Europe's unique strengths are in encryption and security. If we look at companies and organizations like Proton, Wire and Threema, we can see that the European innovation is about privacy, data security and trust.

Europe has strong potential to become global superpower regarding these areas. Made in Europe means made with privacy-by-design and security-by-design principles.

Europe can offer the world the most secure, trusted and privacy-oriented solutions. What it needs to do is to embrace this path and recognize its own strengths.

        Linux microblog update:

        I spent some time making Proxmox dance on tht head of a pin (okay, three used Dell Optiplexes) this evening.

        I can't escape the ugly feeling that the reason I'm investing in learning this...is that allies who I previously relied on have been disrespected at and dismissed from organizations I used to love to partner with.

        There's a disruption coming to technology - not due to AI - but due to new lines of trust being built after old easy comfortable ones were torn out to save a few dollars on one quarterly earnings report.

        Wise investments in 2026 will have to figure out where the real trust is, and where it isn't.

                                                                                                                                                      It's false. There's only the illusion of independent agents but each agent is merely a flimsy façade over a massively centralized and corporate-controlled "AI" installation. It's like the agents are all just paper faces pasted over an enormous pipeline, sucking up every bit of the user's personal information and forwarding it to the corporate databanks and their partners in government, and piping confabulated gibberish in the other direction.
