Sometimes ironic, always antifascist.

EU federalist believeing in the united continent.

Who controls Europe's AI future? The most consequential choices are no longer made through legislation, but through investment deals that are largely out of public view.

Google Chrome is downloading a 4 GB Gemini Nano model onto users' machines without consent, with no opt-in, no opt-out short of enterprise tooling, and an automatic re-download every time the user deletes it. The pattern is identical to the Anthropic Claude Desktop case I wrote about last month, but the scale is between two and three orders of magnitude larger. This article does the legal analysis and, for the first time, the environmental analysis. The numbers are not small.

Meet Hassam. Heโ€™s been farming this land in Kamonyi District, Rwanda, since 1996.

He grows bananas, beans and maize โ€” and since 2021, has been planting trees across his farm with support from One Acre Fund and Ecosia. Over time, theyโ€™ve improved his soil and helped increase his harvests ๐ŸŒฑ

More reliable yields mean more dependable income. Hassam invests that in goats โ€” building security for his family and strengthening his livelihood.
