Digital sovereignty requires .

What matters is not whether software is developed or sold by European vendors, but whether all users are allowed to use, study, share, and improve it. A stack is sovereign only if it is 100% , guaranteeing data sovereignty, the ability to adapt and switch providers, and full transparency.

"Open" LLM models are almost never Open Source.

They are "Open Weights." This means the company allows you to run the model, but you have no right to see how it was made or what data it was trained on.

We need to stop letting companies redefine "Open Source" to mean "available for download." Words have meanings.

If a company claims they are open source but plans to "someday" release the code, or hides the training data, they are a poser. This is "Open Washing." They are co-opting the term to earn the community's goodwill for marketing without actually respecting the four freedoms.

500 Millionen Euro? Ob es da nicht ein bisschen Einsparpotenzial gibt?

Die digitale Abhängigkeit des deutschen Staates von einem einzelnen Tech-Giganten nimmt besorgniserregende Ausmaße an: Fast 500 Millionen Euro hat die Bundesverwaltung allein im Jahr 2025 für Microsoft-Lizenzen ausgegeben! 😱

Points for anyone who can guess what it was supposed to do
