Kids who start to learn programming should get to know the concept of #freesoftware and its big opportunities.

These aspects are dealt with in the book „Ada & Zangemann“ (FSFE/O’Reilly).

Now the Free Software Foundation Europe has initiated a project to bring the story of this children’s book to life in an animated movie:

Sure we are project sponsors, as all software that we develop or maintain for our customers is published as #freesoftware.

Thank you so much for your support for the movie, and in general for over a decade of support for the @fsfe ! This is highly appreciated!

French European Commissioner Thierry Breton resigns, attacks von der Leyen for ‘questionable governance’ - politico.eu/article/frances-co… never a dull moment these days... #eu

‘Data centre emissions likely 662% higher than big tech claims. Can it keep up the ruse?’

But never mind. Once we’ve shifted the rest of our reality into the cloud, we won’t be needing the real world, will we. Will we?

Commissioner Thierry #Breton has resigned from the @EUCommission and will not run again. Sounds like he is pretty pissed.

I am very curious to see where that will leave #DSA and #DMA enforcement. 😬

in reply to Aral Balkan

@aral It's a tough question, Breton has indeed been a mixed bag:

He has pushed for competitiveness over competition (e.g. in telcos) and digital sovereignty for him mostly seemed to mean building a European Google.

But on the positive side, he has also supported swift enforcement of the DSA & DMA and has never seemed scared by the powers one faces when taking on big tech firms.

in reply to Jan Penfrat

Hmm, based on that, I wonder how much of it was him protecting the interests of EU Telcos against those of Silicon Valley Big Tech.

I mean, I already have very low expectations when it comes to the EU Commission :)



i find People Also Ask to be an absolutely fascinating window into the minds of Normal™ people

Yeah, it's very strange
Though I'm never sure these days if these truly are things people also ask and/or to what extent the search engines or llms mess with the content and frequencies.


what does Elon Musk do while his companies take on Government contracts?

He tweets dangerous, irresponsible, idiotic and incendiary suggestions that assassination attempts on Donald Trump are orchestrated by the President and Vice President of the United States.

Make no mistake, that’s what Musk is suggesting.

On my way to football with Emily yesterday we saw this graffiti in the city centre. A reminder of how dangerous transphobia is to our children, to never forget Brianna and how lucky I am to have my daughter happy, healthy and thriving. #transkidsdeservetothrive

Realise that this isn't a failure of policy or something "going wrong" in the immigration system. In 2019 an envoy from the UN determined that this result was intentional and that the UK enacted "systematic immiseration" and "destitution by design" on folk like this.
