Was passiert da gerade in den USA?
👉 Donald Trump hat über 4.000 Nationalgardisten + 700 aktive Marines nach Los Angeles geschickt – offiziell zur Unterstützung bei ICE-Razzien gegen Migrant:innen.
Unser ausführlicher Faktencheck ist ausnahmsweise KOMPLETT FREI LESBAR – keine Paywall:

Warum? ➡️ Weil es hier um Demokratie, Grundrechte und internationale Stabilität geht. Alle sollen verstehen, was passiert.

Telegram wirbt mit Sicherheit – doch laut einer Recherche kontrolliert ein russischer Netzwerktechniker namens Vedeneev große Teile der Infrastruktur, inklusive IP-Adressen und Serverzugang. Seine Firmen kooperierten mit FSB & Militär. Selbst »Ende-zu-Ende«-Chats lassen sich laut Experten zur Nutzerverfolgung ausnutzen. 👇

Von Word und Excel zu LibreOffice: Dänisches Ministerium verabschiedet Microsoft

Beim dänischen Digitalministerium sollen alle Angestellten ohne Microsoft auskommen. Stattdessen werde man Linux und LibreOffice nutzen, sagt die Ministerin.

Mit seinem Vorgehen gegen #Kalifornien folgt Donald #Trump dem Drehbuch des „Preußenschlags” vom 20. Juli 1932 in Deutschland: Der rechtsgerichtete Reichskanzler Franz von #Papen beseitigte in einem Putsch die sozialdemokratisch geführte Landesregierung des Freistaats Preußen und damit das wichtigste Bollwerk der Demokratie gegen die Machtergreifung von Adolf #Hitler
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preußenschlag#Historischer_Kontext

In Dänemark entfernt das Ministerium für Digitalisierung jetzt sämtliche Microsoft-Software von den Computern der Ministerien und stellt auf Open Source um. Diese Strategie wurde mit allen fünf Regionen Dänemarks vereinbart.
Caroline Stage will die Abhängigkeit von amerikanischen Tech-Giganten beenden.

[...] but be careful. The next one will be ours, the next four and five year-old kids will be ours. Sorry that I see my kids every morning since the nightmare started in Gaza and I'm so scared."

One of the people kidnapped with Greta Thunberg is Rima Hassan, a member of the EU Parliament. She's being kept as a prisoner of war now because she won't give her signature approving illegal deportation papers.

Greta Thunberg is being deported after giving the gangsters a meaningless signature. As a member of EU Parliament, Rima Hassan cannot give out meaningless signatures like it's nothing; it would be doing too much to legitimize Israel's crimes.

Will the world do anything about this? The situation is seemingly being ignored. Even Al Jazeera is burying the story right now, when it should be the top headline today. #news #newstr #Gaza #Israel #FreePalestine

The UK has sanctioned two #Israeli far-right ministers over comments they made on Gaza.

Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich will both face a travel ban and have their assets frozen as part of the measures announced by the UK foreign secretary.

Lammy said the ministers had "incited extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights"

The UK MUST now recognise #Palestine

France is expected to do this later on this week

🌟 Exciting News in Digital Freedom! 🌟

Starting next month, Denmark's Minister of Digitization, Caroline Stage, plans to phase out Microsoft and other tech giants' programs within her ministry. This bold move aims to reduce reliance on U.S.-based tech companies and embrace open-source alternatives.

Half of the ministry's employees will transition to a new computer system, replacing Windows with open-source solutions. Specifically, they will adopt LibreOffice, a free and open-source office suite, as an alternative to Microsoft's Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

"I want to take the lead and try it out. When the opportunity presented itself, it would be crazy not to seize it. I am very much looking forward to seeing how it works in practice," says Minister Stage.

This initiative aligns with Denmark's broader strategy to achieve digital sovereignty and reduce dependence on large tech corporations. The goal is for the entire ministry to be free of Microsoft by the fall. However, if the transition faces significant challenges, there is flexibility to revert temporarily.

The push for digital sovereignty is gaining momentum, especially in light of current global dynamics and concerns over data protection. Political parties like the Red-Green Alliance and the Alternative have also voiced support for reducing ties with American tech giants.

Let's celebrate this shift towards freedom, collaboration, and innovation in the tech landscape! 🎉

Dear Fedi friends,

I'm really proud to share with you a video I made: "Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media" news.elenarossini.com/fedivers…

In this 4-minute video I explain what the #fediverse is to people not familiar with it, mentioning some of its great features and benefits (interoperability, no ads, no surveillance...) and I set it in contrast to the world of Big Tech social platforms. I argue that, with the rise of Big Tech oligarchs and the current political climate, there has never been a better time to join the fediverse.

I hope you will enjoy this video and that you will find it useful (maybe as a tool to introduce your friends, family, colleagues, school administrators, local government officials to it).

The fediverse has truly changed my life, making me a better, more empowered digital citizen. I am endlessly grateful for it, so this is my contribution to the cause ❤️

I am also incredibly thankful for the work of @samaaberg and @patel.riyen who helped me bring my vision to life with their amazing cinematography skills and their assistance throughout the process, providing brilliant feedback to the script / edits from the POV of fedi newbies.

And I was also moved by the generous help of people of the Fediverse who volunteered to translate the script into many foreign languages: @jan @fritjof @erikkemp @sknob @severin @clabru @tarcisiosurdi @hongminhee @danielcasanueva @ainali @nacly

Lastly, I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to premiere the video last week at #FediForum - thank you @j12t and @anca

The video is up on my self-hosted PeerTube instance (thank you @yunohost) and for now it is unlisted as I have no idea how my VPS will hold up. I also included an alternate location in the blog post.

I hope you'll enjoy it! It's been a real labor of love (a month of full time work on it)... I see it as my love letter to the fediverse 💌

Edit/update: THANK YOU for all the people who volunteered to have their avatar show up in the last shot. There were 750+ submissions and only 135 spots - sorry I couldn't include everyone 🥲
