Heading home from the launch event of the #CriticalInfraLab in Amsterdam, a new space/group addressing academia, policy advocacy and activism. Very nice to meet lots of people who know that #infrastructure is always socio-technical and who share my love for #SLStar and boring things. And interesting to see that #permacomputing is entering this space.

"loud men talking loudly: exclusionary cultures of internet governance" - new research from @C__CS + critical infrastructure lab on intersecting dynamics of exclusion at Internet Engineering Task Force: https://www.criticalinfralab.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/LoudMen-CorinneCath-CriticalInfraLab.pdf

„We see a disconnect between procedural openness and actual accessibility.“

@C__CS about exclusionary internet governance at #CriticalInfraLab

Not just in #InternetGovernance, I'd like to add.

Mastodon itself is a good example, both as software and as community(-ies).

Interesting to see how seemingly everyone at the #CriticalInfraLab conf understands #digitalSovereignty as referring to national / European digital sovereignty.

As opposed to individual digital sovereignty which isn't even mentioned.

Das #Huawei-Logo durfte ich nicht fotografieren. „People don't like that.“

[en] critical infrastructure lab proposed a 5G infrastructure walk in berlin last year, visiting TU Berlin. There's a podcast retracing the walk and some findings. https://spaceoddity.podigee.io/13-oddity-nr-12-5g-walk note: this podcast is not Bechdel test conform (only guys talking) #criticalInfraLab #5G #podcast #antennas
