Join me in Auckland on April 10 where I’ll be talking about countering the Trump threat and escaping the dominance Silicon Valley has over our lives.

Now more than ever, we need digital sovereignty — and we’ll need to work together to build it.

Digital Sovereignty in a Time of Rising Fascism

The United States is collapsing into an authoritarian state controlled by tech billionaires that is intent on waging economic warfare against its former allies — yet the digital technology we rely on every day for school, our businesses, and even our national security remains tightly coupled to it.

How can we start the process of decoupling? What do data and digital sovereignty look like when the United States is no longer a trustworthy ally? And how can we work internationally to protect our shared interests?

Come join Paris Marx and a panel of guests to explore these questions and start considering an alternative approach.

Well, published the notes from the conference I went to last month in Christchurch.

If you're interested in OSS in Aotearoa, especially in the sciences, take a look? Not perfect, but a good start I think.

Thanks to all of the contributors who helped. @jduckles, looking at you.

ZenodoeResearch NZ / eRangahau Aotearoa – The Case for Open Source in the Science System of AotearoaAt the 2025 eResearch NZ / eRangahau Aotearoa conference in Christchurch, Jonah Duckles and Richard Littauer held a birds-of-a-feather (BoF) workshop on “The Case for Open Source in Aotearoa (a continuing conversation)”. This was a follow-up to the BoF at the eResearch NZ 2024 conference. The format was a one-hour discussion. Participants passed the mic around, and discussed: (1) The barriers to open source adoption in Aotearoa New Zealand; (2) The opportunities for future growth; and (3) The immediate things a researcher can do to support Open Source Software (OSS) in New Zealand. Here, we share the main points that were covered in this discussion.

Somewhere in the Middle-Earth, I mean New Zealand. The peach colour and how it barely touches the peak is my favourite thing about this photo.

distant mountain peaks during the sunset. The sunset is peach colour with streaks along the sky. The peaks are layered and one in the middle has some snow barely touched by the peach colour.

Racism in #Aotearoa, as relayed on Reddit. Unfortunately Iʼm no longer allowed to comment in the #NZ subreddit, oddly.

Good thing I've been hanging on to my old tower! (2008 Mac Pro I used until last year)

Album by Aspen, 1998. Yes it's called Album.

The album named "Album" by the electronic musician Aspen sits in an open CD tray in an old Mac Tower. There's a keyboard precariously perched on top and a mouse on the floor. There's wires all over the place because I'm a mess.
