@Wtebbens The 'Software Sovereignty Scale' is a vital lens. If sovereignty is a spectrum, then corporate 'Open Source' (OSI) is often just a lease, not ownership. We need to move from 'Sovereign Consumption' to 'Sovereign Governance'—where the end-user holds a stake in the infrastructure itself. How do we build 'CoopCloud' protocols that are as metabolically resilient as they are legally open? #DigitalSovereignty #CoopCloud #Governance #DigitalCommons #ReVolt
In the discussion about #digitalsovereignty there is an interesting cry for #BuyEuropean, but many of us doubt that that is enough. In software, you (or your organisation or country) being "sovereign" or in control does ultimately not only - or so much - depend on where the HQ of the tech company are located.
@dries, the founder of Drupal, presents an interesting scale for digital sovereignty.
The software license is an important part. Not the only one of course. We'd also think of the maturity of the developer community. And, as an enduser, one's control over or stake in the service provider (in case you need one).

Today in Labor History January 24, 1835: Slaves in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, started a revolt, which helped lead to the end slavery there 50 years later. Muslim slaves and freedmen, inspired by Muslim teachers, launched the rebellion during Ramadan. They were also inspired by the Haitian Revolution (1791−1804) and wore necklaces bearing the image of President Dessalines, who had declared Haitian independence.

Today in Labor History January 19, 1932: A General Strike turned into an anarchist insurrection in Alt Llobregat, near Barcelona, Spain. Armed miners and textile workers, members of the CNT, declared "Libertarian communism," including the abolition of money and property. The revolt quickly spread to other nearby towns. They cut telephone lines and replaced Republican flags with the red and black CNT flags. By January 27, the authorities had quashed the rebellion. They deported hundreds of rebels to African colonies. The detainees included Buenaventura Durruti, who would later lead the Durruti Column of anarchist soldiers against the fascist armies of Francisco Franco.

‚Nach tagelangen Protesten der Bevölkerung gegen das Regime haben iranische Behörden augenscheinlich damit begonnen, das Internet in der Hauptstadt Teheran und weiteren Teilen des Landes zu blockieren. Das berichtet die Organisation Netblocks, die den Netzverkehr und mögliche Sperren weltweit beobachtet. Auch andere öffentlich einsehbare Datenquellen zeigen Verbindungsverluste in die Islamische Republik, die seit Tagen von immer heftiger werdenden Protesten gegen das herrschende Regime erschüttert wird.
Netblocks meint, dass die Internetsperre die Berichterstattung aus dem Land und die Kommunikation dort erheblich erschweren dürfte. Es ist zu befürchten, dass die Machthabenden den digitalen Blackout dazu benutzen, noch härter gegen die Demonstrationen vorzugehen.‘

Totaler Internet-Blackout: Sorge vor staatlicher Gewalt gegen Proteste im Iran
Die iranische Führung in Teheran schneidet die Bevölkerung von der Außenwelt ab und stellt einen harten Kurs gegen die landesweiten Proteste in Aussicht…..

Today in Labor History December 25, 1831: The Great Jamaican Slave Revolt, the largest slave uprising in the British West Indies, began on this date. Samuel Sharpe, a black Baptist deacon, led the revolt of 60,000 enslaved people. The 11-day uprising began as a General Strike, but quickly turned violent. 14 whites and 207 enslaved black people died in the siege. However, another 340 rebels were executed afterward. The rebels had been inspired by the abolitionist movement in London and had intended to call for a peaceful uprising. The rebellion was depicted in Andrea Levy's 2010 novel, “The Long Song,” and in Herbert de Lisser’s The 1929 novel “The White Witch of Rosehall.”

Tonight, I uninstalled Discord from my system. In its place, I am going to try Revolt. I already use Signal for a small number of contacts but don't expect everyone to move to it.
My reasoning is because I have been concerned for a long time about Discord's business practices. They are trying to jam in ads and monetization wherever they can. Not only is the software proprietary, it is essentially spyware.

Today in Labor History July 4, 1840: The anti-rent association of Berne in the Hudson Valley issued its Declaration of Independence, starting the Anti-Rent War, which lasted until August 1845. Also known as the Helderberg War, the anti-rent war was a tenants' revolt in upstate New York against the patroons, who acted as feudal lords with the right to make laws. The first meeting of the Anti-Rent tenant farmers was held in Berne, New York on July 4, 1839. Leaders of the revolt were tried for riot, conspiracy and robbery in 1845. The first trial resulted in no convictions. A re-trial in September 1845 saw a fist-fight between the attorneys who were sentenced to solitary confinement for 24 hours. One defendant, Smith A. Boughton, was sentenced to life imprisonment, but was pardoned by the pro-Anti-Renter John Young.
