    @JulianOliver @nobody I started in September so I've already witnessed it!

    However the worst for me has been the aggressive digitalisation. Everything needs an app and everything needs a smartphone (which I don't have anymore!)...and not just in Aalto but the rest of Espoo and Helsinki too.

    It would be incredible to get away from the Google and Microsoft infrastructure at Aalto, although it's massive on a scale I'm not used to at all. In Belgium art schools are separate entities from universities so everything felt much smaller and more convivial in a way.

    As for the initiative (Ry or not): definitely the latter, I'm more familiar with informal organising :)

    @nobody @ghostsnwitches Sad to see some countries become vassal states of the US, infrastructurally speaking. My own country is in that list. A Google account for almost every child, from the moment they start school.

    The US would never accept the same, for its citizens, nor public sector.

    We have to turn the tide. It starts with organising a front of resistance (as you are Horia) and, where needed, building up alternatives ourselves.
