We're kicking off season 2 of the NGI Zero podcast with Armijn Hemel of DeviceCode. The electronics industry works differently than most people think. Behind the different brands and casings is often the same hardware, created by a single factory.
But security issue disclosure focuses on single devices, so vulnerabilities in similar devices go unnoticed.
DeviceCode uncovers the hidden patterns of the electronics industry to improve security.

The NGI Outreach Office is at the High-Level Conference on the Governance of #Web4.0 & #VirtualWorlds, hosted by the European Commission and the 2025 Polish Presidency of the Council of the EU.

Building the future Internet means shaping it around openness, interoperability & fundamental rights. A multistakeholder model is essential to ensure a digital space that works for everyone, everywhere.

#NLnet #EU #NGI #NGIzero – Will We Get It Right This Time? https://hamishcampbell.com/nlnet-eu-ngi-ngizero-will-we-get-it-right-this-time/ let’s ask again: Has #NLnet and the #EU stepped up this time? Are we funding the future, or are we just shuffling papers while the #deathcult eats our humanistic heritage and the last remains of the #openweb?

Do you know the Next Generation Internet #PeerTube's instance which is managed by the #NGI Outreach office for the European Commission?

#NLnet #EU #NGI #NGIzero With the hard shift to the right in USA tech, we need to balance this, we can't keep being "nurtural" we never were, let's try to be the balance this time please with funding flows.

Have spent a lot of time over the last 5 years applying for funding for native #openweb projects, the problem seams to be that at #NLnet and the wider #EU they don't have anyone who is competent to judge #FOSS projects in this area https://hamishcampbell.com my question for this round, is, has this changed?
