If Municipalities were adopting a commons-based stack for their functions, it would not only be twice as cheap. This could result in a 50–70% lower carbon footprint for a shared, open digital commons stack. And more accountability!

De los mismos que creían que las cámaras de vigilancia resolverían el problema de la seguridad ciudadana, ahora en #Guatemala viene cómo la IA va a resolver la calidad de los maestros de primaria.

Mazón dimite sin dignidad. Lo hace a pesar de la infame lógica partidista y solo gracias a la lucha y dignidad de las víctimas y del pueblo valenciano. Gracias a toda la gente que ha luchado para obligarlo a dimitir y que no le quedara otro remedio. #MazonDimision

"There are many challenges to transforming the AI ecosystem and strong interests resisting change. But we know change is possible, and we believe we have more allies in this effort than it may seem. There is a rebel in every Death Star." 🗣️ @b-cavello.bsky.social in our #4DCongress

Our @okfn.bsky.social statement reacting to the DC-EDIC announcement blog.okfn.org/2025/10/30/w... #digitalcommons

The future of tech is commons-based, open by design & built with people at its heart. With #DCEDIC, Europe leads a new way, creating digital infrastructure that others can adapt, reuse & grow globally. This is our @okfn.bsky.social vision in action. digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/comm...

Very worried about the movements in Latin America, a generally peaceful region for a while, towards a senseless war on a noun, with the not-so-hidden motives of "restoring a version of democracy" by drones, extrajudicial executions, grabbing of whatever resources are left, and splitting a region.

The private detention centers ICE contracts with to hold thousands of people — including journalists it arrests — shouldn’t be off-limits to FOIA requests. Use our action center to tell your member of Congress: FOIA should apply to private facilities.

Just as it's important to set boundaries in your daily life, the same can be true for your digital identity. #OptOutOctober www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

An early look at next week’s cover: "Remote Control,” by Barry Blitt. nyer.cm/6ApBXER

"Oxford becomes first UK university to offer ChatGPT Edu to all staff and students" - imagining a lot of staff there pretty upset about, but also it says much about OpenAI's education strategy that it's targeted Oxford as its first institutional capture in the UK www.ox.ac.uk/news/2025-09...

the Huxley bot at World Press Freedom Day: they talked about the importance of science fiction, then instead of inviting a real writer with real opinions to speak, put up a puppet that "said" nothing meaningful at all. It is next level falsity. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

something which is not a person, and does not have feelings or intelligence, being designed visually in an aspirational, rich- and status-coded way and programmed to say it is hurt, while ACTUAL HUMAN BEINGS who don't look or speak nicely are not treated as human. COMEMIERDERÍA

Nós avisámos. E era previsível. Em 2021/22, criticámos o sistema em que o Estado mantinha a propriedade dos PCs da Escola Digital. PCs de baixa gama, que pouco duram, e escolas sem meios para reparação. 2025: «Centenas de computadores "encostados" à espera de arranjo» observador.pt/especiais/es...

Sadly, the corporate capture is everywhere. Not only aviation. Policies are often dictated or heavily influenced by Big Tech/Cloud Giants. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

ODEIO esse papo de não pode "politizar" isto ou aquilo. DADOS SÃO POLÍTICOS! o que não se pode é DISTORCER os dados deliberadamente! a tara da objetividade que iguala "político" a "partidário" e a "desonesto" é um perigo! é ela que faz um LLM fuleiro como o chatGPT ser visto como "inteligente".

Loving the Metagov/PublicAI community. Refreshing.

Experiment over. I closed my Instagram account after trying it for a few months. The app is plagued with disinformation, a terrible vehicle for accessing news or forming meaningful connections. (On top of all the privacy and security concerns).

Revealed: over the last year, #IDF soldiers have come to the beautiful #Italian region of #Marche disguised as tourists and protected by the special unit of the #ItalianPolice #DIGOS, for "psychological decompression" Here is our investigation [Italian] www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/in-edicola/a...

New, by me: A security researcher has found and mapped over 1,300+ publicly exposed TeslaMate servers, which Tesla owners self-host to view and analyze their vehicle's data. The exposed dashboards are spilling sensitive data about their Teslas, including their granular location histories.
