Accessibility features don’t just help some people — they make technology better for everyone.

Today, on Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we’re highlighting why accessible design matters.

We are working to make our websites and digital platforms more accessible — following EU-wide accessibility standards, making progress towards becoming fully accessible for all.

Because a more inclusive internet is in everyone’s interest.

"Dad, there's been a terrible accident, I'm in the police station, they won't let me fly home unless I pay £1000 immediately, send it to them now please."
He recognised his daughters voice and her panic like when her cat died. STOP!!!
His daughter was fine, relaxing safely on a beach.
AI clones your voice from three seconds of audio. The match is 85% accurate. 70% of Americans can’t tell a cloned voice from the real one. One family code word defeats the entire scam. Pick yours now.

Spotify is being run over by boring generic AI crap. Deezer however filters out AI crap.

Farewell #spotify … Bonjour #Deezer - nice to meet you! #aislop #aimusic

💚 Today is the International Day of Clean Energy.

- Nearly half of Europe's electricity came from renewables in 2024.

- We saved €120 billion through energy efficiency measures.

- And in June 2025, solar became the EU's largest power source for the first time in history.

Today we reaffirm our commitment to clean energy over imported fossil fuels, and to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.

Buffering is a thing of the past. Europe’s internet is getting a long-overdue refresh.

Our proposed Digital Networks Act is here to scrap old copper wires and push modern and harmonised networks.

We are talking frictionless, high-speed fibre across EU networks and protecting net neutrality in innovative services:
🥇 Consumer-first approach with fair pricing and better support
🛡️ Networks built to survive hacks and storms
⚡ Pure speed for your internet experience

80 years ago, the UN General Assembly started with a dream: to maintain peace and security in the world.

The good?
Eight decades without World War III.

Where do we stand today?
It’s complicated.

But in a world of 8 billion people, it’s the only room where everyone gets a seat.

80 years ago, we chose dialogue over force.
Today, we must choose it again.

@nixCraft any opinion?

my “Discover weekly” playlist (created based on your interests) is being run over by generic AI slob music. Please #Spotify, allow me to filter out AI crap. I see “artists” which produce 1 complete album every single week in 2025 alone - that’s 52x15=780 tracks! And that’s only one AI artist. We’re being run over by generic crap. I’m seriously thinking about cancelling my subscription after many years.

One port, one cable, one Europe.

This holiday, unwrap the power of one: USB-C for all.

Yes, not just phones, tablets, and laptops. In three years, every charger will be under the same tree.

Because less waste, smarter choices, mean more for everyone, all year long.
