Thursday, the EU launched a European Digital Infrastructure Consortium for Digital Commons. During this launch, EU & national authorities were *crystal clear* on how large our digital autonomy challenges are in the Trump era. I delivered a keynote in which I outlined how dependent we are technically and culturally on US big tech, and I offered some modest advice: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/keynote-opening-digital-commons-edic-eu/
@bert_hubert Thank you again for being there, we all enjoyed your speech! I'm glad that you found it encouraging.
Btw this part made me chuckle 😂:
"But this escalation continued. So I went to the Dutch king, and I told him it was no good. And you can tell he’s the king, because all of us have a nametag. But he doesn’t. He’s the king."
@Gina very happy to have been there and honored that I got to speak as well!
@wouter The quality of the recording is terrible as the original presentation was marred by some tech challenges. Working on improving this for any new talks I do.
I have "some" experience working with video (1). Want me to help clean it up?

@wouter there is only audio and it is terrible, not sure if this is worth your time!
Depending on what the issues with the audio are, cleaning up can be doable and may be surprisingly effective.
I'm still offering, but don't want to pressure you, so if you're uncomfortable sharing the recording, no worries.
