A lot of people don’t consider it trash, more like a contaminated meal.

PixelUnion originates from the Netherlands as well, i guess that’s why they felt like writing about it. The relevancy is there, but i agree the writer didn’t really achieve to convey that.

The cabinet decided to block the takeover of Solvinity the company that manages the infrastructure behind DigiD by the American IT company Kyndryl.

The cabinet is getting waaay to much credit here, they initially wanted to go through with the deal. It wasn’t until major public backlash, multiple experts putting their jobs on the line by going on television saying how bad an idea this was and an official committee strongly advising against it that cabinet changed their mind and chose to block the takeover. They were sitting their pants because of how the US would respond. Had they acted earlier, this could’ve gone much smoother: they could’ve just ended the contract at the company that’s being taken over, move the data to another company that isn’t being taken over. Or even better, they could have ordered to move the infrastructure in-house instead of having some commercial party handle the security of the population it’s most sensitive data.

AI overviews should be opt-in, not opt-out

I have found them useful from time to time, i turned them off because I know where to find the switch button and for environmental reasons it would be way better to force this on everyone - but knowing a lot of people might not find this button, or even look for it, i could also see how some users might be lured (back) to the big tech alternative.

Also for us a box where you type in a search query is different as a box where you start a conversation, but i think this difference will only grow smaller - just like how desktop web pages changed appearance because of mobile-first design. Not saying you have to like it of course, but i can see the business decision here choosing growth over principles. Them getting a bigger market share is, imo, more important than them having a small carbon footprint.

Introductory paragraph:

Since 1994, Infomaniak has followed the same path: privacy, environmental responsibility, and local roots. Thirty-two years on, these commitments are no longer just promises. On 13 May 2026, our founder Boris Siegenthaler transferred the majority of Infomaniak’s voting rights to a Swiss public-interest foundation: the Infomaniak Foundation. An irrevocable move, rare in Europe, that places the company beyond the reach of any takeover and sets its DNA in stone. For you, our customers, this means one thing: your cloud will remain Swiss, independent, and true to its values. Forever.
