Just in case there is anyone left who still thinks it's ok for European government systems to run on services owned by us companies...
The same is true for European companies too.

SellaTheChemistScathing/sobering assessment of CCS and hydrogen tech in the context of climate change from Julian Allwood. Not a comfortable read. He must have had a hard time with referees because he comments:
Given the vast investment of academic effort …it is hardly surprising that the message of this paper is challenging, and this was made evident in the extensive process of manuscript review… the conclusions of the paper, reflected in the
title, should be seen not as heresy." https://www.nature.com/articles/s44286-025-00344-1

Too late for CCS and hydrogen - Nature Chemical Engineering
Fifty years after it was commercialized, global carbon capture and storage (CCS) capacity is equal to 0.09% of global emissions. Meanwhile, global emission-free electricity generation grows at a steady, linear rate. This Perspective argues that it is now too late for CCS or hydrogen to make a substantial contribution by 2050, so other solutions are required to decarbonize industry.

Oh we have the same wish @EUCommission
I think it'd be a powerful move if you deleted your X account (a platform that has become a vector of misinformation and a cesspool of hate).
By the way, your homepage states: "Follow us on" followed by the icons of Facebook, X and LinkedIn. I always found it odd, since those are algorithm-based U.S. companies and you are the EUROPEAN Commission. How about putting your Mastodon icon on your homepage?
Thank you for your consideration
Last week, I successfully defended my thesis, so I guess I'm a doctor now! 🥳 Surely this means I can take a break from the academic grind until at least the end of the year... right? 👨🎓

JPI think I am going to have to start gently mocking my friends and colleagues who use AI-generated extruded media product for things like article illustrations.
My dude, it looks like ass. It looks cheap and tacky and gross. Is that how you see yourself? Is this a cry for help?
abadideaTo translate formal Dutch to informal English: “bro, are you saying that if an undocumented immigrant calls us, the cops, and says ‘help help I’m being murdered’, we’re not allowed to go save them? do we need to ask to see someone’s passport before we pull them out of a burning fire? we, the cops, find this new law profoundly fucked up” https://www.politie.nl/nieuws/2025/juli/4/00-reactie-politie-op-instemming-tweede-kamer-met-anmw.html
Eerste reactie politie op instemming Tweede Kamer met ANMW
De Tweede Kamer heeft op 3 juli ingestemd met de Asielnoodmaatregelenwet (ANMW). De strafbaarstelling van illegaliteit zal niet meteen ingaan. Toch wil de politie nu al haar zorgen uitspreken over de uitvoerbaarheid, reikwijdte en de effectiviteit van deze maatregel.
