Oh WhatsApp, you changed. Meta got the best out of you.

Tech Fascists: We shall weaken the nation, destroy the economy, replace the dollar with crypto, replace people with AI, and create new Network State cities everywhere.
Normie Journalists: Folks, this is total chaos and incompetence with no structure or plan.
A strong Europe relies on a strong European steel industry.
We have put forward a plan to:
💡 Lower energy costs and boost clean energy access
🌍 Strengthen trade safeguards
♻️ Boost circularity
👷 Secure jobs and support workers through the transition
🌱 Fund decarbonisation
Our steel sector is the world's second but faces significant challenges.
We'll ensure it keeps sustaining a cleaner, better future for all Europeans for generations to come.

From EUmail to EuTube and Feuerfox, it's time for #EU + national govt to put money where European tech development is and help wean the continent off #UStech - fantastic, practical piece by @bert_hubert.

The very short version: It has now become clear that European governments can no longer rely on American clouds, and that we lack good and comprehensive alternatives. Market forces have failed to deliver a truly European cloud, and businesses won’t naturally buy as yet unproven cloud services, even when adorned with a beautiful European 🇪🇺 flag, so for now nothing will happen. This article is part of a series of posts on (European) cloud challenges.
Tariffs are bad for business, and worse for consumers.
We regret the unjustified 25% tariff on steel and aluminium imports imposed by the United States worth $28 billion.
We are responding with countermeasures worth up to €26 billion.
Nobody needs that – on both sides, neither the European Union nor the United States.
In a world fraught with uncertainties, it is not in our common interest to burden our economies with tariffs.
