smartphone-App ausweisen, wenn sie das #Internet vollumfänglich nutzen möchten. Darin sieht man dann nicht nur die Versuche der EU, die Anonymität im Internet gänzlich und zu Gunsten von #Überwachungsstaat und #Überwachungskapitalismis zu beerdigen, sondern wohl auch immer mehr Menschen zum Besitz von Smartphones zu zwingen. Dies wiederum entspringt wohl der Tendenz zur Zwangsdigitalisierung möglichst aller Lebensbereiche und Informationen, die in der Konsequenz dann nur noch per #Smartphone - und damit staatlich überwacht und kontrolliert - offen stehen sollen.

@nemorosa@mastodon.nu I definitely couldn’t. When I started research on a book about 1916 I spent hours getting my grandparents’ and a couple of others’ birth, marriage and death certificates. With the internet (and Irish government generosity) I now have thousands. If I were in other countries not so, though - they monetise these records #research #internet

I made a new account on #Reddit just to answer a question from someone who was stuck on the current No Man's Sky expedition (I was stuck there too and know the solution to the problem). I won't be spending time on there anymore because all the reasons I left in the first place are still there, but it's worse than ever now. So much garbage. "Earn money on reddit," a billion ridiculous and childish "awards," and the vomit-worthy AI that pops up when you're searching for something. As I suspected when I left, them going IPO sent them straight to the toilet. They were already halfway there but they've hit the metaphorical goal like an asteroid crashing into the planet. Ew. #Enshittification #Internet

AI is TERRIBLE for the #internet If we like it or not, traffic has always been the currency on the web. Many news outlets and #journalists would not be able to do their work without it A lot of this traffic was coming from search engines like #Google, again like it or not. Nowadays Google uses their AI to pull info from sites making visiting websites for info obsolete and in turn killing traffic and a lot of sites For the love of the internet, please DO NOT use the #AI summary but browse!♥️
