Cloud and DevOps InfoQ Trends Report 2025

Mi történik, amikor két biológus informatikai témákról kezd beszélgetni? Az impakták legújabb epizódjában Varga Máté (gyakorló biológus) és Hraskó Gábor (egykori biológus, jelenlegi IT szakértő, a Szkeptikus Társaság korábbi elnöke) pontosan ezt teszik, és egy olyan téma kapcsán, ami mindenkit érint: a digitális szuverenitás kérdéskörét járják körbe és azt, hogy miképp veszítettük el a kontrollt a saját online életünk felett. 
Köszönjük a zenét Tövisházi Ambrusnak, a felhasznált borítókép Paulo Cirio “Sociality” projektjéből (https://sociality.today) származik. A beszélgetőpartnerek Mastodon fiókjai: @ghrasko@mastodon.social és @mvargam@mstdn.science.
