Published: June 16, 2026 16:00
Some time ago, I attended an event to discuss European digital autonomy and digital dependencies. I accepted the invitation without checking too carefully, and I belatedly found out that most of US big tech was invited as well, and would be presentingā¦

https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/eu-civil-society-need-progress-digital-autonomy/
Published: June 15, 2026 13:00
By now (happily) everyone wants to talk about digital autonomy, although some parties insist we talk about sovereignty. Fine. tl;dr: The discussions on digital autonomy are now going round in circles. Civil society and think tanks want to contribute, andā¦
De gietijzeren pan en big tech

Published: June 8, 2026 11:00
Al een jaar of tien koken we thuis op gietijzeren pannen. Inmiddels voelt koken op een anti-aanbakpan voor mij als koken op plastic. De voordelen zijn verder evident. Ik heb in die tien jaar tijd nog geen pan hoeven vervangen, bijvoorbeeld. Teflon- enā¦

Published: June 7, 2026 10:36
Ik ben een heel tevreden klant van KPN Internet. Om diverse redenen gebruik ik de Experia Box niet, maar ik wil wel graag TV kunnen kijken met de KPN Interactieve TV Set Top Box (ā5202ā). Vroeger ging dat āvanzelf goedā, tegenwoordig is daar wat werk voorā¦

Gisteren verscheen de brief waarmee de staatssecretaris van Economische Zaken en Klimaat liet weten dat ze de overname van Solvinity door Kyndryl ging verbieden. Een forse cast mensen, waaronder 200.000 ondertekenaars van een petitie, hebben geholpen deā¦
Some notes on how we ended up with Palantir & how to replace it
https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/some-notes-on-palantir/
Published: May 23, 2026 08:30
There is justified anger about governments relying on Palantir software. There are also calls to write replacement software, perhaps imbued with European values, and with less fascism. And Iād love for that to happen pronto, but first we need to understandā¦

https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/digitale-autonomie-wat-kunnen-organisaties-nu-doen/
Published: May 21, 2026 11:30
De zorgen over digitale autonomie nemen toe, en steeds vaker krijg ik van (grote) organisaties de vraag: wat kunnen we NU doen? Nou heb ik wel een lijstje, maar voor we beginnen, besef dat we 15 jaar lang alles naar Amerika hebben geschoffeld. Of, weā¦

Published: May 8, 2026 20:35
I had previously learned a lot from this book review by George Orwell, which is actually a lot more than a book review. Recently I had cause to look it up again and found it had vanished from the searchable internet. With some sleuthing I have recovered aā¦

āAlice laughed. āThereās no use trying,ā she said. āOne canāt believe impossible things.ā I daresay you havenāt had much practice,ā said the Queen. āWhen I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes Iāve believed as many as sixā¦
