Dutch bank ABN Amro (one of the big 3) is at risk of being hit by US sanctions, because of services it provides to the ICC.

Worst case scenario ABN AMRO would be excluded from the international banking system, which would be the "corporate death penalty" and has already caused another bank, the Amsterdam Trade Bank, to go under.

We're at the final talk of the Decentralized and Federated track at @oscl

Our amazing @_elena talks about the state of social media, her Fediverse experience, and the importance of moving EU public institutions towards ethical, decentralized platforms. 🔥🔥

@Floppy @dansup ooh smart, I'll look into that.

Time to hand in my gov work laptop 🥲

Hurray I am even older today 🎂🎉 #birthday

Sweden is also choosing @forgejo for their digitally sovereign government codeplatform, just like the Dutch code.overheid.nl 🥳🥳

This is a nice step towards less dependence on US big tech, aka Github.

In my last days at the @BZKopensource I hope to set up a working group with other EU governments, to work towards a federated network of codeplatforms 🇪🇺

Ah so my dream has a name. #solarpunk

@Infoseepage no I WISH 😭😭 I'm at Biarritz airport, also teeny tiny but for some reason no chickens.

I mean, if Rarotonga airport allows chickens in its lounge, surely European airports can too.

I don't often think of running for EU parliament, but when I do, it's at an airport.

I really hope that @joinloops will become a good alternative some day.

Just thinking of how fun Rednote was when everyone fled there from TikTok. I miss my Chinese spy.

@aral @koen_hufkens @oscl @_elena @paolo could be interesting!

@koen_hufkens @aral @oscl @_elena @paolo hi there is some budget to compensate for travel and accommodation costs, just let us know in the application. 😊

Reminder: 8 days left to submit talks! 🚀
