I want to remind everyone that the US has sanctioned members of the International Criminal Court for going through a formal legal process to identify international leaders who engaged in war crimes, making them vulnerable to arrest.

Almost time to restart - still a white weekend to enjoy in #hamburg

So let's sum up: 1️⃣ Most moderation decisions are made by platforms for ToS violations, not illegal content. 2️⃣ The DSA resulted in 3mn moderation decisions in 2 years. 3️⃣ Of those, only 92k decisions (a meagre 0.0047% of total decisions), could even QUALIFY as censorship.🔽

Now that it is official US policy to promote regime change in Europe and to dismantle the EU I wonder if we will take sovereignty over tech more seriously

The news that #x has suspended the #eu's advertising account on the platform after it issued a 120m EUR fine against X for breaking the #DSA is beyond hilarious. And it might even be kind of good in the sense that politicians in Europe maybe finally realise how shitty it is to depend on such a […]

@gabrielesvelto THIS! Whenever anyone proposes solving a probem with AI I try to present it to them like this: You have a choice between spending a few days now to hash out a procedure that eliminates this problem. It's a one-time cost. OR you can try to use AI. You'll have a ongoing cost […]

One of the side-effects of the AI bubble is that we stopped talking about alternative solutions to computing problems. Everything needs to be solved with "AI" - meaning an LLM - and nobody stops and asks if there is an alternative. This drives me mad because LLMs are not only unreliable, but […]

Updating talk slides so you all get to be horrified along with me at the current Starlink numbers. There are now 7,652 Starlink satellites in orbit (>500 more than there were in February, when I last updated these particular slides). 2-3 Starlinks per day are burning up in the atmosphere […]

An extremely welcome initiative from the 🇪🇺 #eu: 🔋Phone Batteries must retain 80% capacity after 800 cycles. 📱Phone makers must provide 5 years of updates, 🪛 are banned from discriminating against repair shops, 🔧 and must provide parts for 7 years after EOL #eupol #sustainability #tech […]
