# 2026-04-26 - [[Zettled]]: - [[Digital dependency is the opposite of digital sovereignty]]. - [[The US uses digital dependency as a weapon in trade negotiations]]. - [[The US constitutes most of Big Tech]]. - [[The public sector should be the first arena we push for sovereign tech alternatives]]. - I'm finding doing Zettelkasten-y things, particulary as outlined in [[A System for Writing]], very useful. - And, most importantly, resulting in me publishing more writing (see [[my blog posts]]). - I do have a slight concern at the back of my mind that it's making my digital garden less interesting to navigate around for an external party. I think there's something to be said for dishevelled narrative over tidy structure. - The idea though is that the narrative moves to the blog posts, so, as long as they are discoverable, hopefully it's a net gain. - Will keep it in mind.
