We need more, much more of this. Awareness everywhere.

This 2006 #Wikileaks Diplomatic Cable discusses the Venezuelan government's #opensource law during Chavez's time. wikileaks.org/plusd/cables... Almost twenty years ago, Latin American governments had a clear route and were working towards sovereignty, including digital sovereignty.

Very happy about this. We will also bridge the world of open technology research with the tooling and standards our communities have created to make data and research reproducible and knowledge accessible. #openscience #dataquality

An immediate collective goal should be to take advantage of whatever we can grab for the digital commons after the AI bubble bursts. The imminent crisis coming must not go to waste. Ideas?

Missing the people who have actually advocated for digital commons for decades at the stage of whatever is happening in Berlin.

As industrial operations move to Texas, residents find that their drinking water has been promised to companies. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/s_zeKn

Meanwhile OpenAI plans to open datacenters that will use more energy than the entire country of India and emit more pollution than ExxonMobil

Taiwan faced a drought that caused chipmaker TSMC to compete with local farmers for water. Nvidia’s carbon emissions rose 87% in 2024 alone. Workers face grueling schedules to keep up, and factory emissions are worse for global warming than CO2.

This is a fantastic deep dive with a ton of great info that debunks all the shallow arguments against how AI destroys the environment.

I discovered @penpot.app at Decidim Fest and I am LOVING IT!

Exclusive: Based on documents viewed by this newsletter, OpenAI spent over $12.4 billion on inference from 2024 to September 2025. As part of its Microsoft revenue share, it sent $493.8m in 2024/$865.8m Jan-Sep 2025, implying lower revenues than previously reported. www.wheresyoured.at/oai_docs/

NEW: A group of Senators and Congresspeople are warning Governors that their states are providing ICE “with frictionless, self-service access to the personal data of all of your residents.” The data sharing is managed by a nonprofit called Nlets, which is managed by state police agencies.

New: a judge has ruled that Flock surveillance images are public records that can be requested by anyone. Shows that at least in some cases, police cannot withhold the data collected by its surveillance systems. www.404media.co/judge-rules-...

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

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...

"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

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".
