  • Europe has ‘lost the internet’, warns Belgium’s cyber security chief

  • You could start with going through all the comments on various forums (not just Lemmy) where people have written about user experience (UX) problems and place those issues in a quadrant (easy or difficult to implement vs major or minor impact on the UX). The immediate priority is of course those that are easy to implement with major impact on the UX, meanwhile also picking up some of those with lesser impact on the UX. In a second step you select two-three issues that are major but more difficult to implement. I noted today an article in The Guardian on how Reddit is strongly growing in the UK. So there is a sense of urgency.

  • A visual editor to begin with. There are a lot of posts complaining about the user experience. They have to be analysed in order to create a list of priority interventions. If there is a budget a user experience study with users and potential users would be a good idea.

  • The EU is a “digital colony of the US”. This Italian is trying to change that, with some success.

  • FYI: I posted this also on Reddit where it gathered 1.4k upvotes and lots of comments. Then it was removed without any explanation. 😡

  • No, my background is in user experience. Hence my comment on the interface design.

  • The lack of visual editor arises with the web version on lemmy.world and with the Mlem app. I have not checked anything else. (And I don't see it as my role to start a kickstarter campaign).

  • Yes, but I would like to see a visual editor. Now a bold is shown as a double asterisk. A link is a mixture of square and round brackets. You can click on Preview, but to edit it, you have to leave it again.

  • Along the same lines, this article in the Financial Times today:

    Europe has ‘lost the internet’, warns Belgium’s cyber security chief

    Some quotes below:

    Europe is so far behind the US in digital infrastructure it has “lost the internet”, a top European cyber enforcer has warned.

    Miguel De Bruycker, director of the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB), told the Financial Times that it was “currently impossible” to store data fully in Europe because US companies dominate digital infrastructure.

    “We’ve lost the whole cloud. We have lost the internet, let’s be honest,” De Bruycker said. “If I want my information 100 per cent in the EU . . . keep on dreaming,” he added. “You’re setting an objective that is not realistic.”

    The Belgian official warned that Europe’s cyber defences depended on the co-operation of private companies, most of which are American. “In cyber space, everything is commercial. Everything is privately owned,” he said.

    [...]

    Europe needed to build its own capabilities to strengthen innovation and security, said De Bruycker, adding that legislation such as the EU’s AI Act, which regulates the development of the fast-developing technology, was “blocking” innovation.

    He suggested that EU governments should support private initiatives to build scale in areas such as cloud computing or digital identification technologies.

    It could be similar to when European countries jointly set up the planemaker Airbus, he said: “Everybody was supporting the Airbus initiatives decades ago. We need the same initiative on [an] EU level in the cyber domain.”
