The EU has 3 choices: accept staying behind forever, negotiate access, or build its own frontier-model ecosystem. 1 it is not acceptable. 2 we tried, rules keep changing, we remain exposed. 3 requires effort and time and the only path towards true autonomy. www.anthropic.com/news/fable-m...

Do you remember the surprise announcement of a new social network in Davos, promising to be the "first" European social network? Its name is #WSocial and it's a fork of #Bluesky. It will require a government ID to set up an account. I wrote about it here: blog.elenarossini.com/w-social-unc...

SCOOP: In early June the European Commission unveiled its Tech Sovereignty Plan, which emphasized their commitment to #OpenSource. Just recently, they migrated their main ATproto accounts to #WSocial, a for-profit network that has quietly gone closed-source. blog.elenarossini.com/w-social-pub...

The EU is taking welcome steps to promote European tech infrastructure but it is still beholden to Silicon Valley's vision of the future, in which AI deployment is an end in itself that trumps all other societal objectives. My latest @theguardian.com piece. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🚌 I cannot believe that in 2026 there is no direct bus service from Galway to Shannon Airport. The 1h15m X51 Expressway service ceased before winter of 2025 and has not returned. To DUB (212 km), it takes 2h30m. To SNN (94 km), it takes 1h44m, if you're lucky with the 10 intermediary stops.
