The EU's current #deregulation agenda resembles nothing we have seen before, in terms of scope, level of ambition, speed and degree of corporate capture 🚨 New must-read report presents the workings of the deeply undemocratic #deregulationmachine that Commission President von der Leyen has built ⬇️

Timeless new track by Todd Terry and by timeless I mean early 90s house, so good tidal.com/track/502021...

#ECJ: National legislation which does not allow a citizen who has exercised their right to free movement to change their gender data are contrary to #EUlaw 🇧🇬 #transgender 👉 curia.europa.eu/site/upload/...

As I'm writing analysis and drawing on a wide range of existing work and adding my own thoughts, this piece aimed at academic writing rings true and motivates me to think directly on the page... patthomson.net/2026/03/08/g...

@robin.berjon.com co-founder of Eurosky is testifying in the French Parliament today - watch live 👇

This is ecosystem thinking. Build infrastructure to distribute power not consolidate it.

To celebrate the launch of the @npmx.dev alpha, I wrote up a guide on how to make your first contribution to an open-source project. Let me know if this helps you make your first contribution (and it doesn't have to be code)!

Had a Disney lawyers moment today

Just posted my latest EuroStack newsletter: platformable.beehiiv.com/p/digital-so...

One of airtable's suggested prompts for using their AI is "Generate brainstorm ideas for our fall activewear campaign". Generate brainstorm? Also, if you are in marketing isn't that the part of your job you *want* to do?

After PEPFAR funding was cancelled I looked for EU health groups I could join to advocate for replacement funding to ensure we keep pace with ending the global AIDS epidemic. I didnt have any luck so i volunteer directly with a human & sexual rights ngo in Nigeria. The issues they face are: ... 1/3

I'm gonna write something up about this a bit more, but i submitted a response to the European Commission's open digital ecosystems consultation last night: drive.google.com/file/d/1W2fy...

As Amazon announced 16,000 layoffs today, worker representatives and MEPs blasted Amazon management for undermining worker health and democracy at work during a European Parliament hearing on working conditions in its warehouses.

Anyone else reading Some Desperate Glory or read it recently? By @emilytesh.net So good! Halfway through at the moment but the emerging deradicalisation plotline is fascinating and keeping me up at night reading. And love the queer characters of course.

For anyone interested, here are the tracks I've been listening to this month: tidal.com/playlist/ce2...

if you’re passionate about AI accountability research and enjoy working in a vibrant lab with a multi-disciplinary team but not interested in doing traditional academic work, this position might be for you

Why isnt this data used in the constant “EU needs to be more competitive” policy arguments? Why isnt this all factored into the so-called competitiveness agenda?

I do appreciate what i think is @mozilla.org's work in providing an option when right clicking for links: offering a "clean link" copy that removes everything after the ? So much easier to share links without having to manually remove campaign tracking parameters each time

Over on LinkedIn people are AI meme-ing their way through the threat of the Greenland invasion. Here I am getting hopeful that Europe is finally saying "enough", (they should have done that after EU digital regulation threats & commissioner sanctions but now is a good time too)

I've enjoyed reading the GTM analysis and deep dives that Kyle Poyar does, so super happy to see he has shifted to @beehiiv.com now, and i can share his work here. His latest newsletter discusses creator support at beehiv and his creator economy operating model www.growthunhinged.com/p/new-unhing...

Petition for a new term: AI gunk. Meaning: the additional infra and workarounds that cause products that used to work fine now feel jammed up or slower cos there is AI gunk in the system, even if its not being used in whatever you are trying to do. Oh also why is LinkedIn down at the moment?

My line of the day is "API governance supports entelechy not entropy." I am my own writing audience.

My EuroStack Potential newsletter is changing it's focus: now I am focusing on what it's like for a digital small business/startup (like mine) to operationalise the EuroStack ideals: platformable.beehiiv.com/p/the-eurost...

"Hope is a discipline. It requires that you not give in to despair." - Doctorow on the EuroStack potential and more: pluralistic.net/2026/01/01/3...

In 2025, i started the #EuroStack potential newsletter, but i couldn't find the right angle i wanted to focus on. I am superproud of the piece on using EuroStack for decolonisation: you can't show you are worried about EU being a digital colony without addressing Europe's colonisation legacy 1/4

Last week i shared how it was hard to #EuroStack when open source providers (including European) use AWS servers for their online cloud. I love what @openproject.bsky.social are doing: They have two options for cloud hosting, ok yes an AWS option but also the French cloud provider @scaleway.com

We are looking for an European 🇪🇺 alternative to replace OpsGenie / PagerDuty; could you please share some love with us ? #cloud #sovereignty

"Let's be bold, ambitious and creative!" @diegonaranjo.bsky.social shares a plan for 2026: www.linkedin.com/pulse/2026-y...

We've mapped the #agrifood ecosystem. We want to help players identify how data flows, how to align with standards & regulations, who to partner with, & how to calculate impacts on society, local economies & the environment. Anyone want to test this out? platformable.com/blog/agrifoo...

We're hiring a postdoc to identify, map and evaluate commercially used age verification systems Closing Date: 16 January 2026 Apply here: aial.ie/hiring/postd...

Im a big policy nerd, but with #EuroStack i want to bring it down a level and hear more discussions about practicalities, partly as a small business that wants to live the principles of digital sovereignty and partly as a European citizen (ok permanent resident). 1/2

Excellent thread to counteract the "competitiveness" agenda as a necessity for EU. As I've said, it doesn't factor in universal healthcare, wage theft and huge inequities, education costs, or that the top companies include meta and other unethical highly ranked enterprises

Hey I'm gonna be in Paris all of next week if anyone is there and wants to talk digital ecosystems with me?!

If anyone needs help transferring their playlists to tidal or another service let me know!

Each of these remixes is a banger in its own right: tidal.com/browse/album...

Viktor Orban is currently having a coronary.

So proud of my niece Iolanthe in the latest Orville Peck video youtu.be/R5BzsIY1FHk?... Great track, rivaling my recent fave “permanently lonely”

Still thinking about how @coricrider.com said its not so much “walled gardens” as “cock fighting cages” at #MozFest last week

Its out: as amazing as i had hoped. tidal.com/browse/album...

Celeste’s new album comes out tomorrow. Here’s a demo from it that got me so excited: tidal.com/browse/track...

I'm starting to plan my trip to Paris for 8-13 December. Anyone want to meet up and talk open digital ecosystems while i am there?

Read @robin.berjon.com on cloud infrastructure Europe must embrace a “break-and-build” strategy: “break” entrenched monopolies and “build” its own digital infrastructure and addressing on a sector-by-sector basis @projectsyndicate.bsky.social prosyn.org/5baiDt6?refe...

Amazing work by @francescabria.bsky.social and team www.authoritarian-stack.info

Unlearning data collection by looking at new citizen generated data models at #mozfest with Datalabe

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Hearing @ruha9.bsky.social today set me up for the rest of the year and for 2026, to be building and supporting alternatives that help us all jump from the current cycle’s endgame to a new world we are all welcome to participate and create in.

We’ve just launched our Global Digital Health Policy Dashboard, aiming to become an ecosystem view of digital health in each country. Have a look at our beta release and let us know what you think: platformable.com/blog/global-...
