An incredible few days at #MozFest in #Barcelona 🤯
As an immigrant who works mostly from home, I truly cherished the opportunity to engage IRL with the #Mozilla community.
I leave challenged yet inspired, & also with hope for the future that together we will reimagine and, collectively, reclaim.

Objection to #MetaAI = honoured.
What value do I get from this as a user? Same number of ads, same level of tracking -- this latest update means you are only one data scrape away from losing control over your online identity. A bad deal for EU consumers.
What is the @ec.europa.eu doing about it?

Sorry, I won't be hoping on the #AI #ActionFigure trend.
Sure, if someone want to find a photo of me, that's easy enough. But I'm not particularly fond of uploading a photo of myself to #ChatGPT.
Apparently this was started by a 🇵🇹 politician, but I bet #OpenAI are loving all this free image data.

This week, I’ve been in #Luxembourg along w/ technical experts, policy makers & other practitioners in the field of #opendata @ #EUOpenDataDays2025 discussing the role, impact, & importance of open data across multiple sectors.
