Europe needs to move away from buying American weapons & focus on creating our own.

Europe needs to invest in European AI and social media and stop feeding American tech companies people's data.

Europe needs to stop buying American products & services, and prioritize European.“

@M4RSarK Social media yes, weapons I also recognize as a necessity in a human world, AI (generative) we can just toss a few weapons at.

@M4RSarK Excuse me, but you are at charge at FEE CTU IT ( #cvut ), so why is the only public way (with tracked history) to communicate with our faculty senate over Discord and it is advertised at senate candidates debates, why we will be most likely forced to switch to Microsoft two-factor authentication, e-mail etc. I know that these things are not so simple, but at COVID outbreak, one our admins (Daniel Vecerka) set up BigBlueButton instance on our servers in less that two weeks and final integration with courses schedules from study system database, recording, recording processing etc. is far more advanced then what I have seen in Teams which are pushed to us for communication by top management. Same for the PR department which feeds Twitter/X, YouTube etc. I know that it is hard, but we should have FEDIVERSE at social.cvut.cz, we should have Discourse etc… I use for my projects and subjects Debian/GNU/Linux for decades for decades and no closed tool at all. I contribute to whole world to have alternative for computer architectures teaching on open architecture (RISC-V) with open tools https://comparch.edu.cvut.cz/ and with open lectures sources. My groups of students contributes to open system for control systems and theory education and may be even devices design (pysimCoder), yes it is toy still, but used worldwide and gaining momentum. But at our department it is downplayed and I can expect that in some time there would be no lab with computers and enough Ethernet connections for embedded targets to run the environment directly. I have been forbidden to participate in the discussion about the future of K2, other labs, rooms where I work with my students. So I suggest even to you to approach downstairs from the clouds and global world dreams and solutions and solve manageable problems at reachable level. Discuss with CTU FEE PR, that we should start to have alternative to AI and mighty controlled channels, we should teach students basis which allows them to setup own systems, build own space grade controller (our RTEMS BSP is used by Airbus Defense and Space USA, my former diploma students contributes to ESA CPU desig, so the claim is exaggerated only a little) etc. OpenAlt has moved to local PeerTube instance vhsky.cz. Why am I forced to register and even pay to can check my own lectures on YouTube without advertisements when there is #cesnet which is paid from public money to provide support to Czech universities… and I can continue.
