Mooi werk van NRC - een eigen fediverse instance. Best een stap voor een (media) bedrijf. Je kan de aandacht niet meer sturen en er is geen centrale plek waar ‘impressies’ en andere marketing metrics worden bijgehouden. Maar goed, het gaat er uiteindelijk om dat u de krant leest. Even klikken […]

Today I am in The Hague.
#Cyber month kicked of and the excellent protect.ngo organized a conference on “Building a cybersecurity blueprint for civil society in The Hague”
