🇪🇺 150+ European companies including Nextcloud & Airbus call on the EU for "radical action" to reduce reliance on foreign tech. It’s time to build a sovereign digital infrastructure for Europe’s future! 🚀

Will you join us?

Just one little tweak: Favour European *and other friendly democracies*.

And if we really mean what we talk about, apply credible "trade penalties" on regimes that are dictatorships or worse.

Asking to join is certainly a good idea. But it would help, if you linked the actual letter (one has to go through one of the articles referenced below your blog post).

Dani's Race. My brother got 50 FPS max on Windows and 100+ FPS ( sometimes even as high as 179 FPS ) on Ubuntu. Also the game is a pain in the neck to play on Windows.




Truly my greatest professional joy is that, not only did we get to build a tool to help people stop AI bots from scraping up their work without consent, I was able to have our in-house artist create a SLOP sign to mark the spot where the bots expire.

If you are a non-profit or open source project that does good internet stuff, we’ll protect you for free. If not, then you can pay us money and we will hook you up. Either way, good tools to put you in control over the bots. fastly.com/blog/take-back-cont…




From the first #EarthDay: Students in St. Louis marched wearing masks to protest smog and air pollution.

The inaugural 1970 protests drew millions, and led to the creation of the EPA and clean air standards.

With science under greater attack than ever, we need more of this activism today!



$wife was getting super annoyed at having to smell a neighbor's cigarette smoke every time the window is open

so we've now spun up a wireless laser-scatter particulate sensor tied to outside air (<€30 in parts, thanks to ESPhome ❤ and 6/8mm PVC tubing) which seems to detect within a second of it starting ❤❤❤

New UX models have friction.

The Mach E has a push button door: push the button first, pop the door. It works once "you've read the manual" Two problems:
1. As I approached the car at Avis it was dark, I couldn't see the button at all so couldn't get it, I had to ask someone to let me in.
2. When I picked up my son at the airport, he had no idea how to open the passenger door so I had to open it from the inside.

Ford may keep this, but it's going to be a painful road. #ux

For Earth Day today, I had the honor of remembering Pope Francis on Democracy Now, recalling how first reading his Laudato Si' brought me to tears and how he saw social movements as a site of revelation: democracynow.org/2025/4/22/pop…
in reply to Nathan Schneider

@evan

any chance of getting #DemocracyNow on the fedi? at least an account but maybe a #mastodon server for staff or a #peertube or #owncast site for video...

the great promise of the #SocialWeb imo is that we can address the Chomsky concerns re attention. that the people not money can finally determine what info, ideas and art go viral. seems perfectly in line with the DN mission.

@mondoweiss is blazing the trail for establishing true indy media for the dissident left here.

Cool, but it feels very odd to me that they are using Unreal Engine instead of their own Creation Engine which modders already know how to use very well

i am surprised that it will run on steamdeck, looking at the minimum system requirements.

Are upgrades from 24.10 still disabled? Surprised there was no mention of that given that it's been a rocky release.
