"Les communs numériques nous offrent une occasion unique de soutenir la souveraineté numérique européenne"
Alexandra van Huffelen @avhuffelen ministre du numérique des Pays Bas #PubConf2023 @publicspaces

Et si on peut la suivre sur #Mastodon c'est parce que le gouvernement des Pays-Bas vient d'ouvrir sa propre instance.

Simply one of the best talks I have heard about the race and the future internet. At #pubconf2023

Ruha Benjamin takes us into the world of biased bots, altruistic algorithms, and their many entanglements, and provides conceptual tools to decode tech promises with historical and sociological insight.

She also considers how race itself is a tool designed to stratify and sanctify social injustice and how technology can be used toward liberatory ends.

Do you already follow @publicspaces? I recommend the notification bell, they seldom publish. Except now (one week after #pubconf2023 - where you get a glimpse of the digital public spaces of the future). Once a year all these notifications are a good reminder 1) if you missed the conference, 2) if you couldn't divide yourself into small multiples during the conference or 3) where you can find the videos to share them with your friends you've been hyping about :publicspaces: for a week now! :D

Last weekend I was at the Public Spaces conference #pubconf2023. The closing keynote was really interesting. The speaker, Eli Pariser, made the comparison between real life public spaces and digital spaces.

One fun remark that stood out to me about the difference between a park and social media, is that in a park you usually don't walk up to a stranger to immediately start convincing them of your most controversial political opinion.

The bigger thesis was quite insightful for community building online. And it nicely tied into some other talks from earlier on the day.

Thank you @wtebbens for the invitation to the very inspiring conference @publicspaces For a Collective Internet.

@framaka presented how the french ministry of education supports the development of digital commons during a round table entitled "Value-driven Education: Free from Big Tech".

An appointment for the future on a European scale.

Looking back on 3 fantastic days at #pubconf2023 in Amsterdam. My highlight was the video message from 🇳🇱 Minister for Digitization Alexandra van Huffelen for the session on building digital commons.

She stressed the importance of investing in digital commons for Europe's digital sovereignty & the need for a public digital infrastructure fund. In the session that followed, this conviction was echoed by representatives from 🇫🇷, 🇩🇪, so there is a real opportunity to make this happen here and now.

De techwereld jaagt de gewone burger soms de stuipen op het lijf.

Kan het anders? Bij organisaties met een publieke taak wordt achter de schermen heel wat werk verzet om het internet en de digitale infrastructuur meer van en voor die burger te maken.

Ik heb de afgelopen dagen op de PublicSpaces-conferentie veel gezien en gehoord over hoopvolle en inspirerende ontwikkelingen. Zoals PubHubs, de Fediverse en in Vlaanderen publiq .

Dat mag best in de krant, @laurensvhg
