For the first time in my career, the change of pace in a sector of technology (AI), both at the model level and at the agentic engineering level, is beyond the pace where I can keep up and still do my work. So I just have to be ok with letting it all sort out on its own.

EU NEWS FOR HUNGARY

I’m planning to start a short Hungarian-language news feed about the EU. In this difficult month before our decisive parliamentary election, I’d like to show people that the EU is more than what they hear from state media.

What sources, technologies, or strategies would you recommend for this endeavour?

I boost my 3 days old post hoping that someone will find it challenging to help.

I know there are plenty of mission statements out there, but they often feel too generic. Many values the UEF embraces could just as well be championed by a loose confederation of nation-states.

I'm specifically interested in values that genuinely justify building a close, federal Europe. What makes federalism not just desirable, but necessary?

EUROPEAN VALUES

I'm facilitating a discussion at my local #UEF (Union of European Federalists) chapter and would love your input to prepare. The goal: to define - for ourselves and others - who we are and what we stand for.

Which #EuropeanValues are worth defending and strengthening in today's crumbling world order? Which of them clearly require closer European cooperation, or even a #federal #Europe?

Name specific values and argue in a sentence or two.

I just created a new #mastodon instance: https://fraxoweb.social

So far, I've been #selfhosting my stuff. But with this new one, I will allow people to signup.

As I'm expecting more people to leave American centralized platforms like #x :

My goal is to build a Canadian community where both #english and #french speakers are welcomed in the #fediverse

As a French Canadian myself, both languages are important to me.

#digitalsovereignty is obviously critical. The server is in #montreal #quebec #canada

That being said, my goal isn't to be the next "big" platform. I don't really intend to advertise that much. At least for now.

In fact, I might very well end up alone haha, but we'll see what happens.

I'll probably move my account there soon. I still have some configs to do.

 I #DIDit

Today I published my very last post on Instagram!

It took me some time to prepare this sad moment, but I am happy it's here now.

I shared @_elena great introduction video and wrote in the captions about how the Fediverse is such great place for creatives, artists, hobbyists, tinkerer, writer, art lovers, photographers, blogger, nerds and just everybody. And how one can find interesting people to talk to, original artworks, diverse communities and discover great music and journalism... and all this without annoying ads or stupid algorithms.  

💪 I've even (hello non tech person here!) made a little website for my friends with some info and links to help them switch to the Fediverse.

Head's up, Mastodon users: There appears to be a coordinated effort to impersonate relatively high-profile people who have accounts on various instances but who have not used them in a while.

I've gotten several follow notifications - and a couple of DMs - from impersonators of people I know. The bogus accounts have lots of underscores in the handles, and they repost items from the past, sometimes years old. If you spot this, please report, do not engage, and then block.

Pls boost.

@ghrasko and while this seems to be right from #anthropic side, this also points out that AI model vendors could highly affect in the background how their models behave, what answers they provide - for evil or for good.
