The Digital Omnibus is a huge turd of a proposal.

This from @kashhill is absolutely great journalism, a stark portrait of what our lives have become.

An absolute read.

When the "AI" (LLM) ship of fools sinks, we the people will have to pay up for the mess, 2008 style.
So, all the journos, professors, scientists, researchers, visionaires, "godfather" s, investors and CEOs and founders who sang in the chorus *must be sunk with the ship*.
Not because they should have known better, but because they obviously knew and chose to betray their duty and follow the con money.
They have forever lost any right to be looked up to or listened to.

Israel's attack on Iran is a international crime, designed to distract from the #genocide in #gaza .

I think that Microsoft suspending a non-US contract because of a US executive order is absolute public proof that subsidiaries of US companies are simply foreing agents, pure and simple.

EU institutions, community and national, must sever any critical links with US providers. This is DORA-level emergency, only continent-wide.

It seems I cannot *delete* an account from my #fedilab client. Which is a pity because the software is so good I have been having a standing yearly donation. This is a big no-no for me, immediately downloaded a different client 😭
