Deregulation would give corporate actors more power than ever. Joint statement: Uphold EU laws that rightly give all people control over their sensitive information www.amnesty.eu/news/eu-must...
The EU must uphold hard-won protections for digital human rights
What is being presented as a “technical streamlining” of EU digital laws is, in reality, an attempt to covertly dismantle Europe's strongest protections against digital threats.

Chaos at RFK Jr.’s vaccine committee is no accident.

Stacking the panel with conspiracy theorists undermines science and endangers kids.

Public health policy should be based on evidence—not ideology.

There’s always a “major problem” — wherever you are and whatever you do, there will always be something that annoys you more than anything else. Even if it’s a place that looks like some kind of mythical paradise :)

I've drawn the trip I recently made using nice EU-made maps Mapy.com and goofy Paint Online (BTW there are better web editors to do it, e.g. #photopea)

The future of digital products could be “choose your flavor of Google”—since Google’s software is embedded in both Google and non-Google products (including Firefox and Apple). The EU must take stronger action against Big Tech’s monopolistic dominance.

The topic of regulating tech giants is incredibly important. Google recently won antitrust case in US (related to selling Chrome etc). I don’t believe Chrome would disappear if separated from Google—it would only experience temporary slowdown due to reorganization.

Apps like Bluesky and Mastodon promise more control, like custom feeds, algorithms, and even subscribing to others’ moderation rules.

But as @noupside.bsky.social tells @rabble.nz, most people want “stupid simple” with familiar feeds and centralized moderation like X.

Full episode out.

#WHY2025 is a very large hackers' (IT) festival where so many buildings (not simple tents) etc. are built just for 5 days of the festival. There are so many small "tractors" and other technics around here.
